Farmstay vacation rentals in Scottish Borders

Booked The Stables for 8 adults and 1 child as a little family break. We were greeted with strawberry jam and a packet of shortbread, courtesy of Nicola, and a handy booklet with info and instructions. The house was nothing short of gorgeous. Honestly the stuff of dreams! So clean, cosy and well proportioned. There aren’t enough words to describe the grounds themselves. We would need a week to explore them alone! Truly beautiful, a good base to explore Edinburgh as Glasgow as the train station is 10 mins away by car. A safe and open area where you could really relax and spend quality time with loved ones. Hope to be back when it’s snowing! Nicola was also very helpful and responded to enquiries in a timely manner! Many thanks.

We really enjoyed Kirsty’s place very comfortable, had everything you would need for a short or long stay. Would happily recommend this property for families, sleeps 5-7, spacious lounge with a well appointed kitchen. Kirsty was easy to communicate with and prompt with her responses.

After a few stays in other Airbnb places run by holiday companies, this trip was a breath of fresh air: our hosts were friendly, present, helpful – and the place itself was lovely. My family and I had a great stay here.

We had an amazing stay at the Orchard hideaway - it is in beautiful, rural and peaceful surroundings, and is exactly like the photos. It is private, warm and very clean, the hot tub is great and well maintained, and the host has thought of everything to make it a comfortable relaxing stay. We would love to come back and 100% recommend!

Loved our stay at Cat's cottage! We were there for a very special family celebration and couldn't have chosen better. It has a lovely feel to it and so spacious (even for 9 of us!) Easy walk into Eyemouth centre for lots of doggy friendly pubs!

Wonderful and cosy apartment right on the bank of the Tweed river. Terry is a great host, friendly, responsive and willing to help with local recommendations! We have had a great time staying at Terry’s place!

We, a family of five, enjoyed wonderful four nights in the lovely House on the Hill which was exactly as described. A great plus was the tennis court, that was very well received by our children. Walking the dog was a great experience. We used the farm cottage to explore Scottish Borders, Northumberland and of course Edinburgh. We would certainly come back and highly recommend this lovely place!

Great accommodation and lovely hosts. Perfect spot for the endless local mountain biking, walking, coffee and cakes. Wish we had stayed another week!

Delightful stay with lovely quiet countryside and cosy log burner. The place was immaculate and had everything we needed

Great location for visiting local beauty spots. The views from the Lodge itself are also stunning. Compact, clean and cosy with everything we needed.

Beautiful place, very responsive hot, everything was taken care of and wood was replenished swiftly for the log burner. Thanks so much for an amazing stay! Me and my wife would love to come back

A beautiful house in the most peaceful surroundings but five minutes drive from all amenities. The house is extremely spacious with high quality beds and bedding plus standout baths, making the stay feel really luxurious. There was no clutter and the house was spotless - a real home away from home for those visiting central Scotland. It was a memorable stay and we would have happily stayed longer!

Really super place, and perfect for our family of 5 as we visited various relatives around the area. The beds were very comfortable and the wood burner made it so cosy in the dark February evenings. Splendid view out! We’ll definitely stay again!

Another excellent stay at sheps hut!! Christopher is a great host..and thanks again for the chocolate bunnies left for us for our Easter stay. Hope to stay again soon!

Our stay at The Stables was heaven. Paul welcomed us and showed us around and had even set up the hot tub for us arriving. The house was immaculate with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated too. We loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom. The garden was beautiful and so peaceful and our two dogs loved it, it was completely secure for them which meant we could relax. The view from the garden and the location were wonderful, it was just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and for our cheeseboard and Prosecco it was such a thoughtful touch.

Morag and Jonny were absolutely great. Beautiful clean pod, hot tub was immaculate and overall just a beautiful location. Would recommend to anyone. X

The house was perfect for 5 adults and 5 children for our 3 night stay: clean and comfortable, plenty of crockery and cutlery for all ten of us, a table that seated us all, a lounge we all wanted to take home, a garden for the children to play in, lambs to feed, what more could we want? Hand wash, shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets in the kitchen. We parked 3 minutes down the road to kayak on the Loch and walked up the path to see Grey Mare's tail waterfall. There is a cafe and also toilets by the Loch. It was busy in the car park when we arrived on the Sunday, but ok after that. This is a great place for lovers of the outdoors. Bring a good book and games for the evenings and you're set up. We would all return to this lovely place.

Matt’s home was excellent. We felt like at home with everything you could need in your house but more peaceful than being at home. We slept like a baby in the huge bed star gazing from the bed! The river by the cottage was super soothing and it was a bonus seeing a hare by the door, as it is Easter! We would love to come back and we would not hesitate to book Matt’s home again.

Mel was a very helpful and friendly host. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for a quiet and peaceful break. Particularly good for the dog with the garden being fully enclosed and free to roam.

Stayed over new year and what a wonderful time we had! The setting was stunning with a perfectly sized farmhouse and annex cottage which suited our entire family. The open fires were perfect for the winter weather and every room was warm and well lit! The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped. The games room in the barn was an added bonus and the WiFi was strong enough for our children’s games consoles and phones. Overall a fantastic stay and will definitely be back

Wonderful stay. The location is absolutely superb. What amazing views and so peaceful and remote. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was pure bliss!! And the stars you could see on a clear night, wow. Despite being so remote it’s close enough to Edinburgh that you can drive in and do all the attractions. So just perfect. Kylie was a fab host too, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and letting the kids feed her kunekune pig one day! The animals are great, especially Karen then hen, although she will come inside if allowed haha! All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Kylie

A beautiful Place, perfect for our young family. Everything looking brand new and clean, A lovely big kitchen area for prepping food packed with every utensil you could ever need, Smart tv's in every bedroom ideal for the kids and even Sky tv in the Living Room, fast reliable Wifi, Hot Tub worked perfect and was very clean. Would highly Recommend and will certainly be returning! Emily was also quick to respond to any queries i had and was most helpful!

We had another wonderful stay at Lindsay’s cottage. Lindsay was extremely helpful and quick to respond. We enjoyed cosying up when the weather was bad and just appreciated the peace and quiet. The girls and the dogs loved running around the secure garden and we had the added bonus of seeing some lambs on the hill. We’ll hopefully be back again soon.

This tower is absolutely amazing. What a find! A great treat for my partners 50th and our wee girl felt like a true princess in the tower! Everything is comfortable clean and so much character! The surroundings were gorgeous too and especially for Easter and the Easter bunny! The beds were comfy, the bath brilliant and shadower strong and hot. Great having the open fires too. My wee girl loved sleeping in the wee quirky dookit in the lounge. Two kids could sleep here as another bed pulls out. Smart Tv great for our wee girl too. Can’t fault Anything ! Even a wee welcome pack. We will be back!
