Fairnielees is a wonderful escape in its own valley in the Scottish Borders. It’s a 3-bedroom property, with an enclosed garden, surrounded by fields, trees, little streams and the sky! Eat-in kitchen, large lounge and gorgeous sun room, plus a separate study room for anyone needing to keep in touch with work during their stay. It’s family-friendly, dog-friendly and even horse-friendly. Walks from the door. Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, is just 30-40 minutes drive. Fairnielees is a generously proportioned, detached cottage, about 3/4 of a mile away from the main farm location. It was renovated in 2023 and you’ll find beautiful interiors and furniture throughout. The cottage is extremely peaceful and has excellent broadband and WiFi (100-150 mbps). KITCHEN & DINING The main door is at the rear of the property, entering via a porch and boot room to the large kitchen-dining room. The well-equipped kitchen has an oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, kettle, toaster, and all of cookware, serveware and glassware you could need. There is also a laundry nook with a washing machine. The kitchen has a wooden dining table which comfortably seats 6 guests. LIVING ROOM, SUN ROOM & OFFICE Beyond the kitchen, you’ll find a large living room with two big, comfy sofas and a smart TV (freesat for live TV and excellent broadband for catch-up TV). The room is painted in a cocooning blue shade (Selvedge, Farrow & Ball). Sliding glass doors reveal the south-facing sun room which is an incredibly calming space. This room is all about the surrounding views of the garden, the valley and hills beyond. There is a card and board games table with 6 chairs, or you may prefer the comfy sofa and armchairs for lazy afternoons. Also off the living-room you’ll find a large office which is ideal for anyone having a working holiday. The office room is painted in a gorgeous green, with large desk and plenty of light from the landscape window and desk lighting. There is also a sofa bed in this room. BEDROOMS & BATHROOM Upstairs you’ll find two airy bedrooms – one is a twin room, the other can be set up as a king or twin room. Both rooms have chests of drawers for clothes storage as well as shared hanging space on the landing. There is also a downstairs bedroom with a superking bed, a large wardrobe and tall chest of drawers. There is one bathroom in the property - it is downstairs, with a bath/shower, wc and basin. Note that we can provide a travel cot and high chair if needed. OUTSIDE SPACE The holiday cottage has an enclosed garden for your use. You’ll also be able to play on our tennis court, and of course you have full access to outstanding walk and cycle routes on the farm.
We loved it there. We were actually in the area for a family funeral, and this was the perfect place to unwind, reflect and relax when we most needed it. We will definitely plan a return trip for a happier time - it’s a really special place!
Ein wunderschönes Haus, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mitten in der Natur. Der Garten war für die Kinder toll und sie liebten es auch die vielen Tiere zu beobachten. (Fasane, Hasen, Schafe etc.) Wir können das Haus wirklich sehr empfehlen. Jo war auch sehr hilfbereit für Ausflugsideen in der Umgebung. Die leckeren Cookies welche Jo für uns bereitgelegt hatte zur Begrüssung, haben wir in Melrose auch gleich gekauft als Souvenir.
The thing that stood out to us the most was how private and peaceful the area was! Jo’s space was cozy, yet inviting, and we felt right at home. I was also pleasantly surprised with the outdoor playing areas for the kids. They loved adventuring outside and we loved lighting a fire a cozying up as a family with some games by the evening!
Staying on a working sheep farm in the Lauderdale area is a 'best of all worlds' location: it's the perfect place for chilling out, being outdoors, accessing Edinburgh (including the Festival), and moseying around historic Border towns. There is so much to do, you just have to work out how much you want to pack in! The Scottish Borders is one of the last "hidden gems" in Scotland and you will not be disappointed with it - full of history, landscape, seascapes, wildlife and all sorts of things to do. We also have fabulous cafes and restaurants so it's perfect for foodies too.
Most of our guests arrive by car and we recommend this approach as it means you can easily access everything that the Scottish Borders and Lothians have to offer. It is also possible to come on public transport from Edinburgh - you can get a train to Stow and then a taxi, or a bus to the bus stop at Carfraemill and walk the 1.5 miles or so from the A68 main road to the cottage. See the Border Buses website where you'll find details for bus number 51 or 52 - only the major stops are listed on the timetable, but buses also stop at Carfraemill between the stated Lauder Cross and Oxton departure times. You just stick your hand out when the bus is coming!
