We moved into Yetholm six years ago now and instantly fell in love with the place and the people. There is a strong sense of community and the people are so friendly and helpful. In all that time neither myself or Richard have ever been bored there is always so much to see and do. We started our holiday letting business a year after moving up here from the South, we have two other holiday lets in Kelso. We pride ourselves in providing a very comfortable stress free visit with everything you might need. Most of our reviews people say our apartments are like home from home and regularly come back. The Bothy we only developed this year so its specifically designed for guests to be warm and comfortable whilst maintaining some of the character. Our house in the Main Street was originally a shop like many others serving the many farm workers in the area. We both really excited about welcoming our guests and sharing Yetholm and all its history in this beautiful place.
