Dear Guests,
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. It is with much regret that John and I have decided to close our farmhouse bed and breakfast until the foreseeable future, due to John's health. We will review the situation after the New Year. In the meantime, if you are intending having a holiday this year, we would be happy to offer you a self-catering cottage for a minimum of 3 nights. We thank you for your recent business and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Kind regards John and Sheila Shel
You will be warmly welcomed and cared for on our 400 acre sheep and arable farm in a lovely peaceful valley only 2 miles from Hawick.
We have two letting rooms for bed and breakfast:
l. Family room - consisting of a double and twin in one large room and a small twin with en-suite shower in adjoining room. Cost £37.50 per adult and reduced rates for children.
2. Double room - with kingsize bed & private bathroom with large Victorian bath. Cost £35.00 per person. Single occupancy £60.
Wiltonburn is situated at the end of a road so we offer tranquillity without isolation.
Relax in the garden or practise your putting or have a game of croquet on the lawn, or walk to the award-winning Wilton Lodge Park on the banks of the River Teviot. The park extends to over 100 acres with riverside and tree lined walks and a walled garden with superb floral displays. The Hawick Museum and Scott Gallery reflect the town's history and also house exhibitions including one on 'Hizzy' - Steve Hislop the late motorcycling champion.
Hawick in Teviotdale is the largest of the Border towns and is internationally famous for its quality cashmere knitwear. You will find big names and small businesses whose products can be bought in the many specialists shops including Wiltonburn Country Cashmeres at Wiltonburn Farm. You can also see garments in production at Hawick Cashmere Company, or visit Johnstons of Elgin new knitwear shop.
The Heart of Hawick encompasses the Heritage Hub, cinema/theatre exhibitions, café bar, workshop spaces, and tourist information centre. The Heritage Hub is also the home of the Scottish Borders archive and local/family history centre. While the Teviotdale Leisure Centre is a wet/dry activity centre that caters for all the family.
