ABOUT US

Rule Valley Escapes is a family operation who are lucky to offering some hand picked properties, sites and experiences in the Bonchester Bridge area. Our aim was to create unforgettable stays and events on the farm in the Scottish Borders countryside - a place to switch off, unwind and have fun! We are incredibly lucky to live and work in a such a beautiful location and our aim is to share this unique corner of Scotland with our guests.

Yes another lake photo but it is just so dreamy at the moment! 2nd pic of the shepherds hut which is almost ready to rock. We are building a lovely stone wall behind the hut. It’s such a work of art and hats of to the talented team that build!
The BEST place for a dip on a hot day. The whole family swam today including 1yo Coco! The lake can be reached from all or out properties….
Dreamy sunset from the shepherds hut tonight… grass is peaking through after the weekends rain too. Not long now 🤞🏻
Check out the view from our shepherds hut (excuse the lawn, it’s just been seeded). Can you name the hills beyond?? (Zoom in)
🌟 EXCITING DAY 🌟 The shepherds hut is in situ!!! We are not taking bookings until it’s ready but it’s all systems go, 1 month until opening? Maybe? Watch this space….
And here is the Rule Valley! When we have friends over we love nothing more than heading up the hill for an evening tipple! Here we are having fun with the cousins at the weekend. #makingmemories #holidays #outdoorfun #eildons #ruberslaw #rulevalley
You may have noticed that Doorpool Farm House has disappeared! It hasn’t really, but we have been busy in lockdown renovating properties… moving, and slightly expanding! Please do check out our website to view our little venture…
