Boasting two bedrooms and two shower rooms, this handsome getaway is a great choice for one or two couples, friends or a small family looking to explore the Scottish Borders. Its location in the centre of the picture-postcard town of Kelso means you can easily access a variety of independent shops and a fabulous choice of places to eat and drink, not to mention the racecourse, golf club and excellent salmon and trout fishing on the River Tweed. There are walks and cycle trails all around, and a visit to Floors Castle and Gardens, 1.5 miles, is a must. Heading further afield, the seaside town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is just 28 miles away, where you can follow the Lowry Trail, wander the Elizabethan walls that surround the old town and walk along the estuary to admire the iconic viaduct and the famous colony of mute swans.

Hang your coats in the hall of the terraced stone cottage, and head into the bright and airy lounge, which features a wooden floor, pale walls and a co-ordinated colour scheme. After a day in the fresh air, this is the perfect place in which to relax, lounging on the comfortable corner sofa as you stream a favourite show on the Smart TV. The kitchen/diner is another cleverly designed space, with plenty of cupboards, a breakfast bar for two and all the equipment the cook could want, including a microwave and a dishwasher. Completing the ground floor is a sleek shower room. Heading up to the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms, both beautifully styled and each with a Smart TV. On this floor there’s another refreshing shower room.

Although this property has no outside space, Shedden Park is just next door. Perfect for a picnic, it also offers a playpark, a skateboarding area and cricket and hockey pitches. Parking is on-street, and there is also a choice of free car parks within walking distance.
