When speaking to one of our consultants please ask about the disabled access in local areas as we can recommend places to go and things to do

The wonderful Scottish Borders countryside is unspoilt and relatively unknown. It is a land of great historical interest and breathtaking beauty. Edinburgh is an easy drive to the north and the marvellous east coastline, with Holy Island and the great castles of Northumberland, is only an hour away. There are lots to see and do with a constant schedule of Events.
