Some of the views of our Tiny Home guests
NOVEMBER 2024
A weekend spent in our PJs with no other company apart from the swan!
We've absolutely loved our stay here. It’s so peaceful and it gave us the break we needed.
Claire and David have considered every detail here, from the location to the extra special touches – they really have gone above and beyond for us and their guests.
We saw a lot of comments about the bed before we slept in it and we can confirm they are not wrong! Absolute heaven. And the bath …. Well, that speaks for itself!
We’re returning home relaxed, grateful and ready to book our next visit. Thank you so much Claire and David.
PS if you go paddle boarding – it can be a rather cold hit to the ego if you get too brave!
Lisa and Connor
NOVEMBER 2024
A perfect escape to celebrate our 10-year anniversary!
We enjoyed a walk up Ruberslaw and the views from the top.
Lots of wonderfully chilly dips and swims in the lochan followed by warm relaxing baths in the tub. Russell tried the paddleboarding, but I prefer to be in the winter than bobbling about on top!
The dogs absolutely loved the freedom and space and the cosy fire at the end of the day.
Thanks for sharing your magical wee space with us – and for all the lovely little extras that really made this place even more of a luxury (especially the venison!) We hope to be back in the future!
Clair and Russell
OCTOBER /NOVEMBER 2024
This was the most beautiful birthday trip ever!
From climbing Ruberslaw in the windy morning, passing all the red deer, to paddleboarding on the (very cold!) lochan, we’ve had a ball. This is a little slice of heaven. Every detail has been thought of so all we had to do was enjoy the privacy and peace of the great outdoors.
The highlight was definitely stargazing from the bathtub!
Beth, Blair and Woolly
OCTOBER 2024
What a gorgeous place – we don’t want to go home!
It was a steep climb to the top of Ruberslaw but well worth the effort – the views from there are insane!
Soaking in the outdoor bath after paddleboarding was delightful.
Emma and Tom
OCTOBER 2024
Had an amazing long weekend to celebrate 10 years together and 5 years married. Our first time away from the kids, much needed break. Amazing place, scenery, walks and all the small touches - which mean we’ll definitely be back!
Sophie and Rich
OCTOBER 2024
Thank you for the most lovely little cabin!
We had a brilliant two night’s star gazing, enjoying pizza on the porch and soaking in the tub. Feel very relaxed after our stay!

OCTOBER 2024
Thank you for a gorgeous stay. The bread, butter, cookies and pastries were fantastic. We enjoyed beautiful walks in the woodland, stargazing in the bath and watching sunrise listening to the roaring stags.
A gorgeous birthday treat.
Marka, Hannah, Bronson and Shea
OCTOBER 2024
Thank you so much for having us at the Tiny Wee home. We came to celebrate a birthday and had the most wonderful wee stay.
We had a lovely walk up the hill with the deer, fun on the paddleboards, a quick cold dip and the bath was the perfect way to warm up after. Quiet evening games and the most amazing Northern Lights. We’ll be back.
Robbie and Missy
OCTOBER 2024
Some of the views of our Tiny Home guests Possibly the most relaxing break we have ever had. Stunning location!
Loved the lochan and wood fired bath. Some amazing walks and climbed Ruberslaw. Looking forward to coming back and staying at Tiny Home 2 when its built!

SEPTEMBER 2024
Thank you for such a lovely stay.
The place is so peaceful, and the views are amazing.
We spent hours sat outside just enjoying the sounds of the country. The sounds from the deer are amazing. We spent time up the bank just watching, they probably spent more time watching us though. Paddleboarding was great, even got Moxey (our little Jack) on with his life jacket. Think he was in his element this whole weekend. Everyday there was something new to see, from massive blue dragonflies on the water, pheasants in the trees to buzzards flying above us.
We’ve had the best time.
Thank you, Jade, Russ and Moxey
SEPTEMBER 2024
A very special place, we don’t think we’ve ever stayed in such a peaceful spot, where all you can hear is nature and there’s absolutely no-one around.
We loved the lochan to swim in, the deck to chill on and the bath to dip in. It was brilliant to have unlimited wood.
The bed is incredibly cosy and the cottage well set out. We enjoyed the walks and the simplicity of being away from everything.
Murphy the dog loved it, he is a rescue, and it was brilliant for him to be able to roam about safely. Thanks for all your treats and the quick replies to our questions. It’s been exactly what we needed.
Caroline, Steve and Murphy
SEPTEMBER 2024
Thank you for such a lovely stay.
We are here for our honeymoon and things couldn’t be more perfect!
Lots of things have been provided for and we loved our food pack. The views around here are stunning and are even more breathtaking up Ruberslaw. We had great fun paddle boarding and had a quick dip, although it is probably a bit too chilly this time of year!
I don’t think either of us have experienced such peace and calm in a long time.
Thank you once again,
Wendy and Ben
SEPTEMBER 2024
Amazing space, we loved every second of this beautiful home. Jack the Border Collie loved sitting by the lake and taking in the peace. Thank you for sharing your place with us.
Lou, Dan and Jack
SEPTEMBER 2024
What a magical place, we’ve had the most magical few days.
Pure relaxation and peace. Fun on the paddleboards to lovely walks, which Poppy loved.
Once we mastered the bath, it was heaven. (Thanks Claire.)
We will be back,
Karen, Dave and Poppy
AUGUST 2024
This was our second time in Tiny Home and it was even more amazing than the first!
We loved the new walking routes, our favourite was climbing Ruberslaw, the views were beautiful. The dogs have had the best time swimming in the lochan whilst we paddle boarded. This place is just absolute perfection, and we cannot wait to come back again!
Thank you for amazing holiday!
Sarah, Jonathan, Dr Watson and Penny
AUGUST 2024
This place is literally BLISS!
We used the Tiny Home as a base for our wedding weekend and it has been outstanding. To be able to wake up here on our special day and then to return and enjoy the rest of the weekend has been absolutely incredible.
Lovely long soaks in the bath, hikes through deer fields, paddles and swims in the lochan and total peace! All the extra touches were so appreciated.
Thank you SO much, we will deffo be back and would love to visit Tiny Home 2!
We watched the super moon on 18th through the telescope – INCREDIBLE!
Tom, Amy and Lenny
AUGUST 2024
Wow!!
Instagram and website’s do not do this enough justice because this place is sensational. Our biggest regret is not booking for longer. Every avenue covered, the beautiful touches with the bread, eggs and muesli. The personalised embossing of ‘Tiny Home Borders’ shows no stone is left unturned.
The wildlife, the deer, were a sight to behold. We have had glorious weather and tried to pack so much in yet we also read and enjoyed as we soaked in the bath. Surrounded by snow! This is the most amazing ‘Tiny Home’. We would love to return and enjoy the surrounding area some more. We’ve stayed in some amazing 5-star accommodation, but this is one of those experiences that you just can’t rival. Thank you very much.
Mark, Maz and Milo
What a lovely place to come and get away from it all!
Had a wonderful time enjoying the peace and tranquility, the hot tub and the lochan were all a joy.
All of the food was amazing (who needs vegetables when you've got meat of this quality!) We got the best of weather as well!
Thanks again
Michele & James
I can honestly say this is the best stay-cation we have ever been on! The facilities are fantastic. We made yummy pizzas using Greta, had amazing BBQ using the delicious meat provided in the BBQ package and had so much fun on the loch. Can't wait to return soon!
Thank you so much.
Joe & Hayley plus the two pups Ralph & Lola
Had a lovely time in the Tiny Home. Peace and quiet in a great location.
Passed the time watching the farmers in their fields. Made full use of the loch and the paddleboards and the hot tub. We are already recommending to our friends and will be back in the future. Harry had a great time exploring around us.
Carrie, Grant and Harry the dog
JANUARY 2023
What a beautiful home. The finishing touches and finer details make this amazing! Lake was a bit too cold but lasted 5 minutes paddleboarding!
Would love to return in the summer!
Carly and Alan
JUNE 2024
Wow what an amazing place.
This was a retirement gift to Justin from our work colleagues and they couldn’t have chosen anything better to help us unwind from all those years of work!
Some of the highlights:
Breathtaking (literally) - climbing up Ruberslaw and seeing the fantastic views.
Dramatic – rescuing a swallow that flew into the tiny house.
Funny – Justin trying to dry his hair with what he thought was a hairdryer but was actually the vacuum – ha ha!
Loads and loads of other lovely memories to take back with us. Thank you so much!
Justin, Helen and Bella
JULY 2024
What a wonderful place to spend our second wedding anniversary. Paradise in Scotland.
From swimming in the lochan, paddleboarding (with Alf in his life jacket) playing chess and enjoying wine on the terrace to the wood fired bath – what an incredible place!!
We have really loved every single minute!
Can we stay forever??
We can’t wait to come back – thank you for creating such a special place!
Caroline, Shea and Alfie
JULY 2024
A wonderful few days. A gift from our children for our 60th birthdays. We had to cancel last year but rebooked on our wedding anniversary this year, so worth the wait! The setting is just beautiful, so peaceful, only the birdsong. We have loved swimming in the loch and relaxing in the wonderful bath.
Lovely walk (brown route) up to Ruberslaw and foraged on the glorious bilberries.
Thank you for creating such a magical place.
Lucia and Nigel
AUGUST 2024
No words. ‘PERFECT’
Loved every minute.
Andrew, Bartley and Holly
JUNE 2024
Thank you for such a lovely stay!
Your Tiny Home is just so beautiful inside and even more so out, it has been the perfect place to get away from the ‘real world’ and slow down together. Our highlight will definitely be getting our long-bottomed Basset Hound, Walter, on our paddle board in his life jacket. It is a memory I will cherish forever (and I took far too many photos of it in case we forget!) We also loved the bathtub in the fog. Thank you so much David for getting the bath fire going for us. You all go above and beyond here. The little touches are so thoughtful – the eggs, bread, milk, butter, cookies, all make this a more personal experience.
Oh, and the stags up the hill are absolutely beautiful! I can’t believe they have another 6 weeks of growing their antlers, one is huge!
Thank you again for an amazing, unforgettable stay.
Vicky, Paul and Walter
JUNE 2024
Thank you so much for sharing your Tiny slice of paradise with us!
We couldn’t have spent our 10-year anniversary anywhere more magical.
We climbed Ruberslaw, paddle boarded, bathed under the night sky and cooked your beautiful venison on the outdoor grill. All whilst soaking up the peace and nature around us.
We hope to be back again one day!
Ben and Laura
JULY 2024
Beautiful spot. Lovely accommodation. We had a fantastic child and dog free break, just the two of us. Couldn’t have asked for a more ideal location or facilities. This is such a cosy wee hideaway. Will certainly recommend to everyone we know! Probably the best place to be to get away from a general election!
David and Lindsey
JUNE 2024
OMG!!! An unexpected gift from Steven and Kieran! It has been brilliant…. Just what the doctor ordered. I really hope they can come and experience what we have. We have enjoyed every moment. We have pushed our boundaries, as in climbed Ruberslaw and the views were amazing! Loads of things to see and do round about this area too!
We haven’t made use of paddleboards or wild swimming but can see attraction (we are just old) Love it!!!
P.S. please contact us on any free dates,
Kathleen
JULY 2024
We have absolutely LOVED the Tiny Home! What a perfect location – so peaceful and tranquil – like a little piece of heaven! We've never felt so ‘at one’ with nature – the deer, the birdsong, the lochan, the countryside – totally unspoilt!
We loved the bath and the cooker – again ‘at one’ with nature. You have got this place just right!
We will definitely be back and will recommend to our family.
THANK YOU!!
Maureen, Paul and Gracie
JULY 2024
Thank you so much for a perfect couple of nights away.
This was a Christmas gift for my fiancé, and we picked a great time to get away from it all with our dog Jax.
Jax is a nervous boy and faced his fears for the first time swimming, and we managed to get him onto the paddle board!
Great fun and relaxation all round.
Cheryl, Robert and Jax
PS thank you for the lovely treats.
JULY 2024
Had a wonderful second stay at Tiny Home Borders, what an amazing special place. Loved every minute (again) It’s so relaxing and comfortable.
Did a bit of sightseeing this time on Saturday. The surrounding area is so beautiful, then came back for a lovely relaxing soak in the bath with amazing views.
On Sunday climbed the hill to the very top, absolutely stunning views had some lunch up there, what a great experience. Said hello to the deer, did some paddleboarding, frog watching and more relaxing on the deck.
Thank you!
Helen
JULY 2024
What a magical place, easy to find, feels exclusive with wonderful views. The walk from the car, we knew we were going to have the most relaxing weekend.
The views, the bath, the comfy bed - it was all so lovely.
It was Miso’s first time in water, she loved the paddle boards and felt free running around.
Just perfect, thank you.
Becky, Robbie and Miso
MAY 2024
Thank you for a truly fabulous stay!
We both loved every second, enjoying nature’s song, the paddle boards, the hot bath! The outdoor relaxing area is just sublime! The extra treats were amazingly delicious!
BBQ box was totally yummy and thoroughly enjoyed!
You have a magical place here and we fell in love with it all.

Thank you for this idyllic spot!
We’ve had a wonderful long weekend in the sun, enjoying the countryside surroundings. Chilling on the porch, SUP-ing in the lochan. Toby even managed a few laps with his life jacket. Thanks!
Nathan, Kristina and Toby
JUNE 2024
We had a lovely few days away for my 50th birthday. So peaceful and lovely. Darcy the pup enjoyed the water and paddle boards. A special treat for me. Very enjoyable.

Chris, Mel and Darcy
APRIL 2024
What an amazing place! We had a wonderful time, and our dog Kip particularly loved the quiet and the freedom!

Nicola, Kris and Kip
APRIL 2024
Wow, what a truly beautiful retreat! Our friend ‘Wakes’ bought us this break as a wedding gift, he’ll be delighted we had such an amazing time.The baked treats, milk, butter and the little extras are such a lovely touch.
As a swimmer I’ve adored being next to such a beautiful lochan and Phil and Eric have enjoyed paddleboarding.
Such a fantastic place, we’ll be back.
Laura, Phil and Eric the dog
APRIL 2024
What a fabulous place to stay!
We had a magical stay here, loved the swimming and paddleboarding – even though it was cold!
We had amazing weather, lovely walks and I really don’t want to leave. The bed is very comfy.
Thanks,
Gaynor, Mark and Ralph the dog
MAY 2024
Definitely the most peaceful and cosy place we have ever stayed.
We have loved every second, from making pizzas (well trying to) under the stars to strolling up the hill to see the deer. An unforgettable trip. Ace has had the best time too on his first ever holiday!
Thank you so much!
Caitlyn, Connor and Ace
APRIL 2024

Was a short break but was magical for morning coffee, fab views and we saw so many deer. We had excellent nights sleep in the super comfy bed.

What a beautiful place. Just wow!
We have had the best time, so relaxing.
Everything we needed, loved all the wee extra touches.

Julie and John
DECEMBER 2023
Thank you for an absolutely incredible stay. It was our first time and we are sure we will be back.
We booked this trip early 2023 as something to look forward to and oh my goodness was it worth the wait. We spent our days walking, stargazing, relaxing in the incredible bath and outside watching the world go by. Jumping in the lochan on New Years Day was exhilarating!! The bed is by far the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, it felt like a wee nest. We loved falling asleep to the sound of hooting owls and barking foxes.
We loved the pizza oven, the breakfast pack and the home reared venison. You can’t beat local food. I could write all evening and not do Tiny Home justice. Thank you!
Hannah, Greg and Pumpkin x
JANUARY 2024
This has been the perfect end to our mini moon.
Tiny Home Borders is just perfect – every little thing has been thought of and executed perfectly!
The fresh local bread, milk, eggs and muesli were a treat! The paddleboarding, outdoor tub and walks were wonderful!
Sitting in front of the fire at night was so relaxing.
We’ll definitely be back.
Love from Rebecca and Keith​
JANUARY 2024
We have had a wonderful time here.
Even though the Scottish weather came out in full force, we had some lovely walks and the stove kept us toasty inside.
David and Claire were delightful hosts who made sure our stay was perfect. We loved the little touches – the delicious baked goods, fresh milk and eggs and the lovely little toiletries. Thank you – I’m sure we will be back!
Ailsa and Anna
SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2023
What a beautiful setting!
We enjoyed everything Tiny Home Borders had to offer, from the relaxing outside bath to the amazing views!
We were lucky enough to enjoy the stars on our first night and had some sunshine to do some paddle boarding. Looking forward to our next visit already.
Many thanks Claire and David
OCTOBER 2023
We have enjoyed an absolutely blissful few days at the tiny house, couldn’t haveasked for a more perfect stay. Paddle boarding in the lochan, relaxing in the hot bath and exploring nearby wals – just perfect! Thank you for the delicious goodies also!
We hope to be back soon.
Natasha and Costa and Fern & Gus

Beautiful spot and a fantastic Tiny Home. We will hopefully be back next year.
OCTOBER 2023
Just as beautiful as March! Cannot wait to return again.
Joseph, Ellen and Fern
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2023
These are all the things we did in this wonderful place.
A re-supply trek round hills, through fields and forests and over streams.
Hot bath in the midnight snow with champagne. Cracking the ice to go for a freezing dook in the lochan.
Sitting with the Bonchester locals for a sing song in the pub (last Sunday of every month!) First time boogie boarding lesson. Chilling on the deck chairs in below 0 with all the blankets and a glass of whisky watching the world go by. Thank you Claire, David and Sarah for an unforgettable time!
Alex and Conor

SEPTEMBER 2023
Wonderful 48-hour escape. Beautiful location, cabin an idyllic retreat. Fabulous attention to detail. And the hot bath was a real treat, even the whole act of heating it up and stoking the fire.
Mixed weather but didn’t take away from a relaxing break, the moonlit sky and night was magical.
Perfect 50th birthday treat for 2 friends to stop, press pause and catch up on life. We will be back!
Loved all the wee foodie treats too!
Never even made it up the hill but next time………!
Many thanks, Gaynor and Sarah
OCTOBER 2023
We have absolutely loved the peace and tranquillity of this beautiful place……
Just perfect for escaping everyday life and its busyness. So far, we have not seen a soul for 48 hours. We did the Ruberslaw walk yesterday and such beautiful views across Hawick. The dogs are loving life here, as do we. Time to reflect, recharge, be still. Time to just be in the beauty of nature.
Wendy, Rob, Tyler and Milo.
OCTOBER 2023
Wow, what an incredible place, just perfect for us to relax after a busy wedding week. It was so wonderful to rest and be thoughtful, enjoying the quiet – accompanied by the deer of course! We hiked up Ruberslaw to catch the sunrise and it certainly didn’t disappoint! We loved trying out the telescope to find constellations and of course the paddleboarding. We are avid cold water dippers and so loved having the lochan to ourselves! Thank you so much Claire and David for a magical stay and the little touches. Like the bread, butter, jam made it feel extra homey! Very Coorie indeed! We’ll be back!
Jake and Claire
OCTOBER 2023
This has been a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday. The walks, hot baths and cold (exhilarating!)
Dips in the lochan felt like a real reset.
I love everything about this place, its so well considered and I just feel calm and restored.
I am sorry to leave but that just means I have to come back!
Thank you for such a lovely stay.
Amy
OCTOBER 2023
Thank you for having us at this beautiful cozy cabin for three days. We loved all parts of it, the small details of the cabin, the cam of the nature, the magical view. It was nice to be out of everyday life and listen to the sounds of the deer around us. Its just the perfect place to relax and reconnect with each other.
And last but not least we are thankful to spend our honeymoon here.
Love, Bruce and Rebecca from Hungary

Thank you so much for a wonderful two-day break at Tiny Home Borders.
We have basked in the privacy and peace which the cabin affords. We loved swimming in the lochan in the early morning with the swallows swooping around us and in the dark with the bats swooping around us and luxuriating in the gorgeous wood fired bath.
Such a wonderful present from our children. We are very sorry to leave such a beautiful spot.
Penny, Mark and Bill and Flo the Labradors.
NOVEMBER 2023
Claire and David, thanks for everything.
Our mini break at Tiny Home is just what we needed after a very busy season. We are so lucky toi stay in such a beautiful part of the country.
A huge thank you to our son Morgan for organising this surprise get away and hopefully he will be able to experience staying at Tiny Home in the future.
All the best, Fiona and Mark from the East Neuk of Fife
MAY 2023
Thankyou for a wonderful escape!
What an amazing setting you have and what a brilliant retreat you have created. We came to totally switch off from work and find somewhere that our rescue lurcher could feel safe. Both of these things were absolutely achieved. We loved the lochan, Greta and the hot tub and the canopy is a genius idea – we had some rain so it was a joy to sit outside and listen to the water on the lochan while staying dry! We were also lucky enough to have a day of glorious sunshine. It doesn’t get much better than having the beautiful deer for neighbours and as all guests have said, the little touches and breakfast/barbecue packs take things to the next level, we’ll be back.
Siobhan, Tom and Finn the lurcher x

To Claire and David,
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay – paradise, pizzas, paddleboards and pooch friendly. What more could you ask for?! Tiny Home borders was an extremely special stay. It was great to switch off and be present in nature.
Pure Bliss.
Thank you, Caitlin and Kevin (Nelly and Otis)
APRIL 2023
We were gifted our stay here as a Christmas present from our two sons and it exceeded our expectations in every way. We loved the total peace and quiet and the chance to fully relax, away from it all. Everything has been thought out very carefully and we loved the 5-star quality and attention to detail. The views from Ruberslaw are well worth the slog, as is the 3-hour fire making to get the hot tub ready!! What a treat to sit in it under the moon and stars watching the bats. A perfect 2-day retreat. Thank you!
Lori and Jonathan
APRIL 2023
We’ve stayed in many little hideaways and yours is the first one in which we had ‘everything’ we needed. You have thought of everything! The little touches are what makes this perfect. We will definitely be back when it is warm enough to swim in the lake! Paddle boarding was fun – unfortunately after wondering why we could only go in circles; we realised the fins are missing on both boards!
Thank you for the peace and solitude.
Katy, Ross and Pablo

Emma and David

A perfect, unique place and somewhere that made a special break really magical!
This place is heavenly.
The bath and the views are just sensational, and the little extra touches are great!
A wonderful surprise in a wonderful place! Thank you!
Donna, Andy and Nico
MAY 2023
As all the previous guests have said – a truly unique and special place. So relaxing and peaceful. We’ve loved every minute of our stay. So lucky with the weather too! Bed is super comfy. Thanks so much for the lovely little extras. Definitely a place we will recommend to family and friends.
(We booked to stay with our wee dog Poppy. Sadly, she passed away a few months ago. She would have loved the place as much as we did.)
Carrie and Peter xx
JUNE 2023
Absolutely blown away! What a special place you have. We do a lot of glamping and this place tops all others, from the living space to the views and all the little extras. We all had a great time paddle boarding (this includes our two Pomeranians Elsa and Betsy) Loved the walks, the views from the top were breathtaking, and we got to meet the alpacas. The bed is so comfy. We would love to come back. Thank you for having us.
Emma, Sam, Elsa and Betsy
JUNE 2023
Dear Claire, David and Sarah,
Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay. Incredible little touches and delicious food just added so much more. We’ve loved just being able to book in the glorious weather, on the porch, on the paddle boards and in the outdoor tub.
Very sad to leave though, no doubt we will return. Thank you for everything!
JUNE 2023
This is our first return visit and this time stayed for a whole week – definitely recommend a longer stay to anyone considering it.
The setting and Tiny Home itself is idyllic. A haven for humans and wildlife. Merlin Bird ID app identified so many birds from their songs and calls and we also saw most of them. Also loved seeing the newts, tadpoles, froglets and the friendly horses, deer and cows. Fantastic weather meant we could paddle board/swim every day and we also managed a couple of trips up Ruberslaw. It is only around 30 minutes to the top from Tiny Home so well worth a go. The views are stunning!
As we were here longer this time, we went out a few times and all four of very much enjoyed the Donkey Sanctuary (open Saturday’s only) and Floors Castle. Dogs on leads at both places which suits us and our two plodders! The whole area is beautiful and largely unspoilt. Rare to find in the UK these days! Thank you, Claire, David and Sarah for another amazing holiday – you thought of everything and even the yummy cereal!
Kylie, Alistair, Gonzo and Odie

What an absolutely gorgeous place!!
We had the best time. Both of us (not dogs!) went paddle boarding and swimming. The wee touches were just amazing – the scenery is beautiful! We were lucky enough to see a barn owl on our last night! The 3 horses are so friendly. Thank you ever so much.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
We have enjoyed relaxing, paddleboarding (humans and dogs!) and making pizzas. We followed the riverside walk and got a little lost but enjoyed it all the same!
The dogs have enjoyed taking dips in the loch and running through the long grass. Would definitely recommend and would love to return.

We have had the most amazing time. This place is something else. From the minute we got here we were relaxed and so comfortable doing nothing but listen to the birds.
We cannot wait to come back.
From the paddle boarding to the fire bath and all the lovely deer, its just brilliant. The walk up Ruberslaw was tough but worth it. To top it off we had the best weather – perfect!!
Thanks so much, Beccy, Craig and Wilson

What an amazing location and cosy home – the peace, quiet and calmness was just what was needed.
Am a big fan of glamping in Northumberland and Scotland but never stayed anywhere with its own Lochan and magnificent views like this! Loved the walks to see the deer and even braved the paddle boarding – so much fun and laughter – and jumping into hot tub afterwards was divine.We will be back and book soon as I can see and understand why you are booked solid – you must be so proud of this incredible project!

Idyllic spot and a beautiful few days away from it all. First attempt ever at paddleboarding and couldn’t have wished for a more scenic and tranquil location, not to mention the amazing bath to warm up in.
Gorgeous walk up to Ruberslaw so we didn’t hear a peep out of the dogs who happily snoozed by the fire for the rest of the day.
Thank you for all the homely touches, from the fresh eggs to the bath robes. WE would all love to be back.
Love, Angie, Mike and Milly and Apple (dogs)

What a place to be brought to as a surprise location for my 30th Birthday!
Thank you both for all the little touches in Tiny Home. I can’t believe we only came from Kelso to find this beautiful spot and feel so lucky to have had a couple of days retreat here.
Morning yoga, cold plunges, wild swimming, climb up Ruberslaw, cosy fire, comfy bed, food and drink and THE HOT TUB! It has been a fantastic stay.
We would love to come back here again and again. All the best for the rest of the year.

Wanted a peaceful, secluded break to ‘get away from it all’ and relax for a few days. Tiny Home was the absolute perfect place to do it! Fab wee house with everything you could need and more in such a spectacular location. Thank you for an amazing place to stay! Leaving feeling super refreshed and planning to book again to experience it in the summer (maybe last a bit longer in the water then!)

​PS Thanks for all the fresh, tasty treats. If it’s not a secret, I’d love to know the muesli recipe cos I could happily eat that all day.

Exactly everything we wanted from a few nights away in the middle of nowhere. A beautiful home from home made by lovely people.
Hope it has all the success in the world along with future sites.
Love, Jack and Nicole
​PS We will be back in 20 years​

We have had such a wonderful, relaxing time away. Everything we were looking for!
The bath was amazing!
Our Labrador had a brilliant time too.
Thank you!
Peta and Gareth,
We will be back again.
NOVEMBER 2022
A lovely stay in a beautiful location. Cosy and quirky, nice walks and enjoyed seeing the horses (very friendly).
Paddle boarding was great in the sunrise, even the minus 4 weather didn’t put us off. Will highly recommend to everyone for a chilled stay away!
Thank you, Cathy and Scott
FEBRUARY 2023
We had an amazing stay! From the pizza oven to the outdoor bath, it truly was so peaceful. We couldn’t brave the Lochan but climbed Ruberslaw which was a great space to escape.
Bed was so cosy, the fire was gorgeous and everything was so well thought out. We would love to come back in summer. Thank you

Our second time visiting but this time in the winter and it’s just as enjoyable.
Made good use of the hot tub even in the rain and its still as relaxing as ever. Lovely little extra touches as always. I’m sure we will be back again.
Thank you,
Nathan, Charlotte and Louis (the dog)
JANUARY 2023
A winter wonderland for our stay! It has been so special to be here in the snow and ice. We can tick ice baths off our bucket list!
We can’t thank you enough for being the most generous hosts and going out of your way to help make our stay so special. We will be back for the summer experience for sure!
See you then,
Rebecca, Chris and Molly

David and Claire,
You’ve created such a beautiful spot. We had a really lovely few days taking in the surroundings and unwinding. From the bath to the little added extras– everything was perfect. We had great weather and woke up to a snowy wonderland on our final day – bliss!
I’m sure we will be back again soon.
Massive Thank you!
Chloe and Joe
JANUARY 2023
What a fabulous find! We had such a great couple of days. Two swims in the lochan – chilly but fantastic – and a hot bath in the wind and rain. Perfect.
Every detail is so well thought through and we had everything we needed. We will be recommending to friends – and returning ourselves.
Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful 30th Birthday break! So peaceful – a perfect escape from reality!
We loved the pizza oven and diving into the wood fired bath after a dip in the Lochan. We hope to return!

MARCH 2023
Thank you to the owners – you’ve made a lovely little escape, it’s absolutely stunning!
We came for our anniversary and I can happily say this blows a hotel stay out of the water – this is 100 times better.
The loch was great for paddleboarding, the bath was lovely afterwards and building a fire each night made it feel just that little bit more romantic.
Thankyou!

Claire and David,
Thank you for a wonderful few days of tranquillity and luxury. We loved the cabin and all the thoughtful touches.
Fantastic views and a walk up Ruberslaw is well worth it as are all the Tiny Home walking routes. We’d love to come back!

Unique, quirky, a sanctuary – just the two of us sharing the log fired hot tub sipping flutes of champagne in the rain on New Year’s Eve. Too cloudy for the moon and stars so the only light shone from Tiny Home Borders and the only sound was the water bubbling down the hillside behind us into the Lochan. What a way to welcome in 2023!

DECEMBER 2022
Unrivalled peace and tranquillity! Stunning views and wonderful walks, just what we needed for a pre-Christmas retreat.
Nothing too much trouble for Claire and David – they are fantastic hosts.
Loved the outdoor tub…….. what a lovely way to completely switch off.
Did the “Wim Hof Challenge” in the snow* and ice – highly recommend it! (if you dare!)
Will definitely be back to experience Summer 2023.
*2-inch-thick snow and ice – minus 5!!

DECEMBER 2022
The perfect cosy cabin to spend the coldest days of the last ten years! In such beautiful surroundings – amazing to see the trees heavy with frost, gorgeous skies, and on the 13th December, the Geminids meteor shower. We loved the walk up to the Waterloo Monument and the hot soup and fire after at the visitor centre café. Seeing the beach covered in snow at Bamburgh was memorable too. We will definitely be back in warmer times to have a go at paddle boarding (we weren’t brave enough to break the ice on the lochan!) We simultaneously learned the meaning of Coorie and fully experienced it. Thank you for everything Claire and David.

“Small but perfectly formed” - the cabin exceeded our expectations on every level. The quality of the build, the fixtures and fittings, the extra touches. Everything we could need and beyond.
The location is so unique – we didn’t leave – just admired the views, the deer and the ever-changing skyline.
We ate like kings, enjoyed the meat from the farm, soaked in the outdoor bath. We walked up Ruberslaw – quite a challenge, but worth it for the views! Ventured out on the lake.
Thank you for everything, we’ve so enjoyed relaxing away from our busy lives.
Andy and Pip
Thank you for the most magical stay. Perfect hosts – thanks for helping us out when we needed it – nothing was too much trouble. The BBQ Pack is hands down the best meat we have ever tasted – absolutely delicious. Fresh eggs and home-made bread made for the dream breakfast. We had a frosty night in the hot tub, absolute bliss and the cosiest cabin to come back into at night.
One of the best nights sleep too, so cosy up there and peaceful. Even in December we braved the water in the little loch and again for a dip in the hot-tub.
Not the closest, but we made the Holy Island of Lindisfarne our day trip which I can highly recommend. Took back cider and wine to have with our dinner! Perfect stay. Thankyou.
Kirsty, Gregor and Finn x
Thank you for an amazing break away! We came for my 30th Birthday as a surprise and I was blown away!
Scenic, remote and perfect. Enjoyed the paddle boards and bath, yet to have a dip in the loch.
James and Lyns
An amazing Tiny Home. Spectacular scenery.
A lovely long weekend. Especially enjoyed watching the bats and toads. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Phil, Debbie and Archie
Absolutely amazing place, my husband and I couldn’t believe the level of thought gone into the venue. We loved the bath, paddleboarding and one on one time this venue provided.
Rachel &....
Just perfect. Had a beautiful weekend and will be back. You deserve so much success with this.
Thank you
Paula & Jason
Visited for a birthday getaway! Gorgeous location surrounded by nothing but nature. Spent our time playing in the little loch, soaking in the tub and lounging around. We were blessed with nice weather for most of the stay so loved using the outside furniture for eating and chilling.
So peaceful listening to the birds and watching the deer. Binoculars were
a great touch. Bed is super comfy also! Loved the food goodies that were provided.
Thanks for having us!
Lauren, Bradley and Reggie
What an absolutely incredible place!!
We have loved every minute of staying here – we’ve made wood fired pizza’s, enjoyed splendid food from our BBQ and Breakfast Boxes. We spent all day paddling on the little loch and stargazed in the woodfired hot tub. It truly is the perfect place to relax and recover! We will really miss it. Thank you for having us.
Lewis, Emily and Willow.
Thanks for giving us the space to be together in nature and quiet in the hot tub……… aah the hot tub!
Lying watching the stars in steamy heat is a memory not to be forgotten.
The Tiny Home may be small but it is huge in what it offers. The little touches, the eggs, the bread, the granola add to what is already perfection. We loved swimming and paddleboarding and just sitting quietly watching the birds, the sky, the view. We will be back but not
soon enough.
Debbie and Gill
Back again to the wondrous Tiny Home! It's so good to know you are here. We've reconnected, re-charged and relaxed! Thanks for coming to the rescue on the first night - 5 star service to the max!
See you soon we hope!
Jane & Andrew

What a beautiful location - remote, scenic and all eco-friendly!
From the small touches of fresh eggs and artisan bread to endless amounts of logs! The stars came out for gazing in the bath tub outside and a frosty morning sunrise. Now for a swim and paddle board fun.
We hope to come back.
Tara & Steve
We had an incredible stay here.
From the hot tub to the fabulous food waiting for us on arrival, it has been exactly what we've needed.
Nothing could've been too much for our wonderful hosts - thank you for looking after us.
You have created a truly wonderful getaway tucked away where no one would guess to look. Thank you again.
Hamish & Emily
Our stay in the Tiny Home was just perfect in every way. We had great weather which was a bonus. The peace and tranquility we felt here was very welcoming, just sitting in the tub watching the stars or swimming and paddle boarding gave us such pleasure. The house is so comfortable and everything has been thought through so well.
Thank you
Janet & Tom
Absolutely exquisite!
Every little detail has been well thought out, from the complimentary bread and pastries, high quality towels and robes and beautiful smelling shower goodies - Tiny Home has been a delight to stay in.
We also loved that it is dog friendly! Our border collie, Digby, has had the best time splashing and running around the loch.
We will be back, thank you!
Pearl, Nathan and Digby
Utter perfection!
The most idyllic 'Tiny Home' and a weekend we will remember for the rest of our lives. So nice to pause life and remember what really is important. We are overwhelmed by the peace and tranquility - and the sun! We will most definitely be back, but please don't tell too many people about this place.
With love and thanks
Philippa & Colin
The best way to describe this place is "properly good for the soul".
You've created an amazing get away -the cabin is perfect, the views spectacular and the bbq box was fabulous.
We have loved our time here.
Suzie & Dan
What an absolutely beautiful place to spend our honeymoon.
We have loved every minute of our stay soaking up the amazing views and using the fantastic facilities you provide. We loved the BBQ pack, freshly baked bread and eggs provided as well as the other personal touches.
This place is very special and we will definitely be returning!
Emma & Nicky (& Nessa our dog)
What an incredible place, the views are amazing and the whole house is so well thought out. The food boxes are great and we managed to do pizzas on Greta too!
Found out I've got better balance on a paddle board than I do on ground and recovered from all the rowing in the bath with the best view of the supermoon appearing over the hills.
Thanks so much
Erin & Owen
