We are pleased to offer our Granary holiday cottage conversion for the use of visitors to the Borders. Ideal for those coming to enjoy
the peace and quiet of our rural corner in this superb Border
country. Well behaved dogs are naturally 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 and is 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 and the Cashmere centre at
Hawick, the Selkirk glass factory, Sir Walter Scots home at Abbotsford,
Smailholm Tower and Floors Castle are some of the local attractions. 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.
The kitchen featuress a dish-washer, washing machine, fridge and
freezer, place setting for six etc. All linens and fuels are included
in 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. 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 the garden, via the ‘horse gin’, which is
where the horse would have been tethered in ancient times to walk around and
around and move the big wheel to turn the mill stones for grinding the
oats and barley. Very many of these have been destroyed over the years, being now obsolete, so we feel lucky to have ours intact. 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.
