Location:
The Old Stackyard is set in a peaceful, semi-rural location on Spottiswoode Estate, approximately five and a half miles from the ancient Borders town of Lauder, which is situated half-way between the Lammermuir Hills and the River Tweed, and is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside.
The town of Lauder provides an extensive range of amenities ranging from a variety of specialist shops, small supermarket, coffee shop/art gallery, and a well-known hotel. The thriving old mill town of Galashiels sixteen miles to the South West of Lauder offers a fuller range of shopping facilities, which include Tesco, ASDA, Next and Marks & Spencer. The Borders General Hospital lies just outside the town of Melrose which is eighteen and a half miles away.
Local tourist attractions include Thirlestane Castle on the southern side of Lauder, nearby Mellerstain House, and Abbotsford House on the outskirts of Melrose. There are also a variety of outdoor pursuits in the area that include fishing, rough and syndicated shooting, horse riding, golf, mountain biking and a selection of walks that cross through the Scottish Borders.
Local schools include the Lauder and Westruther primary schools, and the highly regarded St Mary’s preparatory school in Melrose, and the much sought after Earlston High School.
The Old Stackyard sits in an easily accessible area with Edinburgh in easy reach via the A68, which also provides links to the north of England, as well as other Borders towns. The Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, has a stop at Stow which is approximately ten and a half miles away. Edinburgh and Newcastle airports - both international, offer an excellent choice of destinations and are approximately 39 miles and 80 miles away respectively.
