New! Cross Keys House - Cosy 4-Bed Cottage in Kirk Yetholm
Summary:
Introducing Cross Keys House! Ideal for families, walking groups and relaxed countryside breaks, this welcoming 4-bed cottage sleeps up to 7 guests in the heart of Kirk Yetholm. Enjoy comfortable social spaces, a well-equipped kitchen and doorstep access to some of the Borders’ most scenic walking routes. Perfect for slow mornings, outdoor adventures and cosy evenings back at home. Stay longer and save - 12% off 7+ night stays and 22% off 28+ night stays.
The Space:
Cross Keys House is a warm, characterful cottage designed for unhurried stays and quality time together.
After a day exploring the hills, unwind in the cosy lounge where soft lighting, floral touches and the gentle glow of the stove set the tone for relaxed evenings and easy conversation. The spacious dining room is ideal for long breakfasts, shared dinners and board games once the day winds down.
The bright, well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering simple, whether you’re packing lunches for a full day on the trails or enjoying home-cooked meals together.
Four comfortable bedrooms offer calm, restful spaces to retreat to at night, including a flexible master bedroom with a kingsize bed that can also be arranged as twins.
Outside, the private garden provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee, fresh air and quiet moments, surrounded by greenery and village charm.
With its homely feel and tranquil setting, Cross Keys House is a welcoming base for families, walkers and anyone seeking a slower pace in the Scottish Borders.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive use of the entire cottage throughout their stay.
There is ample private parking on site for multiple vehicles.
Self check-in is simple and flexible via a secure 4-digit lockbox, allowing arrival from 3pm onwards.
The Neighborhood:
Kirk Yetholm is a picturesque village in the Scottish Borders, just eight miles from Kelso and moments from the England–Scotland border. It sits alongside its sister village, Town Yetholm, reached by a gentle stroll across the Bowmont Water.
Surrounded by rolling hills, peaceful lanes and renowned walking routes, the village is especially popular with walkers and those looking to explore this quieter, scenic corner of the Borders.
Getting Around:
A car is recommended to make the most of the area.
The cottage is well placed for scenic drives, local pubs, cycling routes and exploring nearby villages and countryside across the Borders and beyond.

As a professional host, we use secure systems to protect both guests and the property.
Before arrival, we require:
✓ Online check-in via a secure link (guest details, ID and agreement to T&Cs)
✓ Security option: either a refundable £350 deposit or a £25/night damage waiver (capped at £110)
All steps are quick, secure and completed through our guest portal after booking.
