Thairn Cottage is a spacious, single-level self-catering cottage with thoughtful touches to make your stay in the Scottish Borders relaxing and comfortable. Larger than our other cottages, it features an extra-long king-size bed – ideal for taller guests – and can sleep up to 3 with an additional bed in the bedroom or living room.

The cottage includes a bathroom with both a bath and a separate walk-in shower, plus a well-equipped kitchen with hob, oven/grill, microwave and dishwasher. A heated drying cupboard and access to secure outdoor storage for bikes, golf clubs or fishing gear are also provided.

Highly accessible, Thairn sits next to our level car park with an easy flagstone path. Off the south-facing living room is your private conservatory and patio – perfect for relaxed dining and birdwatching.
