2 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.

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. Number 2 Falside Cottages is the middle one.
