    Nothing to comment as we just loved our stay

    Beautiful location, our hosts were amazing inviting us to local events , making us both feel very much at home. The cottage was very comfy, great strolls along the river.

    A wonderful private apartment, with owners who have great local knowledge. Friendly owners, but of course leave you to your privacy - but let you know to contact them if you need anything at all (as they are just next door). Great location beside a river with lots of wildlife and country walks. Really out in the middle of nature. Lots of birds up at the birdfeeder viewable from kitchen table and also a nesting box with a family of bluetits. The owners and the apartment really were spot-on.

    This is a charming cozy riverside retreat to stay at with plenty of walks along the river or into the woods and is exactly like pictures on line. Alison and Bill, hosts, give you a warm welcome and are friendly and helpful. When shown around first thing put on was the kettle, for a welcome drink especially if you have had a long journey. Cups out with homemade flapjack was a treat. It is a peaceful and a get away from everything place, so don’t rely on internet signal. Plenty of small birds about and a hooting owl at night, with an otter or two to watch out for. There is a cabin and small summer house you can use to sit in with a cuppa and just relax. It suited us very well and dogs enjoyed it too. It can take you 20-30 mins to get to a good inn/ hotel for some food and I would recommend the Allanton Inn at Allanton, the Wheatsheaf at Swinton and the 1902 Bar at the Dunmuir Hotel, Dunbar. It was a lovely place to explore with plenty of walks, not too far from coast and we even got over to holy island. There is all you need for your stay, even a dishwasher. Enjoy.

    There was nothing I didn't like. A perfect stay!

    Truly loved my stay here. It's in such a relaxing location! The unit itself was spacious and well appointed, comfortable and calm. The hosts and their family were some of the kindest people I've met and they went out of their way to be sure I had everything I needed. 🥰 The river and the walk along the river were so peaceful -- exactly what I needed for my solo retreat. In addition to the spacious flat, there is also a lovely cabin overlooking the river and a cute little summer house that guests are allowed to use (on a first come first served basis, but I never had to wait for a turn.) An absolutely wonderful place and one I hope to return to! Also, the Scottish Borders are beautiful in every way and worthy of a visit!

    The nature there is beautiful and the vacation home has a really nice garden to enjoy the surroundings during the day and to do some stargazing at night. The hosts were very kind and generous. The dishwasher was an unexpected but welcome bonus. FYI for dog owners: There is no fence around the house, so it is not possible to let your dog roam around in the garden unattended. However, a nice path into the woods and by the river to walk the dog.

    I was a bit nervous of the long single track lane that led to the accommodation, as there were very few passing places.

    The setting was stunning with river walks straight from the door, and birds nesting all around the cottage. Lots of interesting places to visit in the area, such as Duns and St Abbs. The owners were exceedingly hospitable.

    Nothing to really complain about, we loved it.

    Fantastic setting with scenic trails close by, all amenities available so didn't feel we needed anything more. Good views from accommodation too with added bird box outside kitchen, enjoyed seeing a Blue Tit nest building during our stay as well. Whilst there we met Alison and Bill who were super helpful. All in all a fantastic break away. Roads were quiet whilst we were investigating the area, felt remote and so part of countryside with more activity in the way of pubs/attractions 20 mins away.

    Cleanliness of accomodation and needs a complete refurbishment. Shower curtain was black at the bottom. Furniture was very old. I raised an issue with the owner and was offered a free night if I booked further nights however, I didn't want to return.

    Location was nice for a few days.
