Whitefield Holiday Cottage

Standing a quarter of a mile from the main Selkirk-Moffat road (A708), set in a secluded but easily accessible site in the beautiful Yarrow Valley, the south-facing cottage has picturesque views to the hills, and stands in an enclosed grassy garden. There is a hardcore road to the door, and there is ample parking space. We have a private water supply, spring fed.

This is a truly rural retreat with sheep grazing nearby and walks, wildlife and burns all around; however it is very central for all the Border towns, also Edinburgh and Dumfries-shire.
