The cottages are tucked away at the end of a little lane on our family farm, not far from the charming market town of Kelso, where a monthly Farmers Market is held in the town square.

Nestled between Hendersyde’s West and East Cottages is Southsyde, a charming farm cottage.

Spectacular views extend from Hume Castle and the Lammermuir Hills on the horizon, over the Tweed Valley to The Cheviot Hills in Northumberland National Park.

The kitchen, which is accessible through the cottage porch, has a ceramic hob, cooker, microwave, a refrigerator/freezer, and a washing machine. The cottage has always maintained Visit Scotland’s independent evaluations of 4-star quality.

Full central heating, double glazing, plenty of insulation, and an open fire, keep Southsyde cosy througout the year.

A power shower is located over the bath in the downstairs bathroom.

Upstairs two double bedrooms face north and south. The beds can be prepared as super-kings or twins.

The sheltered, south-facing garden is the perfect place to unwind and soak up some rays.

Looking over the Cottage Field towards the Fox Covert wood, you may be lucky enough to hear the clatter of heron among the trees tops. See hares and Roe deer wandering between the woods. Walking by the waterside you might hear, or see, the splash of a salmon, catch a glimpse of otter, or watch a variety of birds as the River Tweed and Eden Water flow by the farm.

An area of largely undiscovered country lies between Edinburgh and Alnwick, each about an hour from Hendersyde. Enjoy the wide open spaces and undulating landscapes of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.

Rivers, coasts, and hills are all part of your playground.
