The village of Stow is nestled in the rolling Scottish Borders countryside just 25 miles south of Edinburgh via the A7 Trunk Road, and is within easy reach of many of the central Borders towns including Galashiels and Lauder. The village benefits from a vibrant community and plenty local amenities including its own railway station (between Tweedbank and Edinburgh), primary school, village shop (with post office), play park, multi-sports court, bowling club, health centre and town hall. The village has known to play host to a variety of family orientated events in recent years including the 'Stowed Out' music festival.

Galashiels (7 miles south) has a full range of amenities including large supermarkets, clothes shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, cinema and further educational facilities including the Galashiels Academy, Borders College and Heriot Watt University Campus. The Tweed Valley is also very close-by for world-class Mountain Biking. Other popular outdoor pursuits in the Borders area include hill walking, fishing, golf and rugby.
