The Details

Nestled into the natural contours of an old stone quarry, The House in the Hill is a breathtaking eco retreat where contemporary design and unspoilt Scottish scenery work in perfect harmony. Hidden beneath a living roof of wildflowers and framed by rolling farmland, this off-grid sanctuary feels as though it has grown straight out of the hillside. From the moment you arrive, uninterrupted views spill out in every direction, inviting you to slow down, exhale and settle into a gentler rhythm of life.

Inside, the spacious open-plan living area wraps you in warmth and calm. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in the light, turning every hour of the day into a cinematic backdrop, while the wood-burning stove adds a comforting glow for those atmospheric evenings in. The modern kitchen, reclaimed materials and soft neutral palette create a luxurious yet grounded space that feels beautifully connected to the landscape outside. Throw open the sliding doors and step onto the expansive terrace, the perfect spot for alfresco breakfasts, lazy lunches or sunset drinks after a day exploring the Scottish Borders.

Two serene bedrooms offer peaceful sanctuaries, each with its own picture-frame view so you can watch the hills shift and the sky blush pink without leaving the comfort of your bed. The master bedroom features a stylish ensuite, while the second room has access to a sleek adjacent shower room. Every detail has been designed with sustainability in mind, from the reclaimed wood and recycled metal to the energy-efficient insulation and the house’s entirely off-grid power, sourced from solar and ground-source systems.

Step outside and the hillside becomes part of your stay. A striking staircase leads to the roof terrace, where 360° views across the Borders landscape make morning coffees and starlit nights equally magical. A wood-fired hot tub invites you to sink into warm water beneath vast skies, while the BBQ area sets the scene for easy outdoor dinners with friends and family. Adventurers will appreciate the dedicated drying room, complete with e-bike charging, ensuring all your gear stays ready for the next outing.

With Roman roads to hike, scenic bike trails to roam, charming market towns to wander and mouth-watering local food to discover, The House in the Hill is perfectly placed for exploring both the Scottish Borders and nearby Northumberland. Whether you’re unwinding, adventuring or simply soaking up the tranquillity, this low-impact luxury retreat offers a truly unforgettable escape.
