Why stay here ...
Our CL at The Bairnkine is situated on our working farm of almost 1100 acres, nestling below The Cheviot Hills. Adults, children and pets are welcome and we encourage you to take a walk on the farm using our established walks deer, duck, squirrel and badger walk. You can also walk to some of our ponds and watch the wildlife and birds.
The site is located just off our farm drive and offers five hardstanding pitches, all with electric hook up and space for awnings. Wifi is free. There is a water point - please note our water is from our own private supply.
We are situated approximately an hour's drive from Newcastle, Carlise and Edinburgh; so a great base for exploring the Scottish Borders. Jedburgh is only three miles away with Mary Queen of Scots house, Jedburgh Jail and Jedburgh Abbey and some lovely coffee shops too. Other Border towns which have lots to see and do in are Kelso, Hawick and Melrose.
There are lots of activities in the area including fishing, mountain biking, walking or horse riding. We can help you organise these activities.
Come and stay with us in the Borders and relax doing as little or as much as you want!

A good base for exploring the eastern and central Scottish Borders
The Bairnkine
This proved to be a lovely base for exploring the Scottish Borders with the Abbeys and other points of local interest such as Abbotsford - the home of Sir Walter Scott and lovely Border towns such as Kelso, Jedburgh and Melrose. The site itself offers fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and views towards the hills and Keilder Forrest across the Border. The pitches have a pronounced slope from back to front so you will find you unit quite high at the front to provide a level floor inside! I recommend you purchase some of the lamb products available from the owners which are absolutely delicious. We were there in August and never exceed the 10kwh allowance provided as part of the pitch fee. Give it a go if you are in the Border area you wont be disappointed.
Lovely CL very beautiful and relaxing place to stay
The Bairnkine
We Drove 4 hours with our Caravan,and arrived with the information already sent to my phone on what to expect and the pitch number allocated. Lovely clean site.
Water and bins for rubbish. Plus Elson empty area in a different part easy reach, with water hose,
The wifi was very good.
Couldn't get a tv signal so the wifi was used to for the firestick. Place's of interest, jedburgh, Kelso, nearby.
Northumberland, corbridge, hexham, well worth a visit, also alnwick, and rothbury. And cragside.
We intended to come back here for more adventures 5 of of 5 in our opinion.Hopefully but some lamb from the farm. Next time.
Fantastic Site.

Peace & quiet with beautiful views
The Bairnkine
We stayed here for 2 nights to break our journey from further north. The site was easy to find thanks to the email from Lucy. It was in a lovely sheltered setting with views over farmland out to the hills.
The site was very clean & tidy with easy access. We followed one of the farm walks which was great & easy to navigate.
A few minutes from Jedburgh with all its facilities & a great place to stay to explore border country.
Wonderful farm stay
The Bairnkine
Lovely peaceful site with great views. Slightly sloping gravel pitches so blocks required. Good facilites. Great farm walks on 3 clearly marked trails. Spotted roe deer with fawns. Owls at night the only sound.
Close to Jedburgh which has a carpark that accommodates motorhomes for visiting the town. Recommend the Abbey audio tour.
Would have happily stayed longer if we had not already booked elsewhere for our onward trip.
