The Threshing Mill Cottage

Nestled in a charming rural setting with the distinctive three peaks of the Eildon Hills on the horizon and the gently flowing Mill stream close by, The Threshing Mill Cottage is an ideal retreat for families and groups looking to relax and unwind in the Scottish Borders.

Once two individual cottages – The Wheel House and The Mill House – now seamlessly connected by an inner linking door, the property has been transformed into a spacious and thoughtfully designed single cottage, offering ample space for socialising and quiet relaxation alike.

On the ground floor are two generously sized living rooms, both stylishly decorated in warm tones accented by bright, bold fabrics and throws. One of the two living rooms benefits from large French doors opening directly onto the garden, giving you easy access to enjoy the large garden throughout the seasons.

The cottage features two well-equipped kitchens, offering flexibility for larger groups, though the bright and spacious main kitchen has a large farmhouse table, making it the hub for cooking, dining and planning the next day’s adventures.

Moving upstairs, you’ll find four beautifully presented bedrooms, two in each side of the cottage. Each bedroom boasts its own en-suite bathroom, and all are decorated in a soft, soothing style. On one side, there’s a bedroom with a king size bed as well as a twin room, while the other side of the house features another king size bedroom plus a bedroom with zip-and-link beds, providing multiple options for a variety of family or group configurations.

Outside, you’ll find the pretty, sheltered lawned gardens surrounded by colourful shrubs and dappled light from the bordering woodland. In the spring, bluebells and daffodils abound, while there are plenty of spots for soaking up the sun in the summer. Tucked away from the main garden, there are also some more secluded areas, perfect for enjoying the tranquillity while listening to birdsong and the babble of the nearby stream.

Families will also appreciate the separate games room, which is equipped with table tennis, table football and a Nintendo Wii, along with a selection of board games and books, ensuring there’s plenty to keep children – and adults – of all ages entertained, whatever the weather.
