The Experience
Love and care have been lavished on this bolthole with plenty of attention given to the little details: homemade bread and other breakfast goodies, games, cookery books, an iPod full of tunes. Cook a delicious meal in the neat kitchen, throw some logs on the fire, and take a long soak in the bedroom roll top tub.
You’re in a small, thriving village with a community shop and a twice-weekly pop up café in the village hall – perfect for a slice of homemade cake after a long ramble. The walking all around is fantastic: hop on the Pennine Way; hike the craggy hillsides, forests and heather-strewn fields of St Cuthbert’s Way and the Cheviots that pass through Northumberland National Park; visit the market town of Kelso on the banks of the river Tweed.
With your own entrance, up a small lane, you’ll feel nicely private. Sip your coffee in the outdoor seating spot to plan your day: perhaps a trip to Holy Island then back for a pint in one of two pubs.

The Hayloft ticks all our boxes. It has a good location in the Scottish Borders. The conversion is well designed and has been done to a high standard. The cottage is clean, dry, warm and well equipped. The accommodation is lovely and just right for the two of us. The owners are friendly and professional. The welcome pack - with home-made bread - is a real treat. In the cottage, there are details of walks in the surrounding countryside. There are good local amenities. There is a supermarket and other shops in Kelso and Melrose. This was a repeat visit – and I am sure we will be back.

What a beautiful place to stay. Absolutely everything was catered for and we didn't want for anything. The attention to detail was superb and lots of little touches made it very homely and comfortable. The renovation of the hayloft was first class and it was quality through and through. I have no hesitation in recommending the Hayloft as a place to stay and can honestly say people would not be disappointed. Thanks to Jane and Steve for creating this little gem.

Location
The neighbourhood
The village is peaceful and has a real sense of community, you can nip to the pub for a drink or the shop for supplies without getting in the car. You're just over the border from Northumberland National Park (40-minutes on foot to reach it), home to the stunning Cheviots hill range, clear rivers, endless forests and some of the finest dark skies in Europe. You've easy access to the Pennine Way, St Cuthbert's Way, and the coast is under an hour.
Local points of interest from Steve & Jane Mitchell
- Head out on St Cuthbert's Way through the village and up to the National Park - it weaves through forest, meadows, over hills to the little town of Wooler, then over to Lindisfarne. Start in Melrose and be with us at the end of the 2nd day.
- Kelso is a sweet little market town, about a 15-minute drive (or bus ride) away, for cafés, delis, independents, bakeries, pubs, lovely shops and the beautiful Tweed River meandering through. Watch the world go by with a homemade gelato on the square...
- Bamburgh is a pretty little village on the coast, set around the cricket green, and famous for the magnificent castle - only a 50-min drive away. Lindisfarne is also a must-see on Holy Island - the walled Gertrude Jekyll garden is wonderful.
- For a sandy day out head to Coldingham, about 50 mins by car - a beautiful little sandy bay on the east coast. Or a little further north and you'll reach Edinburgh - there's a brilliant antiques place at Drum Farm just south of the city.
- Yetholm is home to 2 pubs - The Border (in Kirk Yetholm) and The Plough (opposite), each with a sunny terrace looking out onto the village greens. Lovely for a crisp local ale after striding through the hills.
- Floors Castle in Kelso - the largest inhabited house in Scotland - is a gorgeous day out. Wander around their walled gardens, through the woodlands, hop on the cycle trail. Or visit the delightful the Monteviot House & Gardens, a 25-min drive away.

Introducing
Steve & Jane Mitchell
In 2021, after their three daughters had flown the nest, Steve and Jane moved from Shropshire to the Borders. They happened upon Kelso as part of their search and fell in love with the area. Their home, Swan House, was a hotel until the 80s and The Hayloft was originally a stables. They've worked hard restoring the place: sourcing handmade tiles, filling it with art, hand sewing cushions and more.
I was instantly thrilled when I arrived. A cozy, luxuriously modern cottage with l-o-v-e-l-y little touches throughout. And the perfect oasis to unwind at the end of the day, the loft was heavenly with its roll top bath. The impressive Playlist put together by Steve on the iPod, was all I needed to recharge. The surrounding foothills and Cheviots beyond are stunning! Walks are fabulous wherever you choose. Outdoor seating.... a great little spot too. One week in the Scottish Borders just left me wishing for more. You will absolutely love Steve & Jane.
