This is ideal holiday accommodation for anyone who loves the peace and tranquillity of lush green Scottish hills and valleys. Located very close to the Dere Street and St Cuthbert’s Way, our holiday home is a hill walker’s paradise: just put your boots on and step out of the door. There are trails for mountain biking; Roman ruins for exploring; rivers for fishing; nature for enjoying and; wide open spaces for getting away from it all; not to mention the historic Border Abbey towns of Kelso and Jedburgh within 10 miles, each with numerous attractions.

The Roxburghe and The Hirsel both within easy reach of Glebe House; as well as all numerous smaller courses to be found by every Scottish Borders town and village.
