cottages
We have 4 beautiful self-catering cottages to choose from on our farm – stay in one property, or book more if you’re coming in a bigger group. All are former shepherd’s dwellings or gamekeeper’s cottages. They have been renovated with modern-country interiors. Come for peace and quiet, walks from the doorstep and easy access to Edinburgh and all of the Scottish Borders. We are dog-friendly and family-friendly.

highfield
The largest of our self-catering cottages, calming modern-country interiors following renovation in 2021. Highfield sleeps 4 with space for a extra bed and cot if needed. Two bathrooms with showers (one with a bath). Excellent kitchen with range cooker and beautiful oak dining table which sleeps up to 10 people. A very spacious lounge with additional dining / card games table.
hernie cleugh
A pretty stone-built cottage, Hernie Cleugh is the little sister to Highfield next door. Two super bedrooms upstairs (one king and one twin), shower room downstairs. Well-equipped kitchen, dining table and living area. Private garden area with table and chairs.


fairnielees
Along a farm track, in a valley all of its own, lies Fairnielees. It’s a house with 3 bedrooms, sleeping 6 guests comfortably plus an additional office space with sofa bed. This cottage is open primarily in the spring to autumn months. The potential for snow over the winter means that stays in December to March are only possible with a 4×4 vehicle!
berry hill
Former gamekeeper’s cottage which has also been fully renovated. Gorgeous interiors and generous living space for 4 guests (plus camp beds and travel cots if needed). Two bath/shower rooms. Open plan living-kitchen-dining with a separate lounge.

group accommodation
The self-catering cottages can be taken individually or as a group. Across our cottages, we can accommodate 20+ guests.
Highfield and Hernie Cleugh have interconnecting doors which we can open up if required. The resulting cottage has 4 bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms as well as plenty of living space.
