On warmer days, you’re welcome to use the summerhouse and patio, or explore the terraced garden.
Our central location makes Maplehurst an ideal base for exploring the beautiful Border country, or hopping on the new Waverley Border train up to Edinburgh (35 miles) to see the city sights.
Right here on the doorstep, there’s the Southern Upland Way and Sir Walter Scott’s magnificent Abbotsford House and within easy reach, you’ll find romantic ruined abbeys and imposing castles, busy market towns and pretty villages, gentle lowland hills and a wild, spectacular coastline – all within the catchment of one of Britain’s great salmon waters, the River Tweed.
