About this property
This delightful, mid-terrace cottage lies just below the old Jedburgh Jail, in the historic town of Jedburgh, close to the Scotland and England border. Ideal for families or groups of friends, Castlebrae is a charming treat, providing a lovely base to call home while exploring South Scotland. After finding a roadside parking space, step into the entrance hallway before discovering the sitting room, presented with two plush sofas and a Smart TV, so you can enjoy cosy movie nights after a long day. Move into the bright and airy kitchen/diner, uplifted by natural light with windows on all sides, this is a delightful space for some home-cooking. Serve the fruits of your labour at the dining table, before popping open a bottle of wine and toasting to a long-awaited getaway with loved ones. Take the evening outside to the large, enclosed garden, where you can sit at the garden bench and enjoy the last of day’s sun, admiring the wild shrubbery and rural views. As you begin to tire, there are three well-presented bedrooms to choose from, including two doubles and a twin, each with neutral furnishings and plenty of storage space. Prepare for the day in either the shower room or quirky bathroom, before venturing into the town centre in search of local attractions. Pick your pick from a selection of restaurants, pubs and cafés for something to eat, or browse the shops in the colourful renovated buildings in the Market Place and Canongate. Overlooking the town is the wonderful 12th century Jedburgh Abbey, with many artefacts and archaeological finds, it offers an insight into life before the abbey. Explore a little further afield and take a trip to the Ale Water Valley, which is nestled between Selkirk, Hawick and Jedburgh; it offers a plethora of outdoor activities such as cycling, horse riding, golf and more. The historical capital of Edinburgh is 50 miles away, offering a city skyline, cobbled streets and wonderful attractions, it would make a great day trip.

It is a great base for exploring the surrounding area. The property was comfortable and well equipped. When we arrived we came across some maintenance issues which we reported to Sykes via email. They were quick to reply and asked if we required them to be fixed while we were there. The issues were not emergencies so we said no but thought we needed to report them before other guests arrived. One piece of equipment that would be useful would be a clothes horse. We would certainly stay here again.

The kitchen was very welcoming, and I enjoyed cooking in there. The beds upstairs were extremely comfortable. There are two single beds downstairs which Iâd overlooked, I had thought these were upstairs, one is comfortable the other not so. I feel that putting a king /double bed downstairs would work better and either adding a single to a double bedroom or exchanging them would be more beneficial as our youngest child did not want to sleep downstairs by themselves. Unfortunately, the property wasnât as clean as I would of liked. I had to clean as there were tea stains on the living room floor and lots of dog hair from the previous guests ( we were dog free) and after I swept up it would have been nice to be able to clean over the floor without leaving it all wet, as a mop and bucket would have(and the one available was not in good order) so a speed mop would be very helpful to clean the wooden floors. I also had to wash the blankets that were on the sofas. I think other guests have used these for their dogs as these were covered in dog hair, not nice to sit on! Weirdly some of the tea towels were covered in dog hair but that is obviously not the property owners fault! I would recommend Briggsyâs butcher for fabulous tasty delights and Jedburgh deli for your cooking needs. We had a trip to Kelso and the local garden centre, there is an amazing fruit and veg shop selling unusual fruits and tasty breads. Definitely worth a visit! All in all a great week away.

Very comfortable sofa and beds, plenty towels, kitchen and dining fully fitted with everything you could need, and brilliant enclosed garden, enjoyed by both dogs. Very warm and cozy on the cold nights. Excellent location in centre of Jedburgh, so close to the local attractions. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
