Once the home of Milne Graden's Head Gardener, this Georgian stone cottage sits quietly in its own woodland grounds, a path from the back gate leading down to the river. Whether burrowing into a book from the library in front of the fire, or capering through the surrounding countryside, The Garden House is a rarefied retreat from the world outside.

Stillness, stone and
the sound of the Tweed
Hand-painted tiles, reclaimed timber, ceramics that look as though they've been accumulating for decades. There is a beautiful time-worn quality to the Garden House — the patina of a home that has always been lived in. It has a stillness to it that draws you inward, inviting you to pause over fine details and linger in its cosy corners. Meanwhile, the walled garden sits just beyond the gate; and the Tweed a short jaunt down the path.
