Greenlaw
Scottish Borders
A cottage with classic country sporting lodge interiors on the Marchmont Estate, near the Scottish Borders village of Greenlaw.
Surrounded by the picturesque countryside of the Scottish Borders, The Whiteside Bothy lies near the village of Greenlaw and is a short drive from the historic Marchmont House which boasts a fascinating art collection and musical programme. Stay here and look forward to plenty of long country walks and relaxed days spent savouring the peace of the rural setting, with several pretty villages and visitor attractions on hand for day trips.
Enter the cottage into a vestibule with plenty of storage for boots and coats before proceeding into the oak panelled central hallway. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space is set beneath a vaulted ceiling and decorated in a warm arts-and-crafts style, with tapestries hanging either side of the wood burner, plaid wool sofas, and patterned curtains. The spacious kitchen features a central island with bar seating, while the large dining table provides the perfect place to gather for evening meals warmed by the fire. Windows fill the space with natural light and garden doors lead out to the enclosed patio with a table and chairs which is sure to tempt you outside on sunny mornings.
Two of the three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, the first containing twin beds which can be configured as a super king upon request and the second containing a fixed super king size bed. The rooms are individually styled and feature more patterned textiles and characterful antique furniture. Both benefit from en suite bathrooms and enjoy wonderful far-reaching views across the leafy countryside which surrounds the cottage.
Upstairs, a mezzanine serves as a second living area and looks over the main open-plan space below. Steps lead to an upper hall, off which you’ll find the third bedroom with a fixed super king size bed, whimsical floral-patterned wallpaper, and an en suite bathroom.
The surrounding area of the Scottish Borders is full of spectacular scenery and historic sites to explore, from the ruined abbeys of Kelso, Melrose, Jedburgh, and Dryburgh to the beautiful Berwickshire coastline. Alternatively, head south beyond the border and explore the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with iconic spots including the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Bamburgh lying less than an hour away.
