Our stay was in stunning setting. Recommend getting there before dark as it is set back but then you are sitting in a postcard. We had a delicious lemon loaf and well equipped kitchen and home over the holidays. Thank you Hilary!

Old Kirkstead is a really nice spot which was enjoyed by kids and parents alike. We'd never been to this part of Scotland before but we'll be back for longer in the summer having only had three nights this time round. Hilary (the host) couldn't have been more helpful after we managed to completely mess up the booking too!

It's easy to forget what peace and tranquillity is living near a large city but after a full day here you really begin to feel unwound. The property was very clean, escpecially the kitchen and bedding. The hosts just left us to it which we also appreciated. I would echo what a few other guests have mentioned about the 0.5 mile track to the property however. I would recommend a vehicle with at least "normal" ground clearance. A family hatchback / saloon can make it without grounding if driven slowly but a sports car would struggle. The sheep really entertained us also! Thank you.

The Old Kirkstead was the perfect getaway with friends. The house had everything we needed & was in the perfect location.

We had a lovely very peaceful stay at Kirkstead farm. We didn't meet a soul near by our entire stay. The nearest supermarket/co op was half hour drive away!
Was warmed by the lovely gesture of a fresh cake on arrival and wine and milk in the fridge too. the property was very clean and the grounds are superb. the stream just by the house was a a real perk and the sheep and stunning surrounding scenery was just beautiful. though we had a mostly rainy stay, we were grateful for the dry days at the end of the week and had a great time. Hilary, our host answered any quires we had and was lovely knowing she was just down the road from our house.

Old kirkstead was perfect for a friends and family break away from busy lives ! If you want to get away from everything and have gorgeous views and sheep in the garden this is the place for you. We loved the peace and quiet and no wifi we played games and wandered outside.One thing to bear in mind though is the track to the cottage is very rough and has pot holes so don’t go in a fancy car that is low as you’ll end up with no underneath!!Overall the cottage was well equipped apart from a lack of space to hang clothes in downstairs bedrooms but we loved having a washer and dryer and the cake and wine was a lovely treat for our arrival. Thank you so much

Viel Natur. Anreise wegen des unbefestigtem Weg erlebnisreich, auch wegen der Schafe, aber sehr schön. Das Haus liegt idyllisch im Tal am Bach.

The property was nice and clean enough to sleep 8 peoples and more. Very comfortable and nothing lacking, the host has provided everything needed. Lovely communal areas and outside space. We've enjoyed the seen and the walk to St Mary's Loch. Would recommend and go again :)

Great location with just sheep for neighbours.
The property is accessed by a dirt track around half a mile long we had no problems just slow and steady in the car.
We had a few meals out in Peebles which is around 35 mins away by car.
If you are tired of hill walking you can rent a kayak or paddle board at St Mary’s lock just ten mins drive away.
I had read a number of reviews regarding phone signal my wife and daughter both got 3 /4 G on the EE network at the property I’m on Vodafone and didn’t get a signal until I stood outside but again managed to get 3G Vodafone was problematic though.
Great location, fantastic house a great time had by all.

Ein sehr idyllischer Ort mit einem zauberhaften kleinen Cottage umgeben von Schafen.
Gemütlich und modern eingerichtet hatten wir eine wunderschöne Zeit.
Der Kontakt zu Hilary war super und über den Kuchen und den Wein zur Anreise haben wir uns gefreut. Vielen lieben Dank.

Wir haben die Ruhe in der unberührten Natur sehr genossen! Leider zeigte sich die Sonne nur während ein paar Stunden, umso mehr Zeit blieb zum Lesen, Schlafen und das Hüttenleben geniessen.

Beautiful old cottage that has been perfectly retrofitted for comfort without ruining the ambiance. Nice large public areas, very well equipped kitchen, pleasant bedrooms… The setting is absolutely gorgeous, albeit with a bumpy road in for a short distance. Wonderful hiking all around. I would love to come back!

Completely remote and surrounded by wildlife, this cottage exceeded our expectations. We recommend: a walk around St Mary's loch from the cottage stopping at the Glen Cafe for cake, eat out at home from the Gordon Arms, and a visit to one of the many historic houses and gardens nearby. We were surprised to find so much to do, that we couldn't fit it all in one week. Our two dogs loved the holiday as well.

Everything lived up to the description and our hopes. The house is very well proportioned and equipped, and utterly peaceful. We were seven people including two children,and there was something for everyone in and around the house, and in the area.
The hosts cannot take the credit for the fantastic weather, but the natural entertainment in the form of sheep and lambs and lambing a few yards from our window was much appreciated, as was the friendly shepherd doing his rounds.
Do not be daunted by the very bumpy track in to the cottage - just go slow!
Make sure to bring what you need of food - it's a long way to the shops (which is part of what makes it so relaxing).
Highly recommended!
