This spacious accommodation, which sleeps up to nine guests across five bedrooms, is ideally positioned between Edinburgh and Newcastle airports, making it a perfect getaway for family and friends. The house boasts a relaxed atmosphere, with ample space for socializing and enjoying the great outdoors. An elevated, south-facing decked area welcomes visitors upon arrival, providing a stunning vantage point for summer drinks and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills.
The ground floor of Alnwood features a generous hallway that leads to a comfortable sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen/diner, a utility room, a wet room, and the fifth bedroom. The sitting room is designed for relaxation, illuminated by natural light from windows on three sides and sliding patio doors. A log stove adds warmth and a homely ambiance, with logs, kindling, and firelighters provided for guests. The kitchen is perfect for social gatherings, featuring marble work surfaces and a central island that exudes a rustic farmhouse charm. Bedroom 5 is equipped with two single beds and is conveniently located next to a bespoke wet room, which is suitable for those with limited mobility, though it lacks grab rails.
Ascending the oak staircase to the first floor, guests will find four additional bedrooms, all offering stunning views of the local farm and woodland, as well as a family bathroom. Alnwood is an ideal retreat for nature lovers, surrounded by a rich diversity of wildlife, including badgers, roe deer, and various nesting birds. A wildlife pond adds to the natural beauty, supporting a range of amphibians and insects. The area is also known for its clear night skies, offering spectacular stargazing opportunities due to limited light pollution. Guests have full access to the house, garden, and woodland, with safety measures in place around the pond area.
Alnwood is equipped with family-friendly facilities, including a travel cot and high chair, although guests need to provide their own bedding for the cot. The property is pet-friendly, allowing up to two small, well-behaved dogs for a fee. Smoking is not permitted, and the property does not accommodate stag or hen parties. While Wi-Fi can be slow due to the rural location, essential amenities such as bath sheets, hand towels, and hair dryers are provided. Ample parking is available at the front of the house. Nearby attractions include cultural highlights like the Heart of Hawick, Hawick Museum & Scott Art Gallery, and family-friendly activities at Jedforest Deer & Farm Park, making Alnwood a perfect base for exploring the Scottish Borders.
