Mungo’s Well

About this listing

Escape to the heart of the Scottish Borders at Mungo’s Well Cottage, where serene countryside views and thoughtful amenities make for an unforgettable retreat. Nestled amidst the gentle rolling hills near the historic town of Kelso, this cosy, self-catering hideaway is perfect for couples seeking tranquillity or friends looking for a peaceful escape. With its inviting atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, Mungo’s Well captures the charm of rural Scotland, offering a true haven for relaxation and exploration.

Step inside, and you’ll be welcomed by the warmth and comfort of a home away from home. The cottage’s spacious, south-facing living room is the perfect place to unwind, complete with a wood-burning stove stocked with home grown and dried wood. Whether you’re curled up with a good book, streaming your favourite series on the TV with Netflix, or letting the sounds of your favourite music play from the mini-Hi-Fi with an iPod docking station, every detail has been designed with your comfort in mind. Through French doors, the living area opens to a private conservatory, an ideal spot for morning coffee with countryside views, and onto a patio and lush garden—an idyllic setting for quiet relaxation or evening stargazing.

The bedroom can be arranged as a double or a twin, offering flexibility and comfort. Wake up refreshed and ready for a day of adventure or unwinding, and prepare a leisurely breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen. Here, you’ll find everything you need to cook a romantic dinner for two, with a fridge-freezer, an oven with a grill, a combination microwave, and a handy dishwasher. Complete with crockery, cutlery, and glasses, the kitchen is designed for all your culinary needs, whether you’re whipping up a quick snack or a multi-course meal.

Though Mungo’s Well provides all you need for a cosy night in, Kelso is just a short drive away and offers a tempting selection of cafes, pubs, and restaurants to savour local flavours. Spend your days exploring the historic charm of Kelso, with its cobbled streets, grand abbey, and riverside walks, or head out into the surrounding countryside for hiking, cycling, golfing, fishing and wildlife spotting.

Mungo’s Well Cottage is more than a place to stay—it’s a retreat for the soul, where the pace of life slows down, and each day begins and ends with the quiet beauty of the Scottish landscape.
