Photos and Description of the Scottish Borders vacation farmhouse rental
2 Large bedrooms, upstairs study area, 1 bathroom, sleeps 5

Kirkhouse Farmhouse is surrounded by beautiful Scottish countryside only 30 miles from Edinburgh on the edge of the hamlet of Dolphinton - between West Linton, one of the most beautiful villages in Scotland - and Biggar, a small market town full of history and character. A large private garden leads directly onto the estate, which offers 300 acres of mixed woodland, heather hillside, wildlife habitat, picturesque streams and farmland grazing - a miniature of the Scottish Borders landscape.

The farmhouse dates from the 19th Century and forms part of a working farm, built on the site of a Roman encampment.

The two storey, fully centrally heated property has large rooms providing comfortable, spacious accommodation. The big farmhouse kitchen is well equipped for large family dinners and the dining area provides a more formal setting. The lounge has a log burning stove for extra cosiness in the evenings and three sofas for relaxing. Satellite TV is included.

Carbon Offsetting: White Hill Estate contains a wide variety of woodland and we are happy to discuss dedicated tree planting to offset the impact of our guests' travel.

Horse Accomodation: White Hill is home to several horses, and those wishing to bring their own horse with them to enjoy quality hacking with spectacular views are very welcome. 20 x 40 m outdoor, all weather arena. Please contact us to discuss grazing and loose box arrangements. *Full groom's service also available*.

Falconry: For those with their own hawk or falcon, the estate provides a rich and varied hunting landscape. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Details for Kirkhouse Farmhouse 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 5, 1 Bathroom

Pleasant Week in the Scottish countryside

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 16, 2010

The old farmhouse lies in a beautiful setting among the hills and pastureland of the Scottish countryside. The owners have done a terrific job of restoring and modernizing. The house is clean and comfortable with a large farmhouse kitchen. The living area has two sofas, a dining room table and a nice fireplace that we enjoyed on a cool rainy day there. A nice touch on our arrival was finding a bottle of wine and some snack crackers on the kitchen table.
Located about 30 minutes from Edinburgh the farmhouse is a good location for using as a base for touring the area, walking or just relaxing. We enjoyed our visits with the owners Sam and Deborah. They are a go od source of information about dining choices and also about the surrounding area.
We enjoyed our holiday there and highly recommend it. We live in Texas so I don’t know if we will be back in this area again but if we are we will certainly want to stay here.

Absolutey amazing holiday! Perfect location, house extremely homely and comfortable. Huge garden, ideal for young children as my children were never out of it!

We only spent £40 all week as did not need to venture far . . .the estate itself offers enough for an ideal holiday if you like the countryside, walking and outdoor activity. We took our childrens pony and we were pleased we did, the hacking is fabulous and every day we walked for miles, enjoying the breathtaking scenery, wildlife (we seen deer, many birds of prey and other birds, squirrels etc). So peaceful! We also took oor mountain bikes and biked for miles along the remote country roads and through little villages.

Local towns biggar and west Linton were lovely and have good play areas for children. The people are friendly.

Deb and Sam were great hosts and could not have been more welcoming and helpful, especially given that we took our pony. Nothing was a problem.

Our dog tess came with us too and she had a great time and had a fantastic time, ideal for dog walkers.

Would recommend to anyone who enjoys the countyside and outdoors, it is like a different world. We will definitely be going back very soon!!
