Edinburgh & The Borders » Kelso
Sleeps up to 10

Hot Tub

Lochside Stable House is a converted Victorian property in Town Yetholm, Scottish Borders, sitting between its own large enclosed garden and the cobbled courtyard of Lochside House. Originally stables and a groom's flat, it sleeps 10 across five bedrooms. A private hot tub, open fire and firepit make this a seriously comfortable base year-round. The outlook across the SSSI Yetholm Loch wildlife reserve with green rounded hills behind is genuinely special.

The surrounding estate grazes horses and rare breed Soay sheep. Woodland and loch-side walks start from the door. Ospreys and otters have been spotted at the loch. Kelso is 7 miles away.
