stunning location and property. had all the essentials and for a fanily that loves cooking Jo had everything we needed. we had a great family get together and made some great memories! we were a bit gutted that the pub down the road was closed while we were there but not Jo's fault of course, just noting so future guests can call and check with them I'm advance as we had made plans around it being open.Garden Hen House | Oxton | Sleeps 10

very nice and big cottage! There are 2 apartments that can be rented separately as well as together. We had the entire house. Due to the large kitchen and the living room, it is also well suited for larger groups and families. We were traveling as 2 families with 5 small children. The house is also perfect for this. The surroundings are very quiet and beautiful. Particularly noteworthy is the info hopper with all the possible tips! We've never seen this so extensive and detailed 😊Garden Hen House | Oxton | Sleeps 10

We had an amazing stay in this charming stone cottage. The space was perfect for our group—cozy, well-equipped, and beautifully renovated. The host was incredibly friendly and communicative, making everything easy. Highly recommend!Garden Hen House | Oxton | Sleeps 10

As the responsible adult challenged with organising a group of guys mountain biking trip to Scotland, there were points in the search where I thought I was beaten when looking for accommodation which met the list of must haves, single beds, bike storage with electric feed for charging, bike cleaning facilities, equidistant to the trail centres, a reasonable taxi ride to Edinburgh for a night out etc. At first glance Hillhouse didn't necessarily tick all the boxes, but once I'd strook up dialogue with Jo, the accommodation host, she found a way to facilitate all our needs. What a lovely spot, only disappointed we didn't get the time to explore the area more, you could leave the handbrake on the car and amuse yourself from the doorstep. Great property, we'll be back and confident Jo would welcome usGarden Hen House | Oxton | Sleeps 10

How far ahead should we book a Scottish Borders hen house?
Summer large lodges and bank holidays need six to nine months for peak dates. Edinburgh festival season increases spillover demand. Book before mountain biking guides and spa days in Peebles.

Borders lodge or Edinburgh city break?
