    The place

    Sometimes, all you want, and all you need are the same thing. And sometimes, that looks like very little. It can be as simple as a stellar view of, say, the rolling Pentland Hills – complete with roaming herds of deer. It might be a morning cuppa on a bench by apple and cherry trees – as your dog nose nudges you to hurry up. Or perhaps it’s diving into a wild swimming spot alongside an eager hound. Well, if that sounds like you (and your dog), then look no further. A stylish respite from tech, The Wilderkin Cabin is as beautiful as it is integrated into the local habitat. With the whole of the Scottish Borders on your doorstep to adventure in, and a record turntable and the very best of the basics – this envy-inspiring remote retreat is welcoming dogs and their humans to live out their cabin daydreams in this stunning location.
