Location

Elmbank is positioned in the peaceful quaint village of Morebattle, in the Scottish Borders. The village, which sits on the St Cuthbert’s Way, offers a wonderful community spirit and is a short drive away from the local conveniences of Jedburgh and Kelso. The village of Morebattle offers a well thought of primary school, a well-stocked local shop and post office and the popular Templehall Hotel which has recently been bought by the community.

The historic market town of Kelso lies eight miles North West of Morebattle. Kelso houses a number of the major supermarket chains, excellent local shopping, several public houses and restaurants and many historical attractions such as Kelso Abbey and Floors Castle. Kelso also offers the world-famous Kelso Racecourse and leisure facilities which include a swimming pool, fitness centre and two fantastic golf courses, the championship course at the Schloss Hotel and Kelso Golf Club.

Jedburgh, which lies ten miles west, is one of the oldest of the Border towns and is home to many attractions such as Mary Queen of Scots' House, the 12th century Jedburgh Abbey and the Jedburgh Jail and Museum. The town has many professional services and national amenities, which include national supermarkets like The co-op and Spar, otherwise there are excellent local amenities such as a fantastic local butcher and farm shops that would love your support. Jedburgh has schooling for all ages, otherwise private schools like St Mary’s School and Longridge Towers can be found nearby. There are a number of sporting venues and clubs including a formidable Jed-Forest rugby team, a well-supported golf club, cycling clubs, leisure centre and swimming pool.

The countryside surrounding Morebattle offers an excellent choice of attractions such as Born in the Borders Brewery/Distillery, Floors Castle Estate, Bowhill Estate, and other numerous historic houses. St Cuthbert’s Way running through Morebattle is extremely popular with walkers, and the Northumberland National Park (Britain’s biggest National Park) is around a half hour drive away. Country and sporting pursuits are also readily available in the nearby area, including hill walking, salmon and trout fishing, riding, hunting and shooting.
Morebattle is a quiet and peaceful village but offers excellent links to Edinburgh, Newcastle and even London. The A68 provides easy commutable access to Scotland’s capital city and Newcastle. Berwick upon Tweed which is only a forty-minute drive away, offers a mainline train station and a regular service up and down the country, with London being only a three and a half hour journey away.
