The property is well-appointed with modern facilities and a fully equipped kitchen, as noted by guests.

The owners left a welcome pack of crisps, Prosecco, biscuits plus fresh milk from their own cows - a lovely touch! The cottage was spotlessly clean and had quality fixtures and fittings. The owners have obviously taken a great deal of care and attention to detail with the property. The bed was very comfortable, the cottage was warm and well furnished with everything you could need. Parking wasnât an issue as there was plenty of space in the farmâs courtyard. Mist, the farm collie was a sweetie too! Our dog had use of a little part of the garden which you could use to sit outside if the weather is nice. We were visiting family at Edinburgh which was just under an hour away so it was handy for us - Berwick was about 15 minutes away too, Eyemouth about 10 minutes and Dunbar about 30 minutes or so. The cottage had a book of walks so we walked from to Coldingham Bay and along the creel path to St. Abbs; it was a lovely 7 miles along footpaths and the beach, well worth doing if you have time. We would have liked to have stayed longer but sadly we werenât able to but will no doubt visit again. Thank you Barry and Elizabeth

The extra little touches and the attention to detail make it feel extra special. Every where you look, inside and out is a feast for the eyes. Barry and Sandra are very welcoming, with just the right amount of friendliness and being available, as well as giving you your privacy. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend
