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 PLUS 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 7, 2 Bathrooms

This is the main farmhouse plus an annexe. The shepherd's croft can be accessed from the main farmhouse, providing an extra, bright and very large double bedroom with en-suite shower-room/toilet on the ground floor. The annexe is not self contained and is rented out only with the farmhouse, allowing the property to accommodate 6 +1 (using the futon in the study area).

Comfortable cottage holiday in the Borders

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We were delighted to bring in the New Year (quietly) in this very comfortable rural "get-away". We have returned here on several occasions during recent years. The farmhouse is as comfortable and the owners as welcoming as ever. This was the first time we had also used the extra downstairs bedroom, with en suite toilet and shower, and the extra space was much appreciated. We have already booked our next visit!

Fabulous Farmhouse in great Location

5 of 5
Submitted: January 5, 2012 Stayed: December 2011
We were a group of 7 staying at the Kirkhouse Farmhouse over New Year and would highly recommend visiting this lovely farmhouse!
The owners Deberah and Sam were extremely helpful from our initial booking enquiries right through to our stay, providing us with lots of information regarding local ammenities and walks which allowed us to make the most of our stay!
The Farmhouse itself is very spacious and extremely well maintained, with everything you would be looking for in a rental property such as dvd player, dishwasher etc. The location is perfect and we particularly enjoyed going for walks and taking in the magnificant scenery on the farmhouse's doorstep.
It was the perfect way to bring in 2012!
