About this property
This end-terrace cottage is located in the heart of the thriving fishing village of Eyemouth, on Scotland's beautiful Berwickshire coast. An ideal cottage for family or friends, in a convenient location, less than one minute's walk to the beach, shops and pubs. Creel Cottage is aptly named, as it is one of the oldest buildings in Eyemouth, and was used to store the fishing nets in between trips on the turbulent North Sea. The ground floor has a spacious dining room and the sitting room is bright and airy, a lovely spot to curl up with a book after a long days castle construction on the beach. The first floor kitchen is well equipped and has a handy breakfast table and chairs. Three first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this pretty little cottage. Stroll along to the beach at any time of year, whether on sunny days to picnic on the sands, or on winter days to blow away the cobwebs with the children and dogs in tow. As well as the sandy beach, there's also a good selection of cafes, shops and bars. Days out along this rugged coastline are varied and endless, visitors can enjoy coast path walks, watch the days haul being landed, play a round of golf or explore the nearby castles of this Heritage Coastline. A perfect cottage from which to explore this lovely part of the country.
Situated on the east coast, just over the Scottish border, and only eight miles north of Berwick upon Tweed, Eyemouth has been a bustling fishing port for centuries, and there is still a fish market supplied from local fishing boats today. Narrow cobbled streets preserve the ancient character of this delightful coastal town, and there are a number of visitor attractions outlining the history of the area. Visit Gunsgreen House and learn some of the history of the town and the smuggling that once took place, or enjoy the museum, fishing heritage centre and art galleries on offer.

Especially loved all the additional dog items and welcome pack. We have stayed at plenty of holiday cottages ( 20yrs) this is one of the best. Thank you so much x

The cottage is well equipped, perfect for the two of us and our two dogs. The property is quite spacious upstairs with a further two bedrooms we didn't use. Just a stones throw from the beach for morning walks leading to lovely coastal paths if you want to venture further afield with pubs nearby upon your return. The locals were all really friendly, the weather was good and the cottage owner went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Many thanks.
