Magical place
Lovely spacious well-heated house in beautiful countryside. We had a week of snowy weather which was heavenly. Edward, the owner was extremely helpful. He towed out some cars which got stuck in the car park by the house, provided lots of logs, replaced the washing machine which had problems and was generally a great help. This is a house for people who like old books and furnishings...don't go there if you want modern posh.

Excellent property in an excellent location with a very French chateau feel
We had an amazing time in this beautiful old 18th century property - it felt very much like a French chateau with its faded elegance, charm and homely living. The house is spacious and set in beautiful surroundings with wild deer and horses roaming in the fields and a myriad of birds roosting and populating the skies. The fireplace was cosy, the outside space and hot tub inviting and the large comfortable sofas were great for curling up in and reading or watching TV. There is also a grand piano which we made full use of . Edward was a perfect host and made us feel at ease and right at home straight from the start ! We also had use of a kayak and boat on the nearby loch and the walk around the loch is very pretty. There are some great towns to explore nearby such as Kelso, Jedburgh, Alnwick and Berwick upon Tweed. We would certainly stay here again and would highly recommend it!

We had a fantastic stay at Lochside garden house. The house is needing some TLC but it has lots of character, plenty of space and everything we needed for a large group for a long weekend. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. It’s a very tranquil setting and the grounds were beautiful. The kids loves feeding the horses and pigs, and playing on the trampoline and swing. The adults loved the hot tub. Some nice walks around the farm. Would definitely book again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A large group of us had a delightful stay at the Garden House. The kitchen was perfect for making and sharing large family meals. We loved the hot tub and the comfortable living room/study which was perfect for games. The host recommended some lovely walks, and the views we're spectacular. We'll definitely be visiting again!

Ok, here goes.
Ok, here goes. We loved the place! However, it's in much need of some updating, or rather a good dusting! It really wouldn't take much to improve this house, just for the comfort of its guests. We learnt to live with the spiders & cobwebs (luckily we stayed over Halloween so they added to the atmosphere) The sofas are just...well...not comfortable. We had my 90yr old grandmother and she couldn't find any comfort on them, second hand would suffice but these are appalling!!! Didn't bother the younger ones as we sat round the lovely big table in the kitchen. Fix the "hole in the wall" in the "library "(how you get a towel to match the colour of the paint is amazing!) I never know how much to believe about reviews so am always open minded but wished I had listened to the towel advice! DO take your own, the towels provided are plentiful but like drying yourself on sandpaper! Bedding etc was clean. There were 10 of us in our party and during our stay only 1 shower worked so not ideal. However, Always plenty of hot water & the house was always warm. Going out on the loch in the boat was amazing & such a good experience for the kids. No information about the surrounding area at the house which is also a shame as this is always helpful for guests. We didn't find the letter about the pigs until the last day either! Which was a great shame. Take all your leftovers to them! Go to Kelso races if possible, a great day out! Cannot fault the area, such a beautiful part of the country. Overall we loved the feel of the house but it does make you feel sad for it.

Wonderful Birthday Booking
We had a fabulous stay at the property and spent many evenings in the hot tub. We also took the boat out on the loch which the kids just loved.

The house was a great size for our group of 11 people.
The house was a great size for our group of 11 people. It does need some TLC and a good deep clean but it was one of the cheaper places we found when looking. A very beautiful location, nice and quiet and the enclosed garden was perfect for the dogs. Some of our group loved the house and some didn't. We arranged in advance for a tesco food order to be delivered which worked well but it only takes 10 minutes to get to a Sainsburys and Lidl. One of our elderly members found the house very dark to get around in. TV's only in one room but that didn't bother us, internet also only works in the same room. Snooker table a hit with the male members of the group. The piano was used regularly even though none of us could really play. Some of our group would go back again and some would not.
