Hearthstanes Steading is a beautiful place and ideal for a relaxing holiday as well as providing plenty of opportunities to take part in activities in the surrounding area which is stunning. We were able to take our dog who was also well provided for. Ralph and Maura are lovely people and couldn’t do more to help - we will be visiting again!
United KingdomOur second time staying at Hearthstane. As last time, very comfortable beds and bedding. Beautiful location with easily accessible walks. Very well equipped kitchen - the accommodation in general has everything you could need. Its 20 mins to the nearest town with a shop after 6pm so bring food shopping or be prepared to drive out. The small local store in Broughton is very well equipped though. I spent a nice day fly fishing on Talla reservoir 10 minutes along the road too. Some nice touches added since last time I stayed. Nice to see it just keeps improving!
United KingdomRemote and peaceful. A beautiful location. Ralph was a great host and always on hand to answer any questions.
United KingdomThe accommodation was extremely clean and very homely and comfortable. Ralph was extremely helpful. we had a lovely relaxing few days and explored the surrounding countryside which was breath taking. A lovely place to visit for a relaxing holiday
United KingdomThe 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 :-)

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.
