About this property
Ancrum 2.6 miles. Located upon Lilliardsedge Holiday Park, on the outskirts of Ancrum, Scottish Borders is Vendee 101 Main, a fabulous, two-bedroom lodge. With access to an on-site pub and eatery, whilst enveloped by countryside views, Vendee 101 Main makes a delightful abode for a family of four and their furry companion, also within distance of Northumberland National Park. Benefit from a designated parking space, before climbing the external steps to reach your abode. Be welcomed by the open-plan living space, complete with a compact kitchen, dining for four, and a plush corner sofa, where you can unwind with the gas fire alight. Prepare meals to be enjoyed indoors, or set the patio table for an alfresco affair, as the sun sets over the park. When sleep calls, select between two double bedrooms, the first benefitting from an en-suite shower room, and the second with a zip/link feature. Enjoy a refreshing shower before heading into nearby Ancrum to dine out and stock up on the essentials, whilst a hub of attractions lies in Jedburgh. The town of Jedburgh is a popular place to be, brimming with history and charm, where you can tour Jedburgh Castle Jail & Museum, take in the stunning remains of Jedburgh Abbey, discover the Mary Queen Of Scots' Visitors Centre, or play a round of golf at Jedburgh Golf Club, with picturesque vistas in the backdrop; there's also plenty of shops and eateries to take advantage of whilst on your travels. Travel north to brush up on your local knowledge at Trimontium Museum, nestled near the pretty grounds of Harmony Garden, whilst a riverside stroll will be possible, set near River Tweed. With the coast, countryside, and even the city of Edinburgh in reach, enjoy all of this, and more at Vendee 101 Main.
Ancrum is a small village in the Scottish Borders, less than eight miles north west of Jedburgh. The village sits on the River Ale and was the location of the Battle of Ancrum Moor in 1545, when a Scottish victory temporarily halted English raids into the Borders and lowlands. A monument, one of two local landmarks, was erected on the site of the battle and was then replaced in the 19th century. The other landmark is the Timpendean Tower, which are the ruins of a 15th century tower house near Lanton. Ancrum offers a pub, a shop, a butcher and a Post Office, whilst nearby is the town of St Boswells, plus the larger towns of Jedburgh and Kelso are well worth visiting for a mixture of shops, cafes, restaurants and the famous Abbeys, and also within reach is the world renowned Common Riding in Hawick.

It was warm, cosy, comfortable and well appointed. Very dog friendly. Some lovely walks around the site, along with a small shop for essentials and a laundrette. The only issue was the damaged door hinge, which we were warned of in advance of our arrival. It was a bit fiddly to open and close the door sometimes. But other than that, we would highly recommend a stay here.
