About this property
Craik Forestry Cottage
We love the peace, quiet, rural location and scenery surrounding this superb escape. A real retreat away from the busy everyday lives we all lead. Ideal for dog walkers and hikers alike!. Ground Floor:
Bedroom 3: Single (3ft) Bed. Oil central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and superfast Wi-Fi included. Initial logs for wood burner included. Stairgate. Welcome pack. . Enclosed garden to front and rear. On road parking. No smoking. Please note: This property has a natural water supply via a spring.. Sometimes we all just need an escape. Here in the heart of Craik Forest, you can do just that! This holiday cottage offers the perfect escape from the modern world. While there is a TV with Sky available, the internet connection is not reliable, and mobile signal in Craik is limited making it an ideal retreat for those looking to truly switch off and get away from it all. The cottage is in a secluded, rural location, with the nearest shops, pubs, and restaurants located 12 miles away in Hawick. There are also smaller local shops in nearby villages. When it comes to activities, you won’t have to travel far to find something exciting to do.
This semi-detached house is is an ideal retreat for either a family of five or a small group. All three bedrooms are located on the upper floor, whilst the bathroom is on the ground floor. The main living space is also on the ground floor, too, where you can sit and relax at the end of a day spent exploring or engaging in activity-based fun in the surrounding area. Kick back and relax in front of the wood burner on a chilly evening, while the ‘chef’ enjoys preparing and cooking on the larger range cooker. Whether you choose to sit outside in the rear garden taking advantage of that view or sitting at the table in the kitchen you’ll have plenty space. At the rear of the kitchen a utility area which is ideal for storing muddy boots and drying off muddy dogs. Both the front and sizeable rear gardens are enclosed, and the rear enjoys a stunning open view over the surrounding countryside and forests.
Whatever the reason for your visit to Craik Forest, you’ll not be short of things to do and explore. Those who enjoy being fit will have a great time exploring the surrounding hills and walks and participating in the array of activities.
