Wonderful hosts. Hearthstone is a lovely venue to be based for exploring Tweedmuir and surrounding areas. Facilities included a communal common room with a pool table and space to relax. The tack room was a great space to clean off bikes and dogs after walks and cycle rides. We will definitely be going back.

Fantastic stay at Ralphs place. The place is very clean and as a host Ralph is very responsive and proactive, there are also a lot of activities/things to do, e.g. Pool table, bowling (separate charge) on the property. The location is super peaceful and remote and very picture perfect. Great for getting away from it all. It is probably obvious, but your party will need a car/vehicle. There is a cafe literally across the road, but all other restaurants/shops are a 10+ min drive away. And the amount of restaurants and villages are many - so lots of choice for you. The location is central to lots of natural beauty and hikes which is exactly what we wanted. Also Glasgow and Edinburgh aren't too far away if you feel like a day trip. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay for our group on a recent fishing and shooting trip. Extremely helpful and lovely location, everything was thought of and even left supplies for our 2 dogs as well. We hope to be back next year!

A stay at Hearthstanes is absolute magic. Beautiful surroundings, peace and quiet, lush greenery, animals and a waterfall? Yes! From start to finish our communication with Ralph and Maura was easy. Ralph kept in touch with us throughout our stay, offering us a tour of his farm and then after our talks on our ride suggested activities we might enjoy based on our interests. The facilities were impeccable and super comfortable. We appreciate their patience as we navigated our first trip to Scotland. We would HIGHLY recommend Hearthstanes and the borders of Scotland to anyone wishing for a magical, quiet time in Scotland.
