Pathhead Farmhouse, nestled in the picturesque Hawick area of the Scottish Borders, offers an idyllic retreat for those seeking tranquility amidst stunning natural scenery. This charming cottage, situated on the Hoscote Estate, accommodates up to six guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms. The property is designed for comfort and relaxation, featuring an open-plan living area that encourages socializing, complete with a cozy wood-burning stove and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The farmhouse's layout includes a spacious ground floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with two additional first-floor bedrooms that share a modern ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom, all offering breathtaking views of the rolling Borders farmland. Guests can unwind in the serene environment, with ample opportunities for wildlife spotting, including butterflies and red squirrels, making it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts and families alike.
While the Hoscote Estate has limited walking paths due to livestock and conservation projects, guests are encouraged to explore alternative walking routes nearby. The local community has produced a helpful booklet, Roberton Walks, which includes maps and information on various trails, ranging from leisurely strolls to more challenging hikes. The property also features a detached garden area with seating, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh country air and beautiful vistas.
Pathhead Farmhouse is pet-friendly, welcoming up to two well-behaved dogs, provided they are kept on the ground floor and adhere to the estate's guidelines. Essential amenities such as bed linens, towels, and Wi-Fi are included, although internet speed may be slower due to the rural setting. With its blend of comfort, natural beauty, and outdoor activities, Pathhead Farmhouse serves as a perfect base for exploring the rich landscape and cultural heritage of the Scottish Borders.
