Designed with families and groups in mind, the house blends modern convenience with countryside charm, making it an ideal base for exploring the Scottish Borders.
Inside, the welcoming lounge is the heart of the home, where a wood-burning stove creates a cosy atmosphere after a day outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering effortless, whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast or a relaxed evening meal. Outside, guests can unwind in the private hot tub, play pool, or gather on the decked seating area, softly lit in the evenings and perfect for socialising under the stars. Children will love the nearby communal woodchipped play park, while the generous driveway parking for up to five cars adds to the ease of group stays. With five comfortable bedrooms sleeping up to ten guests, fresh linen, towels, and modern bathrooms, everything is in place for a stress-free and memorable stay.
Beyond the house, the surrounding landscape truly sets this location apart. Heriot sits on the edge of the Moorfoot Hills, an unspoilt area of rolling hills, open moorland, and quiet country roads. Walkers and cyclists are spoiled for choice, with routes ranging from gentle countryside strolls to more challenging hill walks offering sweeping views across the Borders and beyond. Wildlife is abundant here, and early risers may spot deer, birds of prey, and other native species.
Despite its rural feel, the property is exceptionally well placed for exploring the region. Edinburgh is just 14 miles away, making it easy to enjoy the capital’s world-class festivals, historic Old Town, Edinburgh Castle, and vibrant night life. Access is simple via Park & Ride or Stow train station, only eight miles away, allowing you to enjoy city attractions without the hassle of city driving.
The Scottish Borders themselves offer a wealth of experiences. Nearby towns such as Melrose, Galashiels, and Peebles are rich in history, independent shops, cafés, and local produce. Visit the iconic Melrose Abbey, explore riverside walks along the Tweed, or enjoy family-friendly cycling trails and forest parks. Golf courses, fishing spots, and seasonal events ensure there’s something for every age and interest.
Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure, cultural exploration, or simply a peaceful countryside retreat with easy city access, this Heriot holiday home delivers the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery.
