For walking holidays in the Scottish Borders our holiday cottages and log cabins are in a perfect location. As well as numerous local footpaths nearby we also have the famous St Cuthbert’s Way running past us roughly 300 metres to the east. The route covers 100km of the finest Borders countryside from Melrose to Holy Island on the East Coast. More information on this path can been found on the St Cuthbert’s Way website
The many other famous walking routes locally include the Southern Upland Way, the Penine Way, the Borders Abbeys Way, the Roman Heritage Way, the Sir Walter Scott Way and the St Oswald’s Way.
The beautiful Borders scenery together with the rich history of our landscapes and the changing of the seasons make the Scottish Borders a truely exciting destination for a memorable walking holiday.
