Old Kirkstead is a charming stone shepherds cottage located in the picturesque Yarrow Valley between Selkirk and Moffat in Scotland. The cottage sleeps 8 people across 4 bedrooms, including a double bedroom with en-suite, a twin bedroom downstairs, and a twin and king size bedroom upstairs. The spacious open plan living area includes a large contemporary kitchen, perfect for families or groups looking to relax and unwind.
Guests can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and beautiful landscapes, making it an ideal base for hill walkers, bird watchers, and wildlife enthusiasts. Well-behaved pets are welcome at Old Kirkstead, but must be kept on a lead due to the working farm surroundings. The cottage is heated by oil-fired central heating, ensuring a comfortable and cosy stay throughout the year.
Although there is no broadband and limited mobile signal at Old Kirkstead, guests can enjoy the tranquility of the area without distractions. Nearby attractions include St Abbs & Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve, St Mary's Loch, Waverley Line, and Kailzie Gardens. With 4G signal available a couple of miles down the valley, guests can still stay connected if needed, while enjoying a peaceful retreat in the Scottish Borders.
