Bakery Cottage combines all home comforts with period furniture and country living. In a rural setting yet only a mile from Chirnside with a bank, shops, pubs and restaurants, the cottage offers cosy comfort indoors in the winter months, combined with the opportunity for healthy outdoor living in the summer. A Rayburn cooker provides not only cooking facilities, but also a cosy heart to the large pine-clad living room and kitchen, and central heating to all the rooms. Only nine miles from the Scottish/English Border and eight miles to the nearest beach, yet within an hour's drive of the Scottish capital, Edinburgh.

Notes on accommodation
The cottage is strictly no smoking and no pets.
It has been carefully and tastefully furnished in antique and period furniture and is the owners' own holiday home. We therefore request our clients to treat it with the same TLC as they would their own homes.
There is also CD/audio unit and DVD/Video player, in addition to radio/CD players in each bedroom. The stone patio which looks across to the Lammermuir Hills, is equipped with garden chairs and table for summer alfresco dining. The phone is there for your use, although excess usage must be paid for. Whilst Wifi is in the cottage it cannot be guaranteed always available as if it requires a reset there is no-one available to perform that.

Guest comments
We had a great time at the cottage. It was very comfortable and cosy. Christmas Day was white with frost and we took some photographs of the frost hanging off a variety of leaves. Louise and family.
We have now returned from our wonderful holiday. We had a fantastic time, your cottage is lovely and we really enjoyed exploring Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. Joanna.
Your home is just that, home and so homely, we all took to it immediately and settled in within all of 2 minutes. Everything one could want, we loved the decor. Ron Turnbull and family.
The cottage was very warm and comfortable indeed. We enjoyed returning there after our long walks and cycle rides. We bought some bird food which was rapidily consumed by an assorted flock of small and large birds including bramblings and the greater spotted wood peckers. GBS.
House swap
House swap considered. Strictly no smoking house.
