Electricity, gas central heating and hot water are included in the price and the cottage is a non smoking property.
The Cottage has its own stone walled garden with ramp access and secure gates, secure storage for bikes in the adjacent farm buildings and access to our two acre wood with a path leading down to the small burn that gives the property its name. The garden has a BBQ (charcoal provided) and outdoor furniture for you to use. There is parking for 3 cars and there is ramp access to one of the entrance doors.
The lounge has comfortably upholstered rocking and reclining chairs and sofas, HD smart TV with freesat and WiFi broadband, available free subject to “sensible use”.
There are five double bedrooms: 1 with a super kingsize bed, 1 with a king size bed, 1 with twin beds/super king size bed, 1 with a double bed and 1 with 2/3 single beds. All the beds have premium mattresses and duvets, pillows and bed linen are provided. A travel cot is available on request, but please bring your own bedding for it.
There is a separate dining room to seat 10, and a high chair is available.

There are books for all ages spread around the cottage plus a range of toys and board games.
We provide loo rolls, bin bags, cleaning materials, dishwasher and laundry tabs.
There are tea bags, coffee, and sugar in the kitchen and milk in the fridge.
Cornhill on Tweed has a wonderful village shop and Coldstream - just across the border into Scotland - has a large Co-op with a cash machine, good Indian restaurant (eat in or takeaway), Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop, petrol station and of course, the Guards Museum. The Collingwood Arms in Cornhill has a bar, a bistro and a restaurant.
You can walk to the Tweed from the wood and there are several other decent walks that start outside your back door.
In a car, you can be in Berwick or on a beautiful sandy beach in 20 minutes and either Newcastle or Edinburgh in about an hour. If your interest is in history or the natural world then the Scottish borders, the Cheviots, the Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest are all on our doorstep and all provide excellent days out.
Golf, fishing and gliding can be found nearby.
We live in the Farmhouse next door and are available to sort any queries or problems but will not intrude on your privacy.

The Dunn family
It was home from home, we all loved it especially the children who particularly loved the private woods and gardens. We were made to feel very welcome from a very friendly couple with gifts on arrival. We will definitely go back.

Plenty of space, plenty to do.
The children were spoiled between playing in the enclosed garden, exploring the woods attached to the property or sharing the many toys provided. We were all fascinated by the housemartins and swallows building their nests all around the buildings and hearing owls and seeing bats as dusk fell. The cottage feels secluded but is easily accessible from the road. A perfect base for the many attractions offered within a relatively short drive.

Lovely place to relax and stay a little out dated but just lovely people and we will come back
Lovely and relaxing place to stay and re charge our batteries. Just a little out dated in certain areas. Could do with a set of draws in one of the bedrooms and a chair would be handy in the bedroom. Just lovely people and could not do enough for you . Thank you so much for your hospitality. Mary Hurst

Fortnight in Cornhill
Beautiful setting over looking farmland, lovely hosts who are very friendly and helpful. The only things that stopped this from being perfect was a lack of storage space, we had good all over the place as no cupboard space and this is the first property I have had to live out of a suitcase due to lack of storage in the bedrooms
