About your hosts

Fenwick and Jas reckon that outdoor, unhindered play is definitely the best. Well, second to actually putting the kids to use on the farm that is! That’s why the play area at Jacksons at Jedburgh is down to earth, imaginative and rustic.

We went on the Highland Coo date a couple of weeks ago. It was brilliant and so much fun. Beth was so lovely and they'd thought of everything. There were so many nice touches. It gave us some well earned chill time. We'll 100% be back next year.

We had a fantastic day with the Highland Coo’s for a double birthday treat. Great hosts & facilities. It’s surreal how close we got to the cows & babies & how friendly & calm they were. 💜 100% recommend to all ages.
