Located on The Yair Estate in the Scottish Borders, Kennels Cottage was once part of the stable block. This pretty grade B listed building has been renovated to create a luxurious holiday cottage for four, making it ideal for a family escape to rural Scotland. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, ancient woodland and the River Tweed flowing past, this is a scenic getaway for those looking to slow down the pace and recharge.
Kennels Cottage has plenty of country charm and is warm and welcoming from the moment you step in through the front door. There’s a cosy living and dining room with armchairs and a sofa gathered around a wood-burning stove, making it the perfect spot for a board game or snuggling up with a film. You’ll find the contemporary kitchen fully equipped for a self-catering holiday and there’s plenty of room for four around the dining table under soft pendant lighting.
The luxurious master bedroom features a king-size bed and you’ll find crisp white sheets and fluffy towels waiting for you. The second bedroom can be made up as another king or a twin room and has a cosy feel with a view of the greenery outside. There is a family bathroom with a shower and a bath to relax in after long walks or bike rides.
Alternatively, you could go for a soak in the newly installed hot tub outside. It’s under cover, so you can enjoy it whatever the weather and makes the ideal way to round off a busy day in the Scottish Borders. There’s also some outdoor furniture and a barbecue in the pretty garden area.
The Yair estate is a great base for outdoor enthusiasts or for those looking to reconnect with the outdoors. Stroll in the estate’s beautiful gardens and explore the surrounding landscape via hiking and mountain biking trails. It’s a great choice for any keen fishermen as there is a private section of the River Tweed where guests are invited to cast a line. Fishing is a central part of the estate’s history, in fact, The Yair gets its name from the old Scots word for fish trap.
