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 had the most amazing time with the family! Jasmine & Fenwick are so welcoming & friendly. Their farm is beautiful. So many adorable animals & even a real tractor for kids to play on. We’ll definitely be back.
Lizzie
Fantastic morning last Sunday at the farm. The peace and tranquility of the place, combined with the views across the hills and the friendly welcome made for a perfect couple of hours. The personal highlight for me was being so close to Highland cattle and just watching them graze. Such beautiful animals.
