Roughley Cottage, nestled in the picturesque village of Newcastleton in the Scottish Borders, offers a charming retreat for up to six guests, featuring three bedrooms in a traditional Victorian shepherd’s cottage. Positioned at over 800 feet above sea level, the cottage boasts stunning views of the surrounding moorland, hills, and valleys, creating a serene atmosphere for visitors seeking tranquility in nature. The cottage is equipped with modern amenities, including gas central heating, an open fire, and essential kitchen appliances such as a gas oven, grill, and fridge. For families, a travel cot and highchair are available, and pets are welcomed, making it an ideal spot for those traveling with well-behaved dogs.
Despite its idyllic setting, guests should be aware of certain limitations at Roughley Cottage. There is no WiFi available, and mobile phone coverage is often limited due to the cottage's remote location. Additionally, children must be supervised at all times because of the rugged terrain and the proximity of a ravine. Winter access can be challenging, and guests are advised to keep dogs under control due to the adjoining farmland. The property also offers outdoor amenities such as gardens, a boathouse, canoes, and life vests, but users of the canoes do so at their own risk.
Newcastleton, also known as Copshaw Holm, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1793 by the Duke of Buccleuch. Initially established as a center for the weaving trade, the village evolved to accommodate various trades, bolstered by the arrival of the railway in the late 1800s. The area is steeped in history, having been a site of conflict since Roman times, and is part of the storied Debatable Lands. Today, visitors can explore the nearby Hermitage Castle, a historical site linked to Mary Queen of Scots, and enjoy the village's charming atmosphere that remains largely unchanged over the years.
The surrounding region, Northumberland, is renowned for its diverse landscapes, including sandy beaches, fishing villages, and historic landmarks like Hadrian’s Wall. Newcastleton serves as an excellent base for outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as mountain biking on the 7stanes trails, fishing, wildlife watching, and hiking. The village's outdoor adventure center further enhances its appeal, making it a vibrant holiday destination suitable for families and those looking to engage with nature. With a blend of historical intrigue and natural beauty, Roughley Cottage and its surroundings promise an unforgettable getaway.
