Green Hope nestles in the quiet seclusion of the Whiteadder river valley in the Scottish borders. Once a traditional stone built cottage, now thoroughly modernised and very spacious and comfortable. The windows open onto the sparkling river, a country lane and woodland walks teeming with wildlife.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

    A wonderful private apartment, with owners who have great local knowledge. Friendly owners, but of course leave you to your privacy - but let you know to contact them if you need anything at all (as they are just next door). Great location...

    I loved the quite peaceful location. The scenery is beautiful around the cottage. The river running beside the cottage was lovely, and the wildlife was amazing to watch.

    The nature there is beautiful and the vacation home has a really nice garden to enjoy the surroundings during the day and to do some stargazing at night. The hosts were very kind and generous. The dishwasher was an unexpected but welcome...

Exceptional location beside the river, Green Hope exudes peace and tranquility. The most restful accommodation you're likely to find anywhere. "Green Hope" means green valley. A place to really refresh body and soul.
Residents in the valley for over 40 years, we have lived at Green Hope for 21 years.
The Scottish Borders are renowned for beauty and lack of traffic. Being on the Border these hills and valleys are full of historical interest, with wonderful castles, abbeys and stately homes. For race track enthusiasts, this is Jim Clark country, and the Jim Clark Room is in Duns, just 15 minutes away.
