About this property
Perched in the village of Coldingham on the Scottish Borders, is this idyllic two-bedroom, end-terrace cottage, 15 Bogan. Enjoying a location with easy access to the coast and the local amenities, 15 Bogan is a delightful dog-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of four for exploring Scotland with their canine companion. Park-up in one of two off-road parking spaces, before making your way into your new home-from-home. Be welcomed into the spacious kitchen/diner, featuring a handy dishwasher and washer/dryer, where the budding chef of the group can whip up flavourful meals ready to savour at the dining table for four. If the weather is nice, why not dine alfresco out on the rear enclosed terrace, where your four-legged friend can stretch their legs as you dine? After a hearty meal, retire to the plush sofas in the sitting room as your pooch takes up their spot for the evening in front of the crackling woodburning stove, and select your favourite film from the Smart TV. As your eyes grow heavy, head up to the first floor where you will find two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, both with Velux windows allowing the natural light to flow in. Awake from a leisurely slumber with a soothing soak in the bath or refreshing rinse in the shower before embarking on the day’s adventures. Explore the local village, where you will find The New Inn which serves delicious meals and local ales, perfect for those evenings where you don’t fancy cooking! There is also a well-stocked convenience store for picking up fresh ingredients to cook up a storm in the comfort of 15 Bogan. The budding historians in your party can marvel at the stunning Coldingham Priory or if that isn’t your thing, make your way down to the golden sands of Coldingham Bay where you can beachcombe the shores or try your hand at an excellent selection of watersports, including canoeing and surfing. The peaceful village of St Abbs rests nearby and is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts with its expansive nature reserve, renowned for its variety of bird and marine life.

We had a great time. Having the stove was an added bonus even in summertime given this yearâs interesting weather!
