Perfect!
We had a wonderful time - Cottage is perfectly placed - 50 yds from a choice of wonderful walks left to the Harbour & on to St Abbs Head, or turn right to Coldingham and beyond. Very impressed with the accommodation - cosy and comfortable. Could not have asked for a better place to stay, and the Tunnocks wafers were a very nice extra - thank you!

Great cottage
This is an absolutely lovely fisherman’s cottage and is exceptionally well appointed and well equipped to a high standard. Downstairs bedroom for anyone who can’t do steep stairs, accessible easy parking. Minutes walk to the harbour and plenty of walks straight from the door. Owners were helpful and easy to communicate with and there are friendly neighbours. Would highly recommend.

Lovey cottage in a fab location
The cottage is older style but lovely and modern inside. It has all the conveniences ypu could want. Brilliant location and the garden was an excellent extra. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are steep. Fine for us but you wouldn't manage if you had mobility issues (there is a big downstairs bedroom, thought ). Easy parking right outside the front door. Would definitely stay here again.

Five Aussies loving the Scottish borders
The cottage exceeded our expectations in all aspects. It had every facility we could possibly want, everything was high quality, guaranteeing absolute comfort for the five adults in our group. Simon and Audrey were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us, close to wonderful coastal and rural walking paths; the harbour, the amazing rib boat ride and a great little cafe. The general store, four or five doors away was very handy and the friendly proprietors couldn't do enough to help us. As we didnt have a car, we relied on Graham at Premier taxis (01890 781 230) for connecting to nearby villages and Reston Station. Graham was reliable, friendly and helpful. Thank you so much Simon and Audrey, from Joan (Jo), Dan, Maggie, Des and Lorraine.

Vacation 11-16 July 2022
Lovely 3 bedroomed cottage, clean & comfortable, it had everything you would need and more for enjoying your stay. It has a sizable back garden with BQ, table & chairs. Hosts were lovely and nothing is too much trouble, Audrey & Simon are always available if needed. The area has views to die for which is exactly why we chose this area. It has cafes at harbour, Old school and beach which are just a short walk away. There is no shops, Pub/ Restraunt (nearest is Coldingham) except small post office so you would need transport if going for provisions. Coldingham Beach is lovely, shallow, great for water sports & clean too, it can bee seen & walked to from short cliff walk from cottage which is great. Overall it was a chilled laid back break for us with tours to Berwick, Eyemouth, Seahouses and Eyemouth.
