The Garden House is a beautiful converted stable located next to the owners’ working farm in rolling countryside, a mile from the Borders village of Chirnside and can sleep two people in one king-size double bedroom with en-suite. The rest of the property contains an open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area. To the outside of the cottage there is off road parking for two cars and an enclosed lawned garden with patio, furniture and barbecue. The Garden House is an ideal romantic retreat for couples looking for a rural base with walks and cycle rides nearby, as well as easy access to the Berwickshire Coast.

Chirnside takes its name from the ancient Cairn that stood on a hill to the east of the village. It is perched on the ridge between the historic, walled town of Berwick-on-Tweed and Duns, overlooking the Tweed Valley and the distant Cheviots. The village itself is incredibly picturesque and prides itself on its many beautiful gardens. Eight miles away, you'll find the glorious, sandy beaches of Coldingham and Eyemouth, with its working harbour. Nearby attractions also include Maderston, Mellerstain, Paxton House and Ayton Castle. The grounds of the Hirsel ad Duns Castle Estate are also open to the public, as is St Abbs Head; a nature reserve run by the National Trust. The River Tweed provides fantastic opportunities for fishermen, walkers and bird-watchers and there is much evidence of the region's historic and turbulent past to be found in the spectacular countryside.
