To many weary walkers - myself included - Kirk Yetholm, where this delightful Borders holiday cottage is situated, is the end of the Pennine Way, a long distance footpath of almost 300 miles along the backbone of England all the way from the Peak District. The Cheviots are the final range of hills the long-distance walkers face on their journey. The Daily Telegraph called them the "heathered roof of the world". The distinctive rounded hills are criss-crossed with bridleways which allow walkers and mountain bikers to follow the routes of ancient cattle drovers. The upland scenery of the Cheviots is second to none with the Cheviot itself rising to 815 metres.
Set in the tranquil foothills of the Cheviots, and renowned as the home of the Gypsy Kings and Queens, the 'smallest Palace in the world' is a delightful holiday cottage with a fascinating history. Full of character and charm, it boasts stained glass windows, arched windows, a summer house, magnificent views (pictured) and an ideal location in this conservation village. Great walking on the Pennine Way starts at the door and Borders' castles, gardens and beaches are in easy reach. Edinburgh is an hour's drive. Pub 100 yards, shops ¼ mile.
