Welcome to The Bield Bed & Breakfast
The Bield is set on a working sheep farm, and is also homr to 2 donkeys, free range hens and turkeys and 3 spoiled housecats, in the beautiful Borders of Scotland.
The farm is a short walk from the small village of Hume which sits in the shadow of Hume Castle, a folly, built fromthe rubble of an earlier courtyard castle,destroyed by the army of Oliver Cromwell.
The historic town of Kelso is just 7 miles distant, and has plenty to offer the visitor including a ruin of an abbey and a racecourse.
Both sides of the border, Scottish and English has an interesting if somewhat bloody history. The Reivers, as the raiders were known on both sides of the border, stole sheep, cattle and horses, burning property and taking hostages to ransom. Their activities were encouraged by Edward I and Henry VIII in particular to keep things on the boil. The Scottish likewise egged on their raiders which led to an area between the two countries of great lawlessness.
In addition to it's historical significance, the Borders offers plenty activities, including, fishing, walking, horse riding, golf, swimming and cycling.
The Bield has two large comfortable bedrooms, one offering a kingsize bedwith en-suite bathroom, and one with either a kingsize or twin beds with a sofa bed making it a family room with an en-suite shower room.
Both rooms have a hostess tray, hair dryer, make up mirror and digital freeview television.
Each room enjoys views across open countryside.
The combined sitting / dining room, has a real wood burning fire and is very comfortable. It has a large picture window with great view of the countryside and the well stocked bird table.
The Bield sits at the end of a private road, which has no through traffic, and plenty of parking.
