A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE…
Tiny Home Borders combine space and seclusion with incredible attention to detail, creating a truly magical experience.
A responsible tourism choice, Tiny Home offers so much more than one-dimensional holiday accommodation, whether outdoors or indoors, the overall experience is seamless, unique and very special.
On arrival
Just a short walk along a private path and you are greeted by Tiny Home and your own private lochan.
Tiny Home One and Tiny Home Two are small but perfectly designed off grid eco-cabin where every bit of space has been cleverly used to create a unique and very special holiday experience.
And when guests step onto the generous deck and look out over the private lochan to the valley beyond they always remark how lucky they feel to have found such a tranquil place.
The only thing to keep you company is the wildlife and the herd of beautiful red deer which share the hillside location with guests (in their fenced off acres of course).
Essentials
Our top priority is quite simply to make sure that you have an amazing stay at Tiny Home Borders.
We have tried to include as much as possible within the cost to make it as easy as we can for you.
What’s included:
Off grid
Tiny Home Borders might be off grid, but these solar powered eco-cabins have 240v sockets, plenty of indoor and outdoor lighting, a fridge, and to keep cosy indoors, a log burning stove.
As well as outdoor barbecue and pizza oven, there is also a full gas cooker inside.
Dog friendly
Tiny Home Borders is dog friendly addressing the desire for dog owners to take their pets on holiday with them whilst enjoying a truly one-off luxury experience. We accept up to 2 well behaved dogs but we do ask that you please adhere to the following rules.
Please note that dogs do need to be kept on leads when walking in surrounding areas. Dogs should never be left unattended in the accommodation.
We also ask that you use the dog towels provided upon entry to Tiny Home. Owners must bring their own dog bedding and bowls with them.

For those looking to escape from the noise and stress of everyday life and having a bit of a digital detox. Spending time at one of our stunning hillside retreats in one of the most iconic locations in the south of Scotland, you couldn’t choose a better place.
With your own private lochan, you can enjoy a bit of wild swimming and with 2 boards available, you can also try your hand at paddleboarding.
The woodfired hot tub easily fits 2 people and creates a totally unique outdoor bathing experience. No noise, flashing lights or bubbles just a genuine a hot tub heated by its own log fire.

Stargazing
Tiny Home is extremely popular 12 months of the year. But of course, our hillside retreats are exposed to the great outdoors, cosy on the inside but we do get a bit of weather on the outside!
Tiny Home One has a special glass roofed canopy, which means that you can enjoy the outdoor seating area and views even more. And with amazing dark skies, guests can enjoy stargazing from underneath the glass canopy using the telescope supplied.
Walks from the doorstep
With our stunning hillside location, it will come as no surprise that nearly all of our guests enjoy exploring the local countryside on foot whilst staying at Tiny Home Borders. This really is a walker’s paradise and we have something for everyone to enjoy.
With views as far as the eye can see in every direction, you can enjoy the challenge of a steep climb to the top of Ruberslaw, you can explore our local hills and valleys or meander through beautiful woodland. All with some epic wildlife watching along the way.
With so many of you enjoying a walk or two while you are here, we have a range of special waymarked routes which take you from Tiny Home door to Tiny Home door.
The Scottish Outdoor Access Code is a practical guide for all, with advice on what to do in everyday situations in the great outdoors.
Sustainability
From location and build to the delivery of the customer experience, Tiny Home Borders is fully committed to responsible tourism. Tiny Home Borders works very closely with local suppliers and partners, from the initial build using a team of local experts to locally sourced materials and fixtures and fittings wherever possible.
With outdoor woodfired bath, indoor shower, eco cleaning products and luxury toiletries from East Lothian, meat reared on the farm, other supplies and extras all sourced from within a 16-mile radius of the farm.
Located in a rural location, visitors are encouraged to access the many walks from Tiny Home to the extent that many cars do not even leave the car parking space provided.
“ Thank you so much for having us at the Tiny Wee home. We came to celebrate a birthday and had the most wonderful wee stay. We had a lovely walk up the hill with the deer, fun on the paddleboards, a quick cold dip and the bath was the perfect way to warm up after. Quiet evening games and the most amazing Northern Lights. We’ll be back.”
