Chirnside is situated on a bluff above the River Whiteadder, with breathtaking views of the Cheviot and Lammermuir Hills. A 16th century dovecot and a lovely parish church, thought to date back to the 12th century, are just two of the village's many notable landmarks. The Jim Clark Rally, the only 'closed roads' event on mainland Britain, is held in and around the Borders every summer as a tribute to the village's native son.

The garden was perfect for our dog he loved it plenty of squirrels and visiting deer to sniff out and the views over the countryside were panoramic. It was our first visit to the Borders there were plenty of places of interest to visit even in October school holidays. We would recommend using Sat Nav for travelling about roads, are tricky. Blackadder Lodge is a beautifully presented holiday home, clean, comfy and cosy we'd highly recommend it.

We loved the lodge & surrounding area. The garden was enclosed, so my dog could run around freely. Had deer in front of the lodge everyday. Beautiful! The only negative was the mattress. It was so uncomfortable, we even flipped it over to see if it would be better. Iâm sure this is easily rectified by owner, so would have no hesitation in booking again.
