About the home

The Whiteside Bothy is a superb redevelopment of a former steading, which has been furnished and equipped to an exceptionally high standard throughout. The house provides spacious and extremely comfortable accommodation for up to eight guests in four en-suite bedrooms. Reduced rates are available for parties who do not require all four bedrooms.

The Bothy oozes charm and character with many period features and an appealing combination of rustic, earthy tones, cosy fabrics and natural wood and stone finishes. A particular highlight is the large, convivial, open-plan living area incorporating the kitchen, dining area and cosy seating area. To the rear of the property is a sheltered, patio garden with fabulous views across open countryside to the hills beyond.

With the rivers Tweed and Blackadder just a few minute's drive from the house, it provides an ideal base for fishing parties. Similarly, there is some excellent and challenging shooting available within easy reach of the house. A gun cabinet and boot / drying room are provided.

The local area offers unrivalled walking, cycling and riding in miles of untouched countryside ranging from gentle river valleys, the rugged beauty of the Cheviot hills to the 25 miles of protected golden sands and secluded rocky coves that make up the Heritage coastline. The region is also a golfer's paradise with 16 courses within a 30 mile radius.

The Whiteside Bothy is just outside Greenlaw which offers an excellent village shop and pub. The attractive Border towns of Duns, Coldstream, Kelso and Melrose are all within easy driving distance and offer a good selection of pubs, cafes and local shops. Edinburgh is an easy day trip by car or 45 minutes on the train from Berwick.

The Scottish Borders region

The Border Country, comprising North Northumberland and the Southern Scottish Borders is a place of magnificent wide sky scenery, with vast expanses of untouched countryside ranging from rolling hills and rugged, windswept moorland, to gentle valleys and the 25 miles of protected golden sands and secluded rocky coves that make up the Heritage coastline. Even in the summer months, the sparkling clean beaches remain almost deserted.

Offshore, there is a thriving water sports scene, with excellent sailing and some of the UK’s best windsurfing and surfing at stunning spots such as Coldingham and Beadnell Bay. Dotted along the coast are picturesque fishing villages such as St Abbs, Alnmouth, Beadnell, and Craster offering wonderful seafood including smoked kippers, crab sandwiches and supremely fresh fish and chips. From the pretty village of Seahouses take a boat to the Farne Islands, home to a large colony of grey seals and 21 species of birds, including puffins.

For outdoor sports enthusiasts the region offers an unrivalled diversity of thousands of miles of dedicated footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways. The routes, anything from one hour to several days, take in some of the area’s most magnificent countryside including the heritage coast, Cheviot, Lammermuir and Eildon Hills and Kielder Forest, which encompasses the vast Kielder Water, Europe’s largest man-made lake with an impressive 27 mile shoreline. Famous routes include the fabulous 63-mile long St Cutherbert’s Way following the trail of early Christianity from Melrose to Holy Island, The Pennine Way, The Southern Upland Way and Border Abbey Way.

In addition to the spectacular scenery is the rich, often bloody, history of the region. The Romans and early Christians, the later border wars between the English and the Scots and the two World Wars have all left their imprints on the region, giving rise to a plethora of fascinating ancient and historical sites and buildings. Some of the most spectacular are the magnificent chain of castles, including dramatic Bamburgh, perched high on its rocky outcrop, the vast, romantic ruins of Dunstanburgh, the palatial splendour of Floors, impressive Thirlestane "one of the seven great houses of Scotland" and foreboding Alnwick, made famous as the location for Hogwart’s School in the Harry Potter films.

The region also boasts a number of important houses including Traquair, the oldest inhabited house in Scotland, Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, Manderston, the location for Channel 4’s ‘The Edwardian Country House’ and award-winning Paxton, reputed to be the finest example of an eighteenth-century Palladian country house in Scotland.

At low tide, drive across the causeway to the famous religious retreat of Holy Island, or Lindisfarne. This tiny, picturesque island is home to the evocative remains of a ruined eleventh-century priory, a beautifully restored castle and the infamous Lindisfarne Mead. Similarly impressive ecclesiastical splendours are the majestic abbey ruins at Jedburgh and at Dryborough, which is the burial place of Sir Walter Scott.
