White Cottage,
near Peebles

Sleeps 5

White Cottage is on a quiet back road 6 miles south of Peebles (hotels/shops/most facilities) just 100 yards, from the River Tweed (fishing permits available) - a very old traditional cottage with 2ft thick walls, which has been extensively modernised inside and extended at the rear whilst retaining the original simple frontage.

It has an enviable situation, standing in its own grass garden (garden furniture), backing onto the Cardrona Forest, and facing out through trees, across the river, to the valley of the Tweed and the hills beyond. The new Cardrona Golf course is approx. half a mile away welcomes visitors.

Near to Traquair, the oldest inhabited house in Scotland, it appears on a map dated l755, and is reckoned to have been the ford-keeper's cottage in the olden days when cattle were driven across the Tweed to Peebles and to Edinburgh which is now only 40 minutes drive away.

It makes a comfortable and spacious house in an ideal location for visiting not only all the lovely Border country and much of Dumfriesshire, but also, via the Edinburgh by-pass or the Erskine Bridge, some of Perthshire and Loch Lomondside.

Heating by night-storage heaters, wood-burning stove and electricity. Bed-linen and towels can be hired. Payphone. Sorry, no pets.
