Getting around

The Bothy sits on our farm, just 3 miles from Kelso so a car or bike is the best way to get aroujnd from here. There is however also a beautiful riverside walk from the farm to the outskirts of Kelso which many guests love to take, and it's perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon where they may wish to have a spot of lunch in one of the cafes or restaurants before meandering home. We are also close to Tweedbank Station on the Borders railway should guests fancy a day up in Edinburgh seeing the sights. Other local towns including Melrose, Jedburgh and Galashiels are all within 20-30 minutes drive and Berwick Upon Tweed is approximately 40 minutes from us.

Interaction with guest

We are always on hand for guests staying in The Bothy and our house is right next door. As we are a working farm we are often out and about but always contactable on our mobiles should guests need anything during their stay.
