Nearby Melrose offers a wider range of amenities as well as the well respected St Mary’s Preparatory School.

The area is one of great scenic beauty with the River Tweed snaking its way through the Borders countryside with its pretty towns and villages. Fishing, golf, shooting, horse riding and walking are all readily available. Kelso (10 miles away) is a thriving market town with a larger array of amenities including a racecourse, the historic Floors Castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe, and a championship golf course. Alternatively, Galashiels has a large selection of High Street names such as Tesco, ASDA, Next and Marks & Spencer, with Kelso now benefitting from a Sainsburys supermarket.

St. Boswells sits off the A68 which is the main route between Edinburgh to the North and Newcastle to the South, with International airports located in these cities. Berwick-upon-Tweed, reachable in under one hour has a mainline railway serving the East Coast, and a fast train to London taking around four hours. The new Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, has recently opened and lies approximately six and a half miles away and adds to the accessibility of the St. Boswells area.
