This wee Bothy has unbelievable views and is incredibly well equipped with quality equipment. The road is a cul de sac and only used by farm traffic and another house a mile away. It’s.on Google Streetview. We had fabulous weather and made use of the sunny patio. Peebles is superb and has all you want … visit the amazing Town Hall in the town centre. …, also Dawyck Aboretum just down the road which also has tasty a restaurant . Plenty of other attractions within 20 miles
