The Granary - Sealpins New Holiday Accomodation

We are pleased to announce after more than a year of planning and developing and a great deal of hard work and effort on the part of our son William, that our Granary holiday cottage conversion is complete. It has been a huge task, with many problems connected to drains and heavy stonework ,the result is fantastic, being a very attractive, ancient building , now saved for posterity!

We are offering the Granary for holidays, for those coming to enjoy the peace and quiet of our rural backwater, in this superb Border country .Well behaved dogs will naturally be welcome.

Shooting and fishing can be arranged, in the area and ,of course walking and bird watching can be enjoyed straight from the front door, in any direction. In fact the Borders can cater for all tastes, having many excellent golf courses and other sporting facilities close by. The area abounds with great houses, castles, monasteries and abbeys, all along the Tweed valley, from Peebles in the west , to Berwick upon Tweed on the east coast.

Edinburgh is just fifty miles distant, being such an attractive, historic and vibrant city to visit, especially in the summer for the world famous Festival, or winter, for the equally exciting Hogmany celebrations .

Closer to Lanton Hill, are the border mill towns of Jedburgh, Kelso, Hawick , Melrose and Selkirk , each with their own identity and different appeal. Woollen mill shops abound, the Cashmere centre at Hawick , the Selkirk glass factory, Sir Walter Scots home at Abbotsford, Smailholm Tower and Floors Castle are but some of the visitors attractions of wide appeal.

The Granary itself , is a completely renovated stone building , lined throughout ,warm , cosy, light and airy, with a Rayburn cooker , central heating and double glazing.

There are two double bedrooms, bathroom , with shower ,a very large living kitchen and upstairs a huge gallery sitting room , with wood-burner and outside steps to garden ,via the ‘horse gin’ , which is where the horse would be tethered in ancient times , to walk around and around , moving the big wheel to turn the mill stones for grinding the oats and barley. Very many of these have been destroyed over the years, as being obsolete , so we feel lucky to have ours intact.

The kitchen provides a dish-washer, washing machine , fridge and freezer , place setting for six etc. All linens and fuels are included the price , as an owner managed holiday home , we aim to give our clients every care and comfort ,while here with us at Lanton Hill.

The Granary is situated at the heart of our small grass farm, high on the hill-side , just two miles from the town of Jedburgh , which lies on the A68 trunk road half-way between Newcastle and Edinburgh , both of which have airports linking to Heathrow.

We enjoy stupendous views, in every direction, a temperate climate mostly, with some frosts in winter and very low rainfall.
