Scottish Tourist Board 4 star self catering cottages

Our Cottages

Thairn		Begrum		Mungo's Well

At Burnbrae, in the heart of the Scottish Borders, we have three one-bedroom cottages which were created during 1999-2001 by conversion of a long stone barn. Each cottage is light and airy with plenty of space. From the dining area of the living room, there is direct, level access to a south-facing conservatory with views across the secluded garden, river and the Tweed valley to the Cheviot hills and the border between Scotland and England.

Each cottage is generously equipped for 2-4 people for self catering. For those who require them, we can provide additional beds for each cottage. All of the rooms are on the same level and reached from the car park without any step up or down. Cars can approach close to the main entrance of each cottage for loading. There is a large, private car park adjacent to the cottages.

We have a travel cot & a high chair available for use in any of the cottages.

Awards

Each of our cottages has been awarded 4 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board, who inspect them annually. We also hold the gold award under the Green Tourism Business Scheme. To read about our environmental policy, click here.

Smoking

All of our cottages are non-smoking areas.

Internet access

We provide broadband access without charge.

Pets

Well behaved dogs are welcome with their owners in Begrum, and in the pasture adjacent to the garden. We ask that dogs be supervised at all times and are not allowed on the beds or other furniture. We have about 30 acre of pasture in which you are welcome to walk with your dog. If you wish to bring a pet to Burnbrae, please ask before making a holiday reservation.

Equipment

Each kitchen has a fridge/freezer, hob and an oven/grill/microwave. Each cottage has a heated drying cupboard. All linen – towels and bedding - is provided. All have colour tv, dvd player, hi-fi cd player/radio, alarm clock, and a hair dryer.

Comfort

Each cottage has electrical heating throughout which is supplemented by a wood-burning stove in the living room. We will lay the fire and light it on request or at an arranged time so that there is a bright glow to welcome you on your arrival or on return from an outing. We provide a supply of firewood in the living room. The cottages are well insulated and can be maintained warm in the coldest weather without any extra charge for fuel or electricity.
