| Horseshoe Cottage is delightfully positioned on the edge of a farm near the tranquil hamlet of Hume in the Scottish Borders. This detached cottage is deceptively spacious with the accommodation benefitting from being all on ground floor level. The open countryside views surrounding Horseshoe Cottage are simply stunning; a large mature garden is the idyllic spot to rest and relax. Horseshoe Cottage is situated in a rural location only 7 miles from the picturesque market town of Kelso, with its quaint cobbled streets and offers a wide arrange of facilities including a cinema, indoor swimming, a pottery and an ice rink along with many shops, pubs and charming tea rooms. Golfers will delight in the prestigious Roxburghe course and Springwood Park showground plays host to many international horse riding events throughout the year. Ramblers and cyclists will absorb the wild and lonely vistas along the many miles of bridleways and foot paths - the challenging route of 'St Cuthbert's Way' passes close by. The salmon rich River Tweed offers good fishing opportunities and Floors castle (the family seat for the Duke of Roxburghe) is softly illuminated at night. The border town of Jedburgh, renowned for its wooden mill and where the Castle Jail and Museum along with Mary Queen of Scots house are all interesting visitor attractions 19 miles west. This unique location is only 10 miles from the England/ Scotland border. Visit Coldstream, situated where the River Tweed forms a natural boundary between England and Scotland; it has an ancient history - stretching back to the bronze age - and is without doubt the most dramatic and historic entrance into Scotland. It's recognised as "The first true Border Toon" and is the birthplace of The Coldstream Guards, which are now the oldest British regiment. The nearby Hirsel Estate offers wonderful woodland walks, and a superb 18 hole golf course (recently voted ;the friendliest course in the Borders); horse riding and fly fishing on the salmon rich River Tweed are also available close by. The elegant Georgian town of Berwick is also well worth a visit a further 12 miles east. This unique location is often described as the 'secret kingdom' and provides an excellent base for touring the Scottish Borders and North Northumberland alike. It is contained to the west by the wild, lonely beauty of the Cheviot Hills an Northumberland National Park; and to the east by its magnificent Heritage coastline renowned for its extensive sandy beaches, rocky coves and picturesque fishing villages. |
