PATHHEAD FARMHOUSE, Hoscote Estate

Tucked away amidst glorious scenery in a completely private setting, Pathhead Farmhouse has all the right ingredients for a peaceful, rural getaway.

Amidst glorious scenery in a completely private setting
Located on the superb Hoscote Estate in the southern uplands, this is the perfect retreat to put a busy week behind you and spend some quality time with family and friends in an area that offers plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities, from butterflies to red squirrels.

The cottage is set in a wonderfully tranquil area where you can unwind and soak up the fresh country air. The accommodation sits on two floors with a light open plan living area which is just perfect for relaxed socialising in front of the wood burning stove after a busy day exploring the stunning Scottish Borders.

Beautifully presented, the property has been carefully designed to ensure maximum guest comfort sleeping up to six guests in three bedrooms which all benefit from outstanding views across open countryside. With sumptuous beds and crisp fresh linens, the cottage benefits from a large ground floor bedroom with an en suite bathroom and two first floor bedrooms with a modern shared ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom suite.

The property sits in an elevated position high on the Hoscote Estate with stunning views of the surrounding hills. Whilst there is limited walking on the Estate due to livestock, conservation projects and gamebirds, guests can be advised of alternative walks very close by and beautiful areas to explore on foot within easy reach from the Farmhouse itself.

Roberton Walks, a booklet produced by the local community group, provides information and maps of many local walks, from easy strolls to longer hikes. The booklet is available in the property.
