About this property
Cottage in peaceful Borders village close to Kelso with nearby walking routes
Old Dairy Cottage is a one bedroom holiday let situated in the picturesque conservation village of Morebattle. Suitable for couples and small family groups, this inviting cottage makes a great destination for a relaxing break in the beautiful Borders countryside.
Set in a tranquil traditional village with a backdrop of the rolling Cheviot foothills, the cottage provides comfortable self-catering accommodation for up to 3 adults. Old Dairy Cottage is one of two adjoining holiday apartments which were converted from original outbuildings of a former dairy farm.
The upstairs space features an en suite bedroom with double and single beds. Downstairs is a bright, spacious sitting room with dining area, a well equipped kitchen and a shower room. A patio with views of the surrounding hills is easily accessed from the sitting room. Bedding for a sofa bed is provided upon request.
Visitors to Morebattle can expect an idyllic country setting and village amenities, while also being within easy reach of the historic market towns of Kelso and Jedburgh. The village is directly on the St. Cuthbert's Way walking route and is well located as a base for cycling, hillwalking or exploring the heritage sites and scenic attractions of the Borders and Northumberland.
The cottage is only steps away from the village inn, the Templehall Hotel. *** Please note - as of mid March 2025, the pub is temporarily closed but due to reopen this spring following a successful community purchase. *** A well stocked community run village shop is just up the street, open mornings and weekday afternoons. The large community field behind the cottage is a safe open space for dogs and their owners to enjoy.
Free wi-fi is accessible throughout. Private car parking is provided to the rear of the property. Dogs are welcome subject to a small surcharge.
