Kennels Cottage - Countryside charm at The Yair in The Scottish Borders

Kennels Cottage is located on picturesque and private Yair Estate, which is situated on the banks of the River Tweed in the heart of the Scottish Borders, approximately 35 miles south of Edinburgh. The Yair is a perfect base from which to explore everything that this part of Scotland has to offer.

The property is all on one level and is situated within the Stable block on the estate. The front door opens out onto large decked area with a charming, private and enclosed garden beyond. It is here that the hot tub is situated.

The property comprises of a kitchen, sitting room with dining area, two bedrooms (one has a king size bed and the other can either be configured as a twin or a double), a bathroom (with shower over bath) and a utility cupboard.

The property has everything you might expect as part of a high end holiday let including a Smart TV (Netflix, iplayer, Amazon Prime etc), wireless internet, iron and ironing board, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher and a very effective wood burner. All linens are provided along with dishwasher tablets, washing power and all the logs you may need.

The property is let as a whole and guests will also have access to a Tennis Court (shared with guests staying in the other properties on the estate). The property also comes with a permit to fish for trout on the Tweed (April though too mid September) and guests will have access to the private stretch of water at The Yair. Salmon Fishing may be available, at additional cost, during the months of August through to November.
