Quirky Historic Cottage in the Scottish Borders | Cottage in Kirk Yetholm
2 Bedroom Cottage in Kirk Yetholm
Set in the foothills of the Cheviot hills and on the edge of the Northumberland National Park, Gypsy Palace is an unusual self catering cottage with a fascinating history. Situated in the Scottish Borders at the most northerly point of the Pennine Way, the small village of Kirk Yetholm has been regarded as the home of the gypsies of Scotland and Northern England for over 300 years; Gypsy Palace is famous the world over as the royal residence of both Queen Esther and her son and heir, King Charles Faa Blythe. It is said that Queen Esther became very popular receiving the gentry from far and wide who visited especially to hear her words of wisdom, We have no idea how old the cottage is but records mention its existence back in the early 1800's.
The Palace can sleep up to four people, though its small size means its more suited to couples or small families. It is perfect for exploring both the Scottish Borders with its stunning moors and quaint market towns, and Northumberland with its spectacular beaches and many castles. Kelso, Jedburgh, Melrose, Holy Island, Alnwick and historic Berwick upon Tweed are all just a short drive away short drive.
Gypsy Palace has frequently appeared in the national press including:
The Times: 30 Serene Scottish Hideaways
The Scottish Field magazine
The Scotsman
The Sunday Times - article: Fit for a Queen
Tiny Living magazine
The Independent newspaper: UK's Best Holiday Houses
The Scottish Herald
We have also featured in many books and on websites all over the world including Lonely Planet, Buzzfeed, BBC Legacies, etc.
