About this cottage rental
Set within the peaceful grounds of The Yair in the Scottish Borders, Garden Cottage offers the perfect mix of comfort and countryside charm. Sleeping up to four guests, it overlooks a beautiful walled garden and sits close to the River Tweed. Inside, the welcoming living room features a deep sofa and two armchairs around a wood-burning stove, while the country-style kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed self-catering. A steep staircase leads to the bedrooms — one king and a flexible second bedroom that can be set up as a king or twin — and forms part of the cottage’s character, though it may not be suitable for the elderly or those with restricted mobility. The modern bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower is located downstairs.
The location is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts — enjoy tennis, fishing, and a wealth of walking and mountain biking trails right from the doorstep, including access to the Southern Upland Way. The world-class Glentress Mountain Biking Centre is nearby, and the area offers historic houses, championship golf courses, and beautiful gardens to explore. For a change of pace, hop on a nearby train and be in the centre of Edinburgh in under an hour.

We stayed at the Garden Cottage and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the gardens. Also we took full advantage of the many walking trails in the local area. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfy. We would love to come back again!

Such a gorgeous property - I wish we could have spent more time here! Check in is easy as can be. Highly recommend this for a getaway in nature. The cottage is comfortable and lovely - albeit with a few spider friends, but they are no bother. The owners left a homemade lemon loaf as well! The gardens are just stunning and I could have spent hours walking through them, not to mention the trails around the estate. Definitely hope to come back for a longer stay in the future! Thank you!

Absolutely love everything about this property! Honestly could have used the entire week just roaming around the gorgeous estate grounds . And that walled garden!?! Just a dream😍 The Fall colors were breathtaking!
Super comfy bed! Cozy kitchen and living area. Great shower! Everything you need!
Loved the lemon drizzle bread made by Hannah and Ollie was so kind to come and rescue us when we locked ourselves out.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

No complaints regarding cottage. It was absolutely lovely.
However I found the VRBO logging in processes convoluted and difficult. Didn't actionally receive any last minute information, and neither was it available to me on going looking for the information on VRBO.

The perfect place to get away from it all. The Garden Cottage is situated at the edge a beautiful garden and set within an estate which boasts forests, rivers and hills. Withdirect access to the national cycle path 1 there is lovely quiet lanes to explore some of the Border towns. There are also mountain bike trails in the woods surrounding Yair. We had a brilliant day out at the 7Stanes, Glentress, this offers a huge array of excellent mountain bike trails.
The property is beautifully finished, has excellent TV and wifi and the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for family meals.
The owners are welcoming and ensure everything is as it should be for a super family holiday.

Beautiful Garden Cottage
Beautiful Garden Cottage
Garden cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. Olly was at the cottage to meet us and explain how everything operated. The cottage has been recently renovated - looks amazing and is incredibly comfortable. The shower is spacious and powerful and the bed supremely comfortable, dressed in beautiful cotton - we slept so well at the cottage. We dined at the cottage most nights and it was a pleasure to cook in the stylish and well equipped kitchen. The garden is outstanding and it is a joy to walk in the extensive grounds. We were fortunate to enjoy some fishing and Alan is a knowledgeable and charming ghillie. We look forward to returning very soon.

Lovely cottage in magnificent setting, offering a peaceful retreat for the festive season. Well stocked kitchen, cosy rooms with wood burning stove and comfy beds to encourage lazy days. The addition of a decorated Christmas tree made it feel very homely. We look forward to returning in Spring/Summer.

Toller Urlaub über Weihnachten zum Entspannen
Es ist ein wundervolles Cottage, sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Wir haben unseren Weihnachtsurlaub sehr genossen. Vielen Dank an Olly für den schönen Baum. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Man kann direkt vom Haus tolle Wanderungen zum Tweed oder über die Weiden unternehmen. Es ist wunderbar ruhig und abgelegen. Ich habe lange nicht mehr so gut geschlafen wie hier. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet und es hat uns nichts gefehlt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr ruhig, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, Betten die ihresgleichen suchen, toll ausgestattete Küche, ein eigener Walled Garden. Wie gesagt, für uns war´s perfekt. Die Nähe zu Melrose, Peebles und Galashiels kommen noch on top drauf. Der Fluß Tweed ein Traum. Gerne wieder. Vielen Dank Oliver
