Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends.
Whitchester Christian Centre, Hawick, Upper Teviotdale, Scottish Borders, sleeps 12-22 in 12 bedrooms.

Whitchester operates as a non-denominational Christian retreat and is also available to family groups looking to come together in a large country house in the Scottish Borders, or for business groups or other organisations looking for a comfortable venue for an informal residential event. Sorry - no stag or hen parties.

Respectful guests are welcome to come and enjoy the peace and tranquility of Teviotdale. Whitchester is ideally situated to explore the rich history of the Scottish Borders' castles and abbeys, excellent for walking and cycling or just soaking up the quiet atmosphere. Hawick is nearby for exploring and eateries.

Whitchester is a traditional stone-built house over two floors. The large reception area has an elegant quarter turn staircase to the first floor. For socialising with your group, there's a large lounge with an open fireplace extending out to a modern conservatory. The dining room is versatile and can seat up to 22 people in different configurations. A snug is in the heart of the main house and creates an alternative sitting room. The kitchen is a fully functioning commercial kitchen with a separate wash-up area with dishwashers. There is WiFi throughout the house.

An annex with 2 bedrooms is suitable for persons with disabilities (wheelchair accessible) with en suite wet rooms. There is also an art room and kitchen in the annex to enable it to be self sufficient.

A lift to the first floor gives accessibility for those who might struggle with stairs, and there are two downstairs loos. The first floor consists of the main bedroom suite (Buccleuch) with a small kitchen, a featured room and 3 standard double or twin rooms. The second floor consists of 2 featured rooms, a standard double room and 2 single rooms. All the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, and most can be configured as either twins or a double. The beds and mattresses are all hotel standard.

The grounds include a large lawn area, ideal for a game of croquet, a wooded area and a walled garden. Outside seating is provided to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the gardens.
