4 Bed in Hawick (oc-95765)

An impressive wing of a medieval, fairy-tale castle, this turreted Scottish holiday sleeps eight guests, with four-bedrooms encompassing quirky, historic features, as well as a stylish finish and luxurious touches. Situated at Branxholme, 3 miles from Hawick, in the heart of the Scottish borders, the magical haven includes a mature garden, with a private hot tub and games room. Guests also have access to some lovely woodland walks in the wider grounds. Head out on foot to explore picturesque Teviotdale, and make the most of the discounted, on-site facilities such as the castle’s spa and coffee shop. Visit beautiful Wilton Lodge Park, 2.5 miles away, or sample a wee dram in The Borders Distillery, 3.5 miles away, in Hawick. Plan trips to the beautiful Kielder Forest and scenic Kielderhead National Nature Reserve, 25 miles away.


Make your way into this spell-binding holiday cottage and find yourselves in the welcoming hall. Unlace your walking boots and hang your outerwear before moving on into the airy, inviting lounge/kitchen/diner. Fire up the wood burner in here after autumn and winter walks, then settle back to play some games or watch the Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen area includes everything you will need to help you feast like royalty on the delicious, local produce you have sourced in Hawick during your stay, while the dining space features a good-sized table. Spread out into the snug to enjoy a little quiet time or head through to the games room, with its handsome, exposed stone walls that date back to the 1100s, to challenge each other to pool or darts. A utility room and a separate WC are also down here. Make your way up to the first floor via either of the two staircases. One of these is a set of stone spiral steps that winds its way up inside one of the quirky castle’s turrets. Your lovely bedrooms are all on the first floor. These include three doubles and one king-size, all with Smart TVs so you can treat yourselves to lazy mornings in bed. There is also a gorgeous bathroom, with a roll-top bath and a family shower room at this level.


Lavish yourself with luxury by spending sunny days out in your private garden. Bubble in the hot tub, grill fresh Scottish salmon on the BBQ and open a chilled bottle of fizz in the summer house. Take a leisurely stroll through the estate’s beautiful gardens and woodland. For some deep relaxation guests can also pay to use the castle’s very own luxury spa, which includes treatments, a steam room and a relaxation space (please note this must be pre booked directly with the owner prior to your stay). There is private, off-road parking here for four cars.
