The Hayloft, Kailzie - sleeping 2 guests in one bedroom | Cottage in Peebles

A stylish cottage with enviable access to Kailzie Gardens after hours.
Surrounded by the lush hills and woodlands of the Upper Tweed Valley, The Hayloft is a quirky cottage perfect for those in need of a country getaway. Set within a courtyard on the Kailzie Estate, guests can enjoy private after-hours access to its stunning gardens – including its glorious walled garden, glasshouses, wild gardens, centuries-old woodland and burnside trails which evolve throughout the year. Here you can relax and reattune to the natural world – whether you’re surrounded by carpets of snowdrops, blooming rhododendrons, summer borders, fragrant roses or autumn leaves.
Enter through the main door into the hallway. Featuring fern-green panelling and a primrose-yellow rocking chair, its bench, cupboards, and hooks provide plenty of space to store coats and boots. This is the only room on the ground floor, with the rest of the living space all lying on the first floor. Up the stairs you’ll discover the cottage’s combed ceilings, lancet windows, and original wooden beams. An airy but characterful space, it commands wonderful views out to the gardens. The furniture includes bespoke and repurposed pieces from Scottish artisans, including rich velvet and floral furnishings which gather around the cosy log burner and echo the botanical environment of the cottage.
Through the living area you’ll find the kitchen, its emerald subway tiles and ample counter space bathed in natural light through the sloping skylight. The dining table is set between the symmetrical arched windows and is a lovely place to enjoy a meal, while the Kailzie Gardens Café is also on hand should you fancy a treat – located in the courtyard to the right of the cottage. The café serves speciality coffee, lunches, and Sunday roasts, sourcing as many ingredients as possible from the gardens themselves and with tables surrounded by blooming flowers in the summer months.
The bedroom lies up three steps at the opposite side of the living area. Its inviting king size bed benefits from crisp white sheets and handy brass reading lights, while a stylish ensuite bathroom can be found through a sliding door. With elegant patterned tiles, black fittings, and a rainforest shower, it’s the perfect place to unwind.
The estate and gardens are right on your doorstep, including a pétanque rink, putting green, Tweed fishing beat, and lochan so you’ll have no shortage of activities to keep you busy. You’re also spoilt for choice for beautiful scenery further afield with Glentress Forest, the gardens at Dawyck and the ancient woodlands in the Tweed Valley all within easy reach.
