Eagles Nest,
Mountbenger,
Yarrow Valley
Sleeps 4 (5) -Pets friendly
Eagles Nest is a traditional 19thC stone cottage - attractively decorated and furnished - which offers a high degree of comfort and some of the most stunning views in The Scottish Border Country. South-facing, and set in its own half-acre garden (furniture, gas BBQ), it stands at the end of a track (easily negotiated with care) a half-mile from the B709 which links Innerleithen (7 miles) to St Mary's Loch (5 miles), and is only 14 miles from the flourishing small town of Peebles (Hydro, shops, restaurants, etc).
This is a largely undiscovered area - perfect for walking, biking, angling, sailing, anyone wanting to get away from it all - or for exploring by car since quiet roads take you easily through this spectacular hill country to all the small Border towns and many places of interest. Traquair House, the oldest inhabited house in Scotland; Cashmere and woollen mills, The Border Abbeys, and Sir Walter Scott's 'Abbotsford' are all within easy visiting distance and Sir Walter himself was almost 'a regular' at The Gordon Arms Hotel/Pub about one mile from the cottage door. Edinburgh is a one hour drive, and Glasgow an hour and a half drive.
Heating is by oil-fired CH and wood-burning stove. Bed-linen and towels are available for hire. Pets are welcome but MUST be kept under strict control since this is a working farm with sheep and cattle.
