“Riverside Cabin From start to finish a wonderful experience. The cabin exceeded our expectations on all levels, just such a nice atmosphere and well kitted out. Chickens out one window, lambs out the other. Evenings sitting out back in the sun overlooking the river watching the fish feed in the pool below. Garden full of wild flowers and errant grouse. Pub literally 10 minutes over the bridge, Selkirk and all its bounty 15 minutes drive down the road. Plenty of walks and friendly locals abound. Charming, secluded and just a beautiful place to go. We’ll definitely be back!”… Sawday’s guest review
Refurbished and launched in August 21, Riverside Cabin is a new holiday let situated on the edge of the pretty village of Ettrickbridge. The cabin is in a lovely position on the bank of the Ettrick Water, just a short walk from our local pub, The Cross Keys, the village tennis court and park. Lots of lovely walks from the door and fantastic road cycling in the area.
The garden has been kept wild for the rich wildlife habitat and depending upon the time of the year there are lots of wild flowers, grasses and fruit bushes. You can spot wild orchids, foxgloves, cornflowers, poppies to name a few. Oyster Catchers nest close by in the spring and there is an abundance of local wildlife to spot from roe deer to salmon to kingfishers to red squirrels and otters.
With two bedrooms, one king size bed and a second bedroom with twin single beds, Riverside Cabin is spacious yet cosy and well equipped. The kitchen has a standing fridge freezer, electric oven, microwave, halogen hob and dishwasher. There is a washing machine and tumble drier in the spacious porch/utility. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower. The living area is the total width of the property with a sunny outlook and large dining table – ideal for cards, games and studying maps.
Externally there is a lovely loggia bench overlooking the water and a picnic table and BBQ set in the wild garden.
Please note there are some higgledy steps down to the cottage from the roadside.
“Thank you so much – we’ve had a really lovely couple of nights – the cabin is wonderful – really well equipped, clean, cosy, super comfy bed and stunning setting in a lovely village. Lovely walks, great food at the Cross Keys. Perfect for a couple of nights switch off!”…Riverside Cabin guests
“We had a gorgeous week thanks. My 6 year old was in tears leaving! Tried most of the eating recommendations I think and Provender was fabulous. Also would recommend for any future guests the Clay Pigeon shooting at Bisley. Never done it before but Y and I had a great time and kids liked the cafe. Very friendly”… Riverside Cabin guests
