Charming Countryside Hideaway in Scotland – Perfect for Readers & Dreamers

A Peaceful Literary Retreat in the Scottish Borders

Step back in time at The Scullery, once the servants’ wing and working scullery of an 1850 Victorian farmhouse, now thoughtfully restored into a boutique one-bedroom hideaway. Nestled in the tranquil Yarrow Valley, it’s a haven for readers, dreamers, and anyone seeking peace, stillness, and the slow way of life.

With its cosy sitting room, serene king-size bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, and private courtyard garden beside the gentle Ladhope Burn, The Scullery blends heritage charm with modern comfort. It’s a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and savour unhurried days.

Set in a landscape that inspired Sir Walter Scott, James Hogg, and the old Border ballads, The Scullery is perfectly placed for exploring the Scottish Borders. And with the Borders Railway linking nearby Tweedbank to Edinburgh in under an hour, it makes an inspiring countryside base for both city visits and rural adventures
