Superb getaway
This is a superb cottage, finished to an excellent standard and very well equipped. There is no phone signal or WiFi which some people may not like but for us that just added to the feel of having a proper getaway in The Borders countryside. You can’t walk on the immediate estate but that really doesn’t matter as there are plenty of walks in the area. What made a big difference was the warm welcome from Julie who looks after the property and who provided a number of extras for us on arrival, notably milk, fresh flowers, Prosecco, a large box of biscuits and logs for the burner. She’s also available to answer any questions or give recommendations. The cottage provides a great base for exploring the area and the coast is just over an hour away.

Wonderful property, tastefully furnished, and in a perfect location.
Fantastic cottage, with plenty room, and extremely comfortable beds, and linen. It would have received 5 stars from us if the lounge furniture had been more comfortable, with more subtle strategic lighting. An outside table & chairs would also have been great - we had fab weather during our stay!

Beautiful location, lovely cottage.
We had a lovely peaceful holiday in fabulous countryside with lots of beautiful walks. The cottage was lovely, in excellent condition, Comfortable, well appointed and very cosy. Julie the caretaker was very friendly and helpful. Red squirrels and a hare made regular appearances and lots of birds including an osprey and a kingfisher to see.
