Nether Whitlaw Cottage is a recently refurbished house on a secluded and pleasant site, 200 yards from the farmhouse and steading with extensive views to the Cheviot and Eildon Hills. It has been comprehensively modernised and extended and sits in a large garden. The farm is in the middle of an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', one of the first to be designated in Scotland. It is an ideal base for hill walking, fishing, golf and horseriding, and for visiting the four Border abbeys and nine stately homes, and a great number of museums and archaeological sites are within easy reach. Broadband connection.
For the naturalist there are three small marshes on the farm of considerable botanical and entomological interest which are SSSI Nature Reserves.
Fishing is available on the Rivers Tweed, Ettrick and Yarrow, and on nearby Lindean Reservoir.
