Tiny Home Borders

Eco-Cabins & Private Lochan Retreat in the Scottish Borders

Located in Hawick, Tiny Home Borders is a unique hideaway in the heart of the Scottish Borders. With two thoughtfully designed eco-cabins on separate sites and each created for couples, this retreat offers wood-fired relaxation, private lochans for paddleboarding or wild swimming, and breath-taking hill views. It’s the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort.

Two Tiny Homes, Same Big Experience

There are two Tiny Homes on separate sites, each built from converted bale trailers and inspired by Scandinavian design. While they have slightly different outlooks and settings, both offer the same level of comfort, style, and eco-friendly features.

Each home includes:

• Wood-burning stove inside for cosy evenings.

• Fully equipped kitchen with gas cooker, fridge, and all essentials.

• Mezzanine sleeping area with a comfy double bed and high-quality linens.

• Private outdoor deck with seating, “Greta” wood-fired cooker (BBQ/pizza oven), and plenty of space to relax.

• Wood-fired hot tub with stunning views, perfect for stargazing or unwinding after a day outdoors.

• Private lochan with paddleboards provided, ideal for wild swimming or a calm float on the water.

• Breakfast Hamper with homemade granola, jam and marmalade, tea, coffee and milk, bread & butter.

Whichever Tiny Home you choose, you’ll have everything you need for a romantic, eco-friendly escape.

Sustainable Comforts

Tiny Home Borders strikes a balance between off-grid living and everyday luxuries:

• Solar-powered electricity with 240v sockets for essentials.

• Eco-friendly insulation and natural materials used throughout.

• Robes, towels, toiletries, and welcome pack (with homemade granola, jams, and local produce).

• Games, yoga mats, and a telescope to make the most of the peaceful setting and night skies.

It’s an off-grid retreat that doesn’t skimp on the comforts that make a stay special.
