    An amazing property with lovely view over the harbour and easy free parking. There is lots to do round about both in and near Eyemouth which is a pretty harbour town. We found it very relaxing which is why we stayed there. Loads of lovely eating...

We bought this Apartment in Jan 2008 and have rented it out since then. We love the location right in the midst of the historic Eyemouth harbour. You can watch the boats coming and going and there are always seals and swans in the harbour. We like being able to park the car then not touch it again until we leave. Everything is within very easy walking distance and there are some fanstatic shops selling local produce and freshly caught seafood. The beach is 2 minutes walk as are the local pubs and restutants.
I enjoy getting guests addicted to Eyemouth! Most guests return which is great.
