Both accommodation is ideal for families, and couples. Children very welcome and there is a large play park 3 mins walk away.
Civic week is a great time to visit Coldstream this year dates for the town celebrations are the 2 - 9 August 2009. Here there are traditional horse rides through our town celebrating the Battle of Flodden, the Thursday Flodden ride can bring up to 400 horses passing through - quite spectacular, usually lead by the Coldstream Guards. Every day has something on for children.

There are stairs in both properties. The Apartment and Guest House is in the town centre, so it more than makes up for the stairs. A certain degree of mobility would be required, so not ideal for wheelchairs.

You are located in the High Street so ideal for shops, parking and restaurants. There is however the most beautiful park (Henderson) and the Hirsel Estate a few minutes walk that has stunning views and walks along the River Tweed. Parking is available right outside the apartment, and a car park next to the guest house. Everything you need is close by. Edinburgh, Galashiels, Berwick are some towns to visit locally.

Guest comments
"Nice apartment in the middle of town so close to shops and a good pub across the road. The apartment is over 3 floors. It is just right for a small family or a group of friends. Everything we needed was there, very good. James Smith Telford, England"
"We went to Coldstream with our two young children for two family parties. This accommodation was perfect, much easier that all four of us crammed into a hotel room, and the price difference was minimal. Unlike a hotel room, we had a separate living room and a very well equipped kitchen, there was also an iron and ironing board which came in very handy after a 6 hour drive! Kirsty B

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We just love Coldstream it is a really beautiful border town right on the England and Scotland Border. The River Tweed divides the two countries, where there are lovely scenic walks along the riverside. We feel it is one of the most romantic border towns because of its history and its location near the river. The views are spectacular along the River to the Bridge and over to the Cheviot hills in the distance. Civic Week is Coldstream's festivities week, it is usually in August each year. A week of celebrations that includes traditional horse rides, eg. 'The Battle of Flodden' ride with up to 400 horses, fireworks and a torch lit procession. There is a traditional feel, with 'The Coldstreamer"'leading the parades. Coldstream will give you a real taste of Scotland!
