These include quirkily designed cottages with exclusive access to stunning gardens, a vibrant Victorian townhouse in the heart of a bustling market town, and a newly refurbished riverside farmhouse with fantastic access to the River Tweed.
Some companies make finding idyllic places to unwind, relax, and gain inspiration in the UK simple, and among the very best of them is Crabtree & Crabtree. The company has unveiled four lovely properties, each set in an exceptional location from which to explore the enthralling history and rural charms of the Scottish Borders.
New Ladykirk Farmhouse, Ladykirk
Sleeps 8 guests | 4 bedrooms | Dog Friendly

The immaculate interiors feature open-plan living with an electric AGA, cosy log burners, and large bay windows, all complemented by a sophisticated country-style design and colour palette.
