Holiday rental: 2 bed Apartment in Scottish-Borders Scotland Scotland, for rent short term

Once the home of the animals that worked the mill, this converted barn cottage has the air of a luxurious Scottish bothy. The wood-burning stove is the focal point of the living room where a selection of board games and coffee-table books provide some off-grid entertainment (though there is a widescreen TV too). Dining is set for six in the open-plan living area, and a stylish modern kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. Tucked above the kitchen on a mezzanine level, you’ll find a sleeping nook with a king-size bed serving as the second bedroom. Outside, there’s a private, walled garden with outdoor seating and a chiminea for colder evenings. Exploring the grounds of the old mill you might spot wild ducks, owls, heron and otters alongside the resident, friendly sheep. You’re welcome to apples, plums and hazelnuts from the orchard and can forage for brambles and elderflower too. Further afield, hilltop walks await in the Lammermuirs and it’s a seven-minute drive to Thirlestane Castle for a family day out.
*The second bedroom is an open mezzanine area with a low ceiling above the kitchen
*Those staying in the mezzanine sleeping are will have to access the bathroom through the main bedroom
*Two additional guests can be accommodated on the sofa bed, but it would be a squeeze
*The nearest shop is three miles away so having a car is recommended, and there is plenty of parking
*There is a fast-flowing river in the grounds so children should be supervised
*Some road noise can be heard from the A697 when sitting outside
