Step out from the crowd - Explore our beautiful Border country! 

Renowned both for its glorious rolling countryside and for a colourful often turbulent history, the Borders region with its abundance of attractive towns and villages will not disappoint.

Towns such as Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles, Selkirk, Kelso, Jedburgh, Melrose and Lauder are bursting with a very special blend of Borders character and charm.
Enjoy a land punctuated by imposing castles, elegant abbeys, stately mansions and dramatic ruins. Long held traditions combining the Borders folks interest, creativity and skills with a wealth of natural resources have ensured that shoppers visiting the region are spoilt for choice.

The sheer variety of crafts, skills and produce on offer is overwhelming. Quality textiles such as tweed, tartan, luxuirious cashmere, woodwork, glassware, pottery and jewellery, not to mention a mouth watering tableau of fine foods from locally caught Smoked salmon to the delicious fruity Selkirk Bannock and of course Carfraemill Oatcakes!

Opportunities abound for a variety of activities – archery, falconry, diving, clay pigeon shooting, quad biking, riding and canoeing,  Golfing, walking, cycling and fishing will bring a rosy glow to your cheeks and a smile to your face.

We are a hop, skip and leap (just 21 miles!) from the ancient and historic capital city of Edinburgh – sightsee and shop until you drop but whatever you do return to the care and comfort of Carfraemill each evening where we will look after you, give you a great meal, a very comfortable bed, a wonderful breakfast and a sense of wellbeing which will stay with you long after!
