" Beautiful location and brilliant house. We were a large family group aged 7-89 and everyone had a fabulous time. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Kids loved the treehouse and snooker table, everyone loved the daily visits from pigs and peahens with little chicks - which we all miss!! Didn't want to leave and would definitely return. The Border Hotel pub in Kirk Yetholm serves delicious food and is well worth a visit. "

" This is a brilliant cottage for a family - or families. The top garden is fenced off to let the kids run about. There's a great play house and rope bridge over the fence for older kids. We had visits from peacocks, hens, pigs and piglets. "

" A fabulous house, very friendly owner and lots to do and see. The best we have been too. Would definitely go again. "

" Superb accommodation. The kids loved the treehouse and the adults loved the hot tub. Owner could not have been more helpful. "

" Lochside Garden house is a wonderful holiday house, everything needed is there and the hot tub is fantastic, nothing like lying looking at the stars. "

" This is a wonderful magical location for large families with young(ish) children. It felt like living in the worlds of Enid Blyton and CS Lewis rolled into one. The house is timeless and the gardens are enchanting. There are fishing and pony rides thrown in and the host is charming and will do whatever is needed to meet your requirements. "

We used and enjoyed all the facilities in the very spacious accommodation our group particularly appreciating the grand piano the log fires (and real working shutters to keep us warm in the evening) the hot tub under the stars the full size snooker table and the rowing boat on the loch.

There is plenty to do for all the family -snooker badminton and a tree house to die for complete with rope swing fishing bird watching and lets not forget the grand piano and hot- tub!
