Perfect spot for a weekend with family

We absolutely loved our stay at the house. Everything was perfect for a weekend with our family coming together. The house itself is beautiful and historically interesting, we loved researching it's past! Beds were very comfy and all the rooms were so spacious. It was brilliant to have the high chairs, cot and baby bath as we were travelling with our 18 month old. Made it so much easier for us. We particularly loved the grand dining room for eating as a family. The location was lovely, we enjoyed the walk around the grounds and also the short walk to Eyemouth. There were lots of lambs in the surrounding land which made the kids very happy! Fab trip, thank you!

Absolutely beautiful house and location

This is a truly beautiful property in acres of land. Everything was clean upon check-in and the rooms were huge. There was everything we needed. Lovely walks in the area and close to the beach too. Being woken up by the cows was a different experience! We loved being surrounded by the animals in the fields. We would highly recommend this property. The intriguing history of the house was a bonus! Thank you Cat.

Why they chose this property

Old Linthill has been in the Home family since it was built in the 18th century. In the past few years it has had a loving and extensive makeover, with new bathrooms installed, fresh paintwork, new central heating system and new beds, soft furnishings and appliances. We like to think that we have retained all of the character of the house while adding modern comforts to make your stay truly memorable.

It is located in 28 aces of woodland and parkland with streams running through, but while still being within walking distance of the fishing village of Eyemouth with its restaurants, bars, museum and leisure facilities.

What makes this property unique

Privacy of a 28-acre estate with the convenience of a town within walking distance along a pavement that runs to the end of the drive.

Large enough for family holidays, group holidays and reunions.

A unique rural location with beautiful walks all around.

Close to beaches and villages.

A perfect location for exploring the Scottish Borders, North Northumberland and East Lothian while being within convenient driving distance or train journey from Edinburgh.
