About this property

Large country house with outdoor hot tub and BBQ house and lovely gardens.

Branxholm Knowe House is a large detached period property which is set in two acres of well tendered private gardens (recently featured by Holiday Rentals in Top 10 holiday homes with gardens). The house is furnished to a high standard and is ideal for entertaining and features a fabulous garden room which is perfect for alfresco evenings as well as fresh winter evenings with the log burner glowing.

The property benefits from five large double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate ten adults or two families. Four bedrooms are located around a galleried landing with two modern bathrooms (one en suite). Downstairs the sitting room and garden room, which is over 40 sq metres, ensure there is plenty of space for all to enjoy. The dining room provides a great setting for dinner parties (seats 12) and benefits from an open fire. There is also a twin bedroom downstairs with access to a bathroom.

Outside there is a six person hot tub, Finnish BBQ hut, two tables and benches, a pond (fenced) and woodland to explore.

Spacious house in great location
This house has it all. Beautiful garden with hot tub and bbq hut. Inside the garden room with log burner was a great place to hang out . Only 5 minutes drive to Hawick so we went every day to do walks and pick up groceries. We were able to cook a full Christmas dinner in the well stocked kitchen and enjoyed it in spacious dining room.

Stunning
This property lived up to the photos and our expectations. A fab living space and location for a relaxing break. The hot tub and BBQ 'snug' were great to add something special for both adults and kids. Thank you very much

Fantastic stay in this idyllic house in Hawick
We had a wonderful stay here celebrating my 30th birthday in December. The house is well equipped with fires ready to light for our arrival. The house did get a little cold later in the evening but given the fierce weather that weekend it’s not surprising. Gorgeous roll top bath in the master bathroom! Sad I didn’t hae time for a second bath. Hot tub was fabulous with excellent view of the stars (pretty sure I saw a comet) Overall a wonderful time was had and I would highly recommend to friends looking to host something similar in the future. Thank you for letting us stay in your home. Merry Christmas! Stephanie

We booked Branxholme for a family birthday and to go to Hawick Common Riding. We all Loved it.
Plenty of space. Everyone enjoyed hot tub, barbecue hut and even a 'short game of cricket '. Would definitely book again.

Large homely country house.
Large country house where our family of 10 enjoyed relaxing together. Plenty of room for us all to spread out. Large conservatory was a wonderful room with log burner and lots of comfy seating. The BBQ house is a great idea and enables BBQ no matter the weather. The hot tub was GREAT HIT. Perfect holiday for a large family. Thank you.
