Property code: 91437

Located in the heart of the picture-postcard village of Denholm and offers excellent local amenities including quality eateries, friendly local inns, butchers and a general store. From your doorstep, you can explore activities such as cycling, trout fishing and horse riding and even walk one of Scotland’s nearby great trails; The Cross Borders Drove Road.

The Kielder Forest (24 miles) is perfect for long strolls with a picnic in the sunshine. For keen golfers, there are local golf clubs in Jedburgh (6 miles) and Minto (2 miles). For a day out Kelso horse races (17 miles), and slightly further afield Edinburgh (50 miles).

Step inside this charming single-level cottage into the vestibule where you will be greeted with a warm and inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining space. After a long day out light up the wood burner and put your feet up on the comfortable sofas and snuggle up with your loved one with a good movie on the Smart TV. There is also a well-appointed kitchen area where you can rustle up a dinner which you can savour at the dining table. You will also find a beautiful chair positioned by the window; perfect for relaxing and reading your favourite book. When you are ready to retire you will find a double bedroom with beautiful interiors and bed linens with a chest of draws and plenty of hanging space. Finally completing the accommodation is the stylish shower room with a shower and WC.

The cottage was exceptional. The owners (Klara) had thought of everything that you could've wanted for a short break. Water bottles for a days walking, to individual thermos flask. Tastefully decorated and clean, we had a fabulous few days, and all within easy access to various activities. I would highly recommend the old post office. Thank you.

The cottage was lovely and in a great location, Denholm was a very friendly little town. The only downside was the cooker hob which did not operate correctly; each time the hob was turned on it carried out a self calibration showing a "AF10" fault, this would take anything up to 30 mins before we were able to use it, on our last day we were not ablRead moree to use it at all. Parking was a problem with a large white van taking up 2 spaces one of which was in front of The Old Post Office. Hide
