Why it may suit a fishing party

Guests staying at The Yair between April and September can fish for trout free of charge on the estate's own private stretch of the Tweed, making it one of the clearest accommodation-and-river combinations in the Borders.

How it fits the fishing

The Yair can be considered alongside suitable fishing in its region, but a river name alone is not enough: individual beats can be far apart. Best Fishing Scotland can check the actual meeting points, arrange guides, permits and equipment, and build realistic daily transfers around the final accommodation choice.

Questions to settle before booking

  • Exact bedrooms, bed configuration and single occupancy.
  • Meal times against early guide departures.
  • Storage and drying space for boots, outerwear and waders.
  • Accessibility, dietary, child and pet requirements.
  • Deposit, cancellation and minimum-stay terms.
  • Which fishing, if any, is included—never assume permits or a named beat.
