Our most recent reviews....

 

Highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying at Steve’s place. We stayed in winter to visit the Edinburgh Christmas Markets and we made full use of the log burner, the warmth/coziness was everything we could’ve asked for and more. Location is ideal with beautiful surroundings and a short drive to nearby towns.
Overall:
Clean warm and cozy
Great experience and great host!

We absolutely loved our stay. It was so comfortable and cosy and everything we needed, plus more, was provided. The attention to detail was second to none - even a freshly baked loaf of bread, with jam and butter in the fridge. After a chilly walk on St Cuthbert’s Way we lit the wood burning stove and settled in to a restful afternoon with a pot of tea, plus a lovely hot bath. Our host, Steve, was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend it.

Steve was a lovely host, gave us a very warm welcome and had thought of everything you could possibly need. We really fell in love with the Hayloft, it is beautifully done and the perfect place to escape and relax in front of the fire. Plenty of walks nearby and pubs for a cosy meal. We will most definitely be back.

Fantastic hosts and a wonderful weekend away. Very thoughtful with homemade bread and all the amenities that you could want. The house was spotless and every step was taken to make it a wonderful and comfortable stay. The area is lovely and quiet and perfect for a weekend away with lots to do around and easy to access other places. Would definitely book again.

The Hayloft is a great place to stay. Spotless and very well kitted out.
From the Airbnb description and photos we expected it to be good.
More than met our expectations.
Steve is an excellent host, very friendly and wanting to make sure his guests have a perfect stay.
We will go back.

We’d certainly stay again.

Yetholm loft was a perfect, quiet retreat. Renovated to highest standard and absolutely spotless. Lots of interesting nicknacks around the place but did not seem at all cluttered. Better than we could have hoped for and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Steve is a helpful and responsive host and he and Jane had definitely thought of everything

Joan, Oct 2024​

 

The Hayloft was a lovely and cosy retreat. The attention to detail made it feel very homely. Steve was super helpful and gave us local recommendations. We will definitely be recommending to family and friends and hope to be back again ourselves. Thank you

Cosy and beautiful - the best AirBnB we’ve stayed in so far!
A perfect base for heading out on walks in the surrounding countryside, or for cosy days in by the fire when it was raining.
So much care and attention has clearly gone into the creation of the space, and we definitely hope to return.
Steve was a kind, welcoming and helpful host with local tips and ready to help whenever needed.
Just lovely!

Absolutely wonderful weekend away, in large thanks to this gorgeous cottage and its thoughtful owners. The cottage was beautiful, clean as a pin and filled with extra touches which made it a truly special place to stay. From being brought freshly baked bread on arrival, to the gorgeous bathroom products and soft towels, we felt very spoiled the whole weekend. Thank you!

Gabby, Oct 2024

 

The most beautiful cottage in the Scottish Borders. Steve and Jane really have thought of everything, and made this place a home from home. You simply couldn’t ask for more, myself and my partner enjoyed every minute and would recommend to anyone wanting somewhere to be truly relaxed. Thank you so much Steve and Jane, we will definitely be back x

A return visit for us to The Hayloft at Yetholm. This really is a fabulous place; a real home from home with everything you would need & more for a comfortable stay. Steve and Jane have furnished the Hayloft very tastefully. The bed is so comfortable and we slept well underneath the velux windows perfect for stargazing. There are so many thoughtful touches throughout, down to the homemade bread on arrival which did not last long it was so good. The location is excellent being well placed to visit many places of interest. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks for another wonderful stay.

Beverly, Sept 2024

 

This is a fantastic property with all needs catered for. The attention to detail is second to none. The hosts are very warm, welcoming and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would happily return. The extras provided on arrival were a lovely gesture. Thank you.

Laura, Sept 2024

 

We had a fabulous 2 night stay at the Hayloft. The property is in a beautiful, location in the centre of the village with access to many stunning walks from the front door. The Hayloft is spacious, comfortable and contains everything we needed for the weekend from the unexpected welcome pack of goodies to the comprehensively fitted kitchen and high quality audio system. Steve and Jane were excellent hosts and we will definitely be back very soon!

John, Sept 2024

 

Perfect place. You won't find a cleaner, smarter or more comfortable place on Airbnb. No stone left unturned. Great spot to base yourself for visiting the borders, Northumberland or deeper into Scotland. The beginning of the Pennine Way on the doorstep too

Matthew, Aug 2024.

​

Jane and Steve are friendly and welcoming hosts, the Hayloft is luxurious, cosy, scrupulously clean and has everything and more you would want in a holiday home.

Ruth, Aug 2024

​

What a treat! We had, of course, scrutinised the photos of Steve’s place before booking, but clearly didn’t compute quite how nice The Hayloft is. It’s self-catering as self-care! Be sure to walk through to Kirk Yetholm for a drink at The Border, the last stop on the Pennine Way, where finishers are offered a free half-pint.

Neil, Aug 2024

 

Gorgeous stay, the perfect property, Steve went above and beyond. Central in the village. Exactly what we were looking for in this cosy and clutter-free home. Every need was catered to and nothing was lacking. We will definitely be back next year. Only regret is we didn’t stay longer! Thanks so much :)

The Hayloft was even better than it looks on the website, from the moment we got there and were met by Steve, it felt special. It's such a comfortable and homely space, and you are not wanting for anything. It is one of the best stocked kitchens for if you want to cook that we have ever had. The walks from the doorstep were just amazing, we genuinely felt so relaxed after our 4 nights that it was a wrench to head home. We would highly recommend the Hayloft to anyone that wanted an escape that would make you feel like you were home. We will absolutely be back. 😊

Lynsey, Aug 2024

 

We had the most special few nights at the Hayloft! It is a cosy, beautifully decorated, romantic little hideaway. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and it exceeded our expectations in every way - the delicious homemade bread (still warm), the fantastic music system, the great selection of books and information about the local area and the super comfy bed. Wonderful hosts and a truly luxurious experience - we didn't want to leave!

Philippa, Jul 2024

 

The Hayloft is one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed at - believe all the reviews! It is perfectly placed to explore the Borders and the Northumberland Coast. There are also some good walks around Yetholm villages themselves.
Steve and Jane have worked hard to create a tastefully decorated and very comfortable cottage that is clean and fresh. It has everything you would wish for. We arrived to a loaf of fresh bread and complementary fresh goods which was very much appreciated. Showering and bathing are luxurious and the bed is super comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Fiona, Jul 2024

 

The Hayloft is a stunning place to stay. Beautifully designed with little touches throughout that made it feel like a home. A wonderful place to relax and unwind!

Stayed here for a weekend due to attending a wedding nearby. It was a lovely pretty location and the cottage was perfect. It had everything we could have needed and the bed was super comfortable. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful stay.

Lisa, Jun 2024

​

The most beautiful cottage in the Scottish Borders. Friend and I met for a weekend away and enjoy our stay! Steve was brilliant and gave us some great recommendations for the area. Some lovely touches on arrival including the bread. We had planned to go out for dinner but changed our plans to make the most of being in the cottage and being able to sit outside with the lovely weather we had. Highly recommend and will return! 😊

Lucy, Jun 2024

​

I was instantly thrilled when I arrived. A cozy, luxuriously modern cottage with l-o-v-e-l-y little touches throughout. And the perfect oasis to unwind at the end of the day, the loft was heavenly with its roll top bath. The impressive Playlist put together by Steve on the iPod, was all I needed to recharge. The surrounding foothills and Cheviots beyond are stunning! Walks are fabulous wherever you choose. Outdoor seating.... a great little spot too. One week in the Scottish Borders just left me wishing for more. You will absolutely love Steve & Jane.

The Hayloft ticks all our boxes. It has a good location in the Scottish Borders. The conversion is well designed and has been done to a high standard. The cottage is clean, dry, warm and well equipped. The accommodation is lovely and just right for the two of us. The owners are friendly and professional. The welcome pack - with home-made bread - is a real treat. In the cottage, there are details of walks in the surrounding countryside. There are good local amenities. There is a supermarket and other shops in Kelso and Melrose. This was a repeat visit – and I am sure we will be back.

William, Jun 2024

Absolutely perfect retreat, with superb hosts who have thought of everything! If you're thinking about going, stop thinking and just get it booked! We'll definitely be booking again :-)

Pauline, Jun 2024

​

What a beautiful place to stay. Absolutely everything was catered for and we didn't want for anything. The attention to detail was superb and lots of little touches made it very homely and comfortable. The renovation of the hayloft was first class and it was quality through and through. I have no hesitation in recommending the Hayloft as a place to stay and can honestly say people would not be disappointed. Thanks to Jane and Steve for creating this little gem.

Thanks for staying!

Had an amazing few days away, Steve was lovely and the property was immaculately clean and tidy. Great facilities within the property as well. Felt like home immediately and the freshly baked loaf of bread was just a bonus. Good parking and easy to find, very easy check in and check out instructions. Overall a great break away in a beautiful place and can’t wait to go back.
Thank you Steve and Jane!

Lovely weekend stay at Steve’s beautifully-converted hayloft. Such quiet surroundings too. Hope to return in the not-too-distant future.

Malcolm, Apr 2024

Simply stunning. Beautiful location in Town Yetholm near local amenities and absolutely everything you could think of inside the Hayloft. Pure luxury - especially the roll top bath!
Steve was a very friendly and helpful host.

Wendy, Apr 2024

​

We enjoyed a great four night stay at the beautifully renovated Hayloft.
Comfy lounge, nice kitchen and a fantastic shower.
The local area is a brilliant for hiking and Steve and Jane’s laminated local walking maps were a real bonus.

Alan, Apr 2024

​

The Hayloft was a perfect place for a relaxing getaway. It has been thoughtfully renovated with high quality furnishings and little touches that make all the difference.
It is in a great location to explore the Scottish borders with plenty of walks straight out the front door.
Steve and Jane are very friendly and attentive hosts who made us feel very welcome.

David, Apr 2024

We had a great time at the Hayloft. we felt right at home as soon as we entered and it was very easy to relax. Steve had left us a loaf of sourdough which we had for breakfast. Wonderful home!

David, Mar 2024

​

We had a wonderful stay at the Hayloft. Steve and Jane have thought of everything to ensure a comfortable and luxurious stay. We very much enjoyed the roll-topped bath after a day of walking in the surrounding countryside, as well as the cosy woodburner. We would recommend the Hayloft to anyone wanting to explore the glorious scottish borders. I’m sure we will be back before too long!

Emily, Mar 2024

​

A truly cosy and relaxing place to stay with great walking right from the door. The Hayloft is is very comfortably furnished and the kitchen is ideal for self catering. The bed is enormous and extremely comfortable and the wood burning stove (in addition to the central heating) makes it a delight on a cold winters' night. A great place to stay with lots to do in the neighbouring area. Hosts Steve and Jane have made this a great place to stay.
