About Quarter House

Tucked away in Scottish Borders, Quarter House is a beautifully appointed self-catering property that makes it genuinely easy to switch off. Among the standout features: a private hot tub, a wellness suite, underfloor heating throughout, and a wood-burning stove. It's particularly popular for celebrations and special occasions. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a gathering with close friends, or simply a chance to recharge somewhere lovely, this is the sort of place that gets the balance right.

The standard of finish here is high — Luxury Cottages curates only properties that meet a serious quality bar, and Quarter House is no exception. Expect thoughtful design, quality linens, and the kind of attention to detail that means you spend your time relaxing rather than hunting for a spare blanket.

Sleeping Arrangements

Quarter House is set up to feel like a proper home rather than a rental — the kind of place where guests tend to stop apologising for 'making themselves comfortable' because everything genuinely encourages it. Bedrooms are well-dressed with quality mattresses and bedding, and the layout works whether you're a couple after total privacy or a small group wanting shared space.

A cot is available for younger guests, making this a great option for families with a baby or toddler.

Inside Quarter House

Inside, Quarter House has a fully equipped modern kitchen with everything you'd expect for self-catering — hob, oven, dishwasher, and plenty of worktop space for proper cooking. The living areas are comfortable and well-proportioned. The wood-burning stove in the living area is the centrepiece on cooler evenings — there's something deeply satisfying about an open fire. A games console adds an extra option for rainy afternoons.

Wi-Fi is included, and the smart TV means you've got streaming covered for evenings in. The practical stuff — washing machine, tumble dryer, iron — is all there when you need it.

Outdoor Space

The private outdoor space is a proper asset — not just a patch of grass but somewhere you'll actually want to spend time. There's a gas BBQ ready for use, and the countryside views make even a morning cup of tea feel like a small event. Parking is private and off-road.

Guests consistently rate the outdoor space highly. It's the kind of setup that makes you regret not spending more time outside.

Broughton & Scottish Borders: What to See and Do

Broughton sits in the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders, just off the main road between Edinburgh and the south. It's a five-minute drive from Peebles — a handsome market town on the River Tweed with good restaurants and independent shops. Walkers love the John Buchan Way, which passes through the village, and the cycling here is superb. Sir Walter Scott's extraordinary home, Abbotsford, is about 25 miles east, and Edinburgh is under an hour's drive.

The property's location in Scottish Borders puts you within easy reach of everything the area has to offer — from local producers and good pubs to longer drives into the wider countryside.
