Stable Yard Cottage was originally built as part of the accommodation of an old coaching inn, now called Castletoun House. The cottage has been sympathetically restored and furnished in a pleasing mix of contemporary and period styles which makes it warm, homely and spacious. In particular the upstairs seems more like a house than a cottage, as there is masses of room with both a big bathroom and an excellent shower room. Downstairs in the well equipped modern kitchen you can try your hand at the two oven Aga or fall back on the combi oven/microwave - either will produce great results. The living room is perfect for all the family to gather in, to enjoy the evening warmth of the wood burning stove, watch the television or browse the internet using the free WiFi.

The cottage is in Greenlaw village, the Scottish Borders, and has charming southerly country views from every room across Blackadder River to Greenlaw Mill Farm and beyond to Catmoss Hill. It is within a minute's stroll of the centre of the village and yet is as quiet and rural as a country cottage. In front is a small enclosed private garden, a sheltered sun trap with furniture for an impromtu alfresco meal and guests are also welcome to relax in the larger adjacent grounds of Castletoun House.

Inside you will find a good selection of books and games, a barbecue and picnic set. More modern entertainments include a large flat screen TV with freeview, DVD, free Wi-Fi access and a CD/tuner.

Please note we ask all guests not to smoke in the cottage.
