Located in the picturesque town of Hawick within the Scottish Borders, Westcote Glamping's Straw Trailer offers a unique accommodation experience for families and groups of friends. This charming unit, which sleeps up to six guests, is designed from an upcycled rusty bail trailer and features two double beds and two single beds. The interior is thoughtfully equipped with essential amenities, including a toilet, shower, full kitchen, sofa, table, and a cozy wood burner, ensuring a comfortable stay for all visitors.
Guests can enjoy a delightful digital detox with both internal and external amenities that enhance their stay.

For an additional cost, visitors can indulge in one of four wood-burning hot tubs, available for exclusive use from 5 PM until midnight. The hot tubs vary in size and pricing, accommodating different group sizes and preferences, and must be pre-booked to guarantee availability.
Westcote Glamping is pet-friendly, allowing up to three dogs for a small fee, making it an ideal getaway for animal lovers. However, guests are reminded to keep noise levels down after 11 PM to ensure a peaceful environment for everyone.
