Coldstream is a picturesque town full of Scottish charm and character and is home to the Coldstream Guards, one of the oldest regiments in the British Army. Coldstream offers a range of amenities and local shops including a Co-op supermarket, a first-class butcher and baker, a medical centre, an excellent children’s playpark and several take away restaurants. Coldstream also offers a number of local attractions such as the Coldstream Museum and the well regarded Hirsel Golf Club.


The historic market town of Kelso lies 11 miles due west of Babington Cottage. Kelso houses a number of the major supermarket chains, excellent local shopping, several public houses and restaurants and a number of historical attractions such as Kelso Abbey and Floors Castle. Kelso also offers the world famous Kelso Races Course and leisure facilities which include a swimming pool, fitness centre and 2 fantastic golf courses, the championship course at the Schloss Hotel and Kelso Golf Club.


The countryside surrounding the cottage offers an excellent choice of attractions such as The Hirsel, Paxton House and numerous other historic houses, and the particularly beautiful coastline around St Abbs and Coldingham. The Northumberland National Park (Britain’s biggest National Park) and the Cheviot Hills are only a 20 minute drive from Babingtons Cottage and the historic towns of Melrose and Jedburgh are also nearby.


Babingtons Cottage is a quiet and peaceful area but offers excellent links to Edinburgh, Newcastle and even London.
