The Barn at Dormouse Cottage

About The Barn at Dormouse Cottage

The Barn is above a beautiful, hand-built oak framed annex nestled in the hillside with stunning, uninterrupted views of the Ettrick Valley.

The Barn is situated within a three acre paddock with a wee burn at the bottom of the field so there is lots of space for the little ones (and not so little ones!) to run about.

As you enter from the external, private staircase you are welcomed into the open plan, communal living area with a fully fitted kitchen and separate dining area for four people. There are two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, the other is fitted with twin beds. There is plenty of space in each room for a travel cot should that be a requirement. The bathroom offers a comfy, fully fitted bathroom with P-shape shower over bath, toilet and basin.

Please note that the access to the Barn is via a staircase with a handrail, there is no other access so please be aware of this when booking.

All of our guests arrive to a freshly prepared welcome pack with the essentials to get your stay underway, this includes a homemade cake, bread, butter, milk, tea and coffee.

There is an enclosed, private outdoor area for guests to use with a bench table as well as a gas fired BBQ for your use.


There is off-road parking for a maximum of two guest vehicles.


Because the Barn is adjacent to our home please be aware that we share our home with our two cats, Labrador and two pygmy goats. We also have a small flock of chickens which supply us and our guests with fresh eggs.

We are generally on-site to welcome you on arrival and if you need further help during your stay we are always contactable.

We are dog friendly BY REQUEST, we can accommodate 2x small/medium dogs or 1x large dog. We offer dog towels and a welcome pack for your dog too. A cleaning charge of £5.00 per dog per night is made and payable on arrival.

Set on a hillside, the Barn is a warm and cosy two bedroom self contained holiday home located in the stunning Scottish Borders village of Ettrickbridge with views out to the historic Kirkhope Tower and hills beyond. Ettrickbridge sits within beautiful scenery in the heart of the Scottish Borders with excellent walking and cycling on your doorstep. We have lots more information and guides in the property and OS maps of the whole area.
