    After booking we were sent a lot of very useful information about the area and facilities, restaurants, cafés, bars, takeaways and shops etc. We have stayed twice before, so we knew exactly what to expect.

Maggie and Archie Stewart
Plum Tree is a hidden gem on an organic farm in a quiet corner of the Scottish Borders just 3 miles from Kelso and handy for touring Northumberland. Plum Tree has a small double bedroom with king size brand new divan, super comfortable and reached spiral stairs leading from the open plan sitting room/dining area and galley kitchen. Sunny south facing cottage with wonderful views, walks and space. Plum Tree is very cosy with bio mass wood chip heating and also a wood burning stove and there is a pile of logs so help yourselves at no charge. There is a south facing patio with wonderful views over the Tweed valley and the Cheviot Hills on the horizon. Enjoy walks over Cliftonhill, our organic farm, enjoying river and woodland walks. The coast is half an hours drive and Alnwick and Holy Island about 45 minutes drive through wonderful countryside. Kelso is a bustling market town with unique and special shops, fishing tackle shops, cafes, Abbey, Floors Castle many stately homes and lovely Border towns.
I have been offering self catering cottages for 35 years and I enjoy the world coming to me! I also like to travel and especially Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Australia. The Stewart family all enjoy playing tennis and I like gardening, cycling, cooking and walking. I am a foodie and I would recommend good places to eat.
We live on a quiet organic farm and just 3 miles from bustling and very attractive Kelso and Melrose. Enjoy a game of tennis or river walks.
