Lantern Cottages lies in a rural location about 1.5 miles south east of Newcastleton. The property has excellent access to part of the 7Stanes mountain bike trail on the edge of Newcastleton Forest.
Newcastleton, known locally as Copshaw Holm is nestled in Liddesdale, the south western gateway to the Scottish Borders. The historic village, with a population of approximately 850, has excellent local facilities and shops including a primary school, bank and post office.
