North Cottage Teviothead

North Cottage is out at Howpasley Farm near Teviothead. It's a two-up two-down, the kind farm workers used to live in. It's very quiet here. You mainly hear the birds and the stream.

It sleeps four, with two bedrooms upstairs and the bathroom. It's got a 3 Star rating. It was all done up a couple of years ago, so it's comfortable but not fancy. There's a wood burner in the living room. The kitchen is a decent size.

You get your own garden with a picnic table. There's plenty of parking and we can put bikes in the shed. The WiFi is good from the fibre broadband.

If you like walking or cycling, you're right in it. You can get straight onto the trails in Craik Forest from the farm. It's proper hill country, good for getting away from things. You can walk around the farm tracks by the burn too, just mind the sheep.

The nearest shops and things are in Hawick, which is about twelve miles. It's a drive. Carlisle is an hour south, Edinburgh is under two north.

For facilities, there's a washing machine, bedding and towels are included, and there's parking. It's wheelchair accessible to get in. There's no bath, just a shower. No pets, sorry.

If you want to book for more people, you can rent South Cottage next door as well.
