Response from Whitehouse Country House:
Thank you for your comments. We love the peace and quiet here at Whitehouse, being 3 miles from the village, walks to the river are wonderful even on a wet day..Guests are welcome to leave their muddy boots in the porch or wash them off at the outside tap.. Our kippers from the breakfast menu are from Seahouses on the east coast, known as the birthplace of the kipper. Kipper is a strong tasting smoked fish, so not for everyone, although well worth trying

Roger and Angela Tyrer have been welcoming guests to Whitehouse for over 20 years and this handsome 19th century country house has become a byword for hospitality, comfort and relaxation. The house sits in tranquil seclusion amid the sweeping countryside of the Scottish Borders yet is within minutes of the amenities in local towns and villages.

Inside, guests enjoy the comfort of the expansive drawing room with its deep armchairs and open fire, and the relaxed elegance of the dining room; outside, there are marvelous views from the garden and walks from the door to the banks of the River Tweed.

Spacious and well-appointed, all guest bedrooms are en suite and offer the space, comfort and facilities to ensure a peaceful and relaxing stay. Each room has its own distinctive décor and all rooms have stunning, uninterrupted countryside views.

Angela Tyrer's award-winning cooking uses the best, in-season Border's produce, including wild salmon and game.

From rolling hills and moorland to spectacular cliffs and beaches, historic towns and picturesque villages, tranquil rivers flowing through rolling farmland, the Scottish Borders offers something for everyone.

Take advantage of the many outdoor pursuits available: walking, fishing, golf, riding, cycling or mountain biking. For the spectator there's rugby, horse racing and many special events.

Explore castles and great country houses, abbeys and historical sites. Browse museums and galleries, gardens and wildlife parks. Enjoy concerts, theatre and cinema. Or simply savour the unhurried life of the Borders, its restaurants and cafes, its textiles and crafts.

It's all easily accessible from Whitehouse Country House, at the heart of the Scottish Borders
