The cottage was very well equipped. Very comfortable beds and furnishings. Set in a lovely courtyard that gets plenty of sun. Ralph and Maura were very friendly and helpful, loved the facilities, the bowling, table tennis etc and the pool next year will be a real bonus
United KingdomIt was quiet,big and spacious, beautiful location and views. Highly recommended
United KingdomEverything, love the location, quiet and plenty of walks.
United KingdomAmazing place, we enjoyed mountain hiking. Had a great time and Ralph and Maura are lovely hosts.
United KingdomFantastic scenery! Ideal for touring and hiking. Very peaceful and tranquil setting. The cottage was perfect and the lovely hosts actually upgraded us...
United KingdomRalph was the most helpful host we've ever encountered on booking.com and we've been to lots of places! Super comfy beds and sofas and plenty of hot water. If you love walking as much as we do then you will have no reason to leave the estate. Very dog friendly with blankets and towel provided for the dog and lots of the pubs nearby are dog friendly too (The Crown at Biggar, Laurel Bank tearoom, Kailzie Gardens and cafe etc). It is quite rural (which means no shops/restaurants/supermarket on the doorstep) but that is exactly what we love. You need a car. Great information is provided in the cottage about local attractions and walks. Just perfect, we can't wait to stay again in May :-)
United KingdomThe cottage is in between beautiful mountains. Its about 1,5h drive from Glasgow and 1h from Edinburgh, where the country is more flat. You need a car to get there but even the drive was just stunning through little villages and on country roads. The accommodation was comfortable and newly refurbished. All was great and better than expected. All communications with our hosts were very easy and they were lovely! The area was quiet and idyllic and we had the best sleep! 30min from the cottage is Peebles with all vacilities you need like shops, pharmacy, supermarkets and a bit further is a forest park which offers a range of different activities and trails to walk with kids. We would definitely recommend and come again.
United KingdomThe accommodation was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The layout was just about right for either a short or longer stay.
United KingdomVery welcoming in a great location! We travelled about a bit, but there's plenty to explore and do on the estate itself!! It was excellent!!
United KingdomGreat value for money, very clean, good layout, great storage, outdoor storage for bikes, very helpful hosts

Ralph & Maura
Hearthstanes Estate is a working hill farm in the Scottish Borders within easy reach of Edinburgh and Glasgow airports as well as Newcastle ferry port. The Steading accommodates five renovated traditional cottages, which allows guests to stay in the countryside and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, fishing, stalking and falconry on the open hills and forests of the Estate itself.
We have lived on and worked the farm since 1984.
We are in a very rural setting, classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Wilderness Area and part of the Tweed River Foundation. This allows for great opportunities for outdoor activities and yet we are also within easy reach of Edinburgh and Glasgow for sightseeing, shopping, theatre and other entertainment.
