Falside Cottages is a most attractive, traditional mid-terraced cottage
in an idyllic rural location yet only a few minutes drive from Jedburgh.
It offers very well presented, thoughtfully modernised and surprisingly
spacious accommodation decorated in pleasant neutral tones throughout
successfully combining a traditional feel with a popular and contemporary
style, and enjoying stunning views towards the Scotland/England Border
to the south.
LOCATION
The town of Jedburgh, some 5 miles away, is justifiably known as the 'Jewel
of the Borders' and has a variety of shops, restaurants, a swimming pool,
fitness centre, Community & Arts Centre, primary and secondary schools.
The historical Royal Burgh of Jedburgh lies ten miles north of the border
with England. The Red Stone Abbey on the banks of the Jed Water was founded
in 1138 and the Visitor Centre portrays the Abbey's turbulent past. The
town has connections with Mary Queen of Scots who visited in 1556. Jedburgh
is an attractive setting with riverside walks and colourful renovated
buildings in the Market Place and Canongate.
DIRECTIONS
Travelling south from Jedburgh on the A68 continue for approximately five
miles taking a right hand turn signposted for Mervinslaw and the Deer
Park. Continue along this road for two and a half miles, taking a left
hand turn into Falside. The first turning on the right, down the track,
is a private driveway (adjacent lies an oval plaque marked '3 FALSIDE
COTTAGES'). Continue past this turning along the driveway taking the next
right hand turning where the green painted timber fencing will be seen.
