A dainty cottage with impeccable design credentials in the heart of the Scottish Borders.
Explore the best of the Borders from the comfort of this charming cottage
The delightful Campsie Cottage sits just off the village green in the pretty Borders village of Ancrum, just a few paces from the convivial Cross Keys Inn and Ancrum Pantry. The village is a ten-minute drive south of the historic town of St Boswells and the same north of Jedburgh, meaning it's ideally placed for exploring many of the key sights and historic abbeys of the Borders.
Keen walkers will be tempted to take on the Borders Abbey circular walk, which links the historic abbeys of Melrose, Dryburgh, Jedburgh and Kelso, or perhaps hike sections of the long-distance St Cuthbert's Way, which stretches from Melrose to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.
Campsie Cottage itself is a whitewashed semi-detached cottage whose compact exterior belies the sense of space within. Immaculately renovated by the owners, who have used soft Farrow & Ball paint colours and select designer furnishings throughout, the cottage is both cosy and elegant.
Stepping into the cottage, the timber floors, soft blue grey panel-boarded walls and winding coir-carpeted staircase offer an inviting welcome. The fire-warmed sitting room leads off from the hallway, continuing the gentle colour scheme and lovely combination of timber floors, a coir rug, soft linen furnishings and full height beadboarding on one wall. French doors bring you from this attractive living space to a small enclosed, south-facing patio garden.
The country-style kitchen, with its charming Harvest Hare wallpaper (from the acclaimed St Jude's artist-designed wallpapers), is a light-filled spot in which to enjoy informal meals at the timber dining table.
The cottage's two bedrooms are located upstairs, comprising a dual-aspect master bedroom with a French-inspired carved wooden and cane framed bed set beneath sloping eaves and an en-suite shower room and a twin room overlooking the rear garden. Guests staying in the twin room enjoy access to a family bathroom, with a bath and shower over, located on the ground floor.
In addition to placing St Boswells and Jedburgh a short hop from your doorstep, Campsie Cottage is a five-minute drive from the Harestanes Visitor Centre. Boasting a large play park, scenic walking trails and a café serving home baked goodies, the centre is a firm favourite with families.
Alternatively nearby Jacksons of Jedburgh offer fun-filled farm experiences, including muddy Mondays, where toddlers and children get to explore the outdoors, play messy and get up close to farm animals in a safe environment.
This cottage is located in Jedburgh. Hawick Museum & Art Gallery and Heart of Hawick are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Monteviot House and Mary Queen of Scots House. Woodside Garden Centre and Scott's View are also worth visiting.
