The position, two miles south of Hawick, just off the A7, is ideal for many interests and activities - so whether you are interested in Historic Houses, Abbeys, Woollen Mills and Craft Museums, or prefer fishing, golf, tennis, bowls, putting, cycling, swimming, running, or walking ( either on the flat or up hills!) all these, and many more, are on hand locally.

Information on places to visit, walks or drives is available in the house to help you plan the days. You may prefer to read, do some craft work or just sit and take in the view as you await the two course lunch in the dining room, or afternoon tea in the conservatory or out on the terrace. However you decide to spend your time, you are assured of a warm welcome and we hope will leave us, as many of our guests do, with happy memories and a desire to return again and again.....
