We are a family of 3. Bruce (hubbie) and I (Lorraine) both work from home - Bruce is a web developer and I run an online training company. We have a 13 year old son who we love hanging out with. In Scotland, we have lovely pets (they are looked after by others if you come to stay here and we only take them with us in the UK). Jess (black lab), Archie (golden retriever)
We love living here as it has just the right amount of activities or peace and quiet. We both love food so lots of nice places to dine out - cafe or more posh - in the area. We are close enough to Edinburgh to enjoy all the culture, history and arts there too. We are non-smokers.

Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
We have a gorgeous home in the friendly town of Innerleithen - 50 mins south of Edinburgh so easy to access the quiet of the countryside or visit the sights of Scotland's capital city. You can travel to our local train station (Galashiels - 20 mins from here) or if travelling to Edinburgh airport it's a 50 minute drive (taxi approx £60) unless you hire a car.
The house is on *one level with 2 double bedrooms (with ensuite), and another separate double bedroom (with sofa bed). There is plenty of space to chill out in and outside our home. Large living room and dining area with wood burning stove.
Gas Central heating throughout. Sunny kitchen diner with conservatory and another bathroom and shower. There's a large balcony from the living room that looks out over the hills in the borders - we are really lucky to live here! The house is decorated to a high standard as we love our home.
We have a weekly cleaner and we have a friendly pussycat, although we can arrange for someone to attend her needs (daily) if required.
There is a beautiful rock garden at the back of the house with little spaces to read and rest in shade or soak up the sun (yes we do have nice weather here!) in our west facing garden - patio for bbqs and decked area to lounge on the outdoor sofas.
We also have a double garage where you can store bikes (we have a couple you can borrow if you need to). It has a lovely, welcoming energy and hope you will enjoy your stay.
*There are about 20 steps to the front door but inside is all on one level.
Although we have 2 dogs they won't be there if you stay.

Beschreibung unserer Nachbarschaft und Gegend
We have the best of both worlds. Peace and quiet with dog walks into the woods and hills from our doorstep - yes the quirky town of innerleithen with great cafes, antiques and even a fairy shop! 10 minutes from the lovely town of peebles with many more quirky shops, restuarants and cafes or 50 minutes to edinburgh by car (we'll recommend where to park and travel into the city centre) - or you can take the train from Galashiels (it's 20 mins drive) straight into the city. We live a walkable (20 mins) or drive to the oldest inhabited house in Scotland - Traquair house with beautiful gardens and ancient trees. We are perfectly situated to visit many beautiful places - Grey Mair's tail (tallest waterfall in the UK) or the silence of St Mary's Loch. The Traquair arms has great food (beer garden too - dog friendly) and Saffron for Indian food where people come from miles around to eat. There could be a biking or walkers festival taking place nearby or enjoy our local theater in peebles for some culture. We really do have it all!

We would ask that you can just ensure the house is tidy on our return. We have a weekly cleaner who is local and very friendly so provided all dishes in the dishwasher so she can clean up the rest of the home. Some pet care (cat) if required we can arrange someone to do this.
No smoking, and no candles please.
