THE BOTHY at Swinton Hill - A Perfect Couples Retreat in a Peaceful Location, Swinton

Scottish Borders. Sleeps up to 2

A very pretty stone cottage set in a peaceful location with far-reaching views over farmland to the hills beyond.

Perfect couples' retreat in a super location
The perfect couples' retreat, the cottage offers well-presented, spacious accommodation in a super location at the end of a private road on the Swinton Hill Estate.

Here you can unwind and listen to the gentle sounds of nature taking in fresh country air or head out and explore the stunning Northumberland coast or the rolling Border heartlands. Alternatively for those who prefer their leisure time on two wheels, two complimentary bikes are available for guest use on request.

Inside, the sunny open-plan living space is the convivial heart of the house. On warm days, French doors let the fresh Borders air in, or simply relax mind, body and soul in front of the dancing flames of the wood burning stove for those lazy days or cosy evenings when the seasons change and the days grow shorter.

The smart kitchen is well equipped with plenty of thoughtful extras which make this a real home-from-home. The bedroom is warm and comfortable with crisp linens and pretty cottage detailing to ease you into a lovely sleep after a day in the great outdoors.

Outside the seating area is a super spot for an evening drink watching the sun set over the distant hills with little to interrupt the moment and an overall sense of peace-perfect-peace.
