Chirnside is situated on a bluff above the River Whiteadder, with breathtaking views of the Cheviot and Lammermuir Hills. A 16th century dovecot and a lovely parish church, thought to date back to the 12th century, are just two of the village's many notable landmarks. The Jim Clark Rally, the only 'closed roads' event on mainland Britain, is held in and around the Borders every summer as a tribute to the village's native son.

Plenty to see and do in the area. A trip to the honey farm is worth it just to see the fully refurbished chain bridge.

Spacious and luxurious. Beautiful bath and shower room, great for relaxing after long walks. Huge garden with specatuclar views. Great kitchen, very well equipped and big dining table to share family meals. Very comfortable lounge to kick back. The lodge provided the peace an tranquility needed when living a busy life. I couldn't recommend highly enough and will definitely be going back.

The garden was perfect for our dog he loved it plenty of squirrels and visiting deer to sniff out and the views over the countryside were panoramic. It was our first visit to the Borders there were plenty of places of interest to visit even in October school holidays. We would recommend using Sat Nav for travelling about roads, are tricky. Blackadder Lodge is a beautifully presented holiday home, clean, comfy and cosy we'd highly recommend it.
