Use of the shepherd's hut (and some logs for your stove) comes for free when you book Curlew Cottage, situated at Meadshaw Farm, Roberton, Hawick in the Scottish Borders. One well behaved dog is permitted. The cottage is 2 minutes up a good forest track, amidst some of the most beautiful and undiscovered countryside in the Scottish Borders. Forest Walks - Although Meadshaw is a working forest, and some of the nearby forest has been felled recently, you will find plenty of beautiful walks from your door and at nearby Craik Forest. Curlew Cottage and Shepherd's Hut is a real "get away from it all." Curlew Cottage: There is a double bedroom with double bed and doors out to a small patio. Bedroom 2 has 2 single beds. There is a shower room, utility room with washing machine and dishwasher, and a wonderfully light and airy kitchen/dining room with mezzanine above. The kitchen is well equipped with all mod cons (including remote controlled blinds for the Velux windows). It has a dining area and comfy seating area with freeview TV and internet connection. There is no mobile phone connection in the immediate area. Throughout the cottage, the natural stone floors are cosy and warm underfoot, heated by an external log burning boiler which also heats the nearby farmhouse, and provides as much hot water as you want. The Shepherd's Hut: The hut is next to the cottage, and provides a unique extra space for relaxing in front of the wood burning stove. Logs and kindling are supplied. It is simply furnished, and accessed by wooden steps. Outside: There is a paved sitting area with lovely views of the hills and the river. There is also an area in the old hay barn opposite the cottage, which can be used for boots, bikes etc if the weather is wet. There is parking outside the cottage. The owners live 15 metres away in Meadshaw Farmhouse, and are on hand to give advice if required, but are equally happy to leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet, this being one of those rare places where you will hear little or no traffic noise and see only the stars at night. Surrounding Area: Immediately from the door there are miles of waymarked tracks and paths which are perfect for walking, cycling and horse riding. The surrounding hills are also on your doorstep, and provide lovely walks to the nearby hill lochs - Broadlea and Branxholme Easter and Wester Lochs. The river below the cottage has several pebbly "beach" areas and pools where you can enjoy a paddle or wild swim in the summer months! Depending on the season, you may well be rewarded with sightings of the abundant wildlife around the cottage, from the native red squirrel, otter and barn owl, to local woodland birds such as the siskin and woodpecker. There are also osprey and gosshawk in the area, and in the Springtime, you will hear the skylark, oyster-catcher and curlew from the cottage. Livestock is kept at the farm, including rare-breed hebridean sheep, chickens and ducks. We also have 2 little dogs and a cat. Cyclists may store their bikes in one of the barns, and grazing and stabling (at an extra charge) is available for horse riders bringing their own horses. Please enquire about bringing your horse. Activities in the Area: For cyclists and walkers, Meadshaw Forest joins up with nearby 10,000 acre Craik Forest and there are miles of forest tracks to explore from your door. Further afield, more mountain biking is available at Innerliethen, Glentress (Peebles), Newcastleton and Keilder Water. Horse riding and golf are available at Ashkirk (7 miles) where there is also a pub and restaurant. Hawick, the local woollen mill town is 10 miles away. It has restaurants, supermarkets and shops, a leisure centre and a lovely cinema, cafe and heritage centre. Hawick is known for its' cashmere shops, its' tradition of rugby and the annual Common Riding Festival. For a day out, you can visit one of the beautiful Border Abbey towns, such as Jedburgh or Melrose, or take the scenic 1.5 hour drive to Edinburgh by car. The new Borders railway will get you to Edinburgh in under an hour from Galashiels. Green Tourism: At Meadshaw Farm we are working towards environmentally friendly living. All white goods at the cottage are A rated or better, heating/hot water is fuelled by local, sustainably managed woodland and the garden and farm are managed without commercial fertilisers. Provided for you: All linen/towels, heating, electricity and logs for the shepherd's hut are included. One well-behaved dog is welcome. Please note there is no dog proof enclosed area. Please keep your dog under control when enjoying the outdoors, seating/patio area. Smoking is not permitted within the cottage. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Outside House ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83260000/83251300/83251214/5a4f8f65.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Log cabin with one double with en suite shower and two twin.

The children loved playing with Tilly and Tarka, the 2 dogs and Danielle and her family were excellent hosts. One place we would recommend visiting was Born in the Borders - a micro brewery and gin distillery.

We spent 5 days there without using the car, just walking, sitting, reading, going in the river. Well equipped small cottage. Was just 2 of us but the attractive mezzanine with 2 singles looked good. We used the shepherd's hut as a semi outdoor sitting room. Overall, a lovely accommodation in a beautiful, quiet valley. Oh, and with great star gazing potential. ##### Edward B.

The beauty and serenity of the landscape, the cosiness of the immaculate cleaned house, the romantic shepherd's wagon with fireplace, the children friendly farm animals (chickens, horses, dogs, sheep) make this cottage one of the best we ever visit. The barn across the cottage is perfect for bbq-ing or enjoying a warm cup of tea, when the Scottish 'soft days' play hard on you. The kindness and friendliness of the owners, however, made it the best place we have ever enjoyed our vacation at. It felt like a true home away from home. We will absolutely visit this location again. ##### Frank B.

The facilities were all in good working order and there was an excellent range of books and games to use in the evenings. One of our highlight of the week was go walking to the nearest loch (around 1 hour walking), Danielle (the owner) let her lovely Terrier dog come with us, my two daughters enjoyed every day!!!.

I was really needing a break and wanted somewhere I could take my puppy. The cottage appealed to me as it was far enough away from the town but close enough if you wanted to go to the shops or eat out. I was not disappointed at all we had wonderful walks on our doorstep and the views and cottage were perfect. We also had the added bonus of the shepherds hut with it’s lovely wood burning stove. I spent the late afternoon chilling with a book and a glass of wine snuggled up in the hut. First class break and I will be back again, Bill and Daniele are such genuine people. If you are looking for a quiet time to chill and enjoy the outdoors this is the place to go Thank you both xxx ##### Jackie C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Friedericke W.

My son hasn't stopped talking about how much he loved the little lamb and the chickens, and will tell anyone who'll listen about his hot cocoa in the shepherd's hut by the fire. Stunning views, beautiful walks, peace and quiet, and recommended for a couples getaway and family holidays alike. Memories made for life, and we can't wait to visit again! ##### Claire W.

Beautiful hand-written note on arrival, with advise on where to walk. Surrounding forest is beautiful. Views are lovely and great to see woodpecker on the bird feeders through the window. ##### Kirstie T. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith J.

Well equipped and clean cottage. Hosts are friendly and have a great knowledge of the area. My daughter loved feeding the chickens and made friends with the dogs. Hope to be back again😍 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Course Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels-Old-Course-Hotel.h522846.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Atholl Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Atholl-Palace-Hotel.h63637.Hotel-Information) > > [Perle Oban Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Perle-Oban-Hotel-Spa.h993007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garrison](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Garrison.h24101351.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kinross-Hotels-The-Green-Hotel-Golf-Leisure-Resort.h1130671.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Uig Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portree-Hotels-Uig-Hotel.h2261957.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Hamilton.h3924670.Hotel-Information)
