What's Outside and Nearby

Kids will love the barn with table tennis. Adults will love the views of the salmon river. And everyone will love spotting otters, herons and oystercatchers from the balcony.

Heiton Mill House is in a perfect setting for fishing, walking, cycling and exploring the Scottish Borders or take out a rowing boat and potter about on the river.

Discover the freedom of the vast skies and switchback hills of Scottish border country. Great for walking, gourmet dining and golf, the Borders boasts the beauty of the Lakes and the Highlands, with none of the crowds. Sssh.

Where It Is

The address is:

Heiton Mill,
Heiton
Kelso
Roxburghshire
TD5 8LA

The area is remarkably easy to reach - the A1 and the A68 are the main trunk roads connecting the Borders with Edinburgh to the north and Newcastle to the south-east, with the A7 providing a link to Carlisle. For those arriving by train, the East Coast Line will provide a wonderfully scenic route to the local station in Berwick-upon-Tweed. The nearest international airports are Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow. 

From the unspoiled heather-clad hills in the west, to the sandy beaches and harbour towns of its coast, the 1800 square miles of the Scottish Borders is home to just 112,000 people, making it a perfect place to get away from the crowds. There are all sorts of festivals and sporting events from the Rugby Sevens of Melrose, to equestrian events like the International Horse Trials at Floors Castle near Kelso. And for golf enthusiasts the Roxburghe Golf Course is just around the corner from Heiton Mill House and the golf courses of East Lothian are a short drive away.

Eating out in the Borders is a real pleasure, with restaurants and cafes with cuisine and menus to suit different tastes and budgets.
