About this property

Greenloaning is a delightful traditional semi-detached cottage situated on the edge of the peaceful conservation village of Allanton. Comfortable and cosy, with a large enclosed garden and views over the surrounding countryside it has been completely renovated and is traditionally furnished to a high standard. It is very well equipped and offers full central heating as well a log burning stove. The cottage is perfectly located to enjoy all that the area has to offer including walking; golf; fishing; cycling; riding; the local historic houses and castles such as Alnwick Castle (Harry Potter), Bamburgh Castle on the beach, Floors Castle and Manderston with its silver staircase; the stunning coastline with the pretty harbour at St Abbs, and the lovely beach at Coldingham with its surfing facilities, as well as locally based quad biking, sailing, canoeing, and clay pigeon shooting etc. In the village itself, and a very short walk away, is one of the best local pubs/restaurants in the area serving real ales and wonderful food (and recently voted in the Times newspaper as one of the top 50 pubs for alfresco dining).

Long Weekend with Old Friends

Property was fantastically situated with an easy walk to the local pub which serves great food. Lovely big well kept secure garden (will bring the dog next time!), plenty of parking and a welcome pack with everything you need for your first night/morning. Lowri was helpful and easy to book with. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Greenloaning. The cottage has everything you need (including a generous welcome pack), very clean and the bed is so comfortable…the bedrooms are like hotel rooms! It is also in a perfect location for visiting the surrounding area and not far from the many beautiful beaches. Our dogs loved the large secure garden and Lowry also provides dog bowls which is fantastic as I forgot to take ours! Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the Scottish Borders.

Beautiful cottage in heart of the countryside

We absolutely loved Greenloaning. Tucked away and bordered by fields. The enclosed (huge) secure garden was heaven for our two little terriers who loved exploring all the nooks and crannies. The bed was so comfortable and we slept so well. Everything you needed was provided. Lowri left us a lovely welcome pack that was most appreciated after our long drive. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Lowri Huddleston

I live locally, just outside of Eccles with my husband Peter and three children. We had a holiday cottage with our last home and I so enjoyed meeting the many guests we had and making the cottage as perfect for them as possible that when we moved house we decided to buy a holiday cottage. I love the fact that many of our guests become friends and visit again and again.

Why they chose this property

We loved Greenloaning as soon as we saw it despite the fact that it was pretty run down. We completely refurbished the cottage, new floors, new windows, complete plumbing, Central heating, electrics and we even discovered lovely stone original fireplace behind the moden brick one. It is now lovely and cosy with the log burning stove making it very snug. The garden has almost doubled in size since we cut back the overgrown shrubs. Perfect to relax and enjoy the sun and the many songbirds, as well as well as a perfect place for the children and dogs to let off steam. We even discovered an old well (made safe by a new wall surround and grill).

What makes this property unique

Allanton is a lovely village and perfectly located to enjoy all the Borders has to offer, whether it be the beaches, golf courses, or country homes and gardens etc. the village pub is fantastic and offers some of the best food and refreshments in the area. Despite being located off the middle of the village, Greenloaning is very peaceful and is edged by fields on one side. There is a small children's playpark along the lane and the children can go there safely without having to cross a road.
Fishing for salmon or sea trout is available close by on the Whiteadder Water through Bluestone Fishing.
