Description of the holiday cottage |
| Charming thatched cottage in a tranquil setting surrounded by the beautiful Scottish Borders countryside. Well presented with modern facilities but still has lots of original features and full of character ideally situated to explore all that the area has to offer. Sitting in the middle of its own private gardens with lots of outside space. Larger rooms inside than your average cottage. Ideally situated whatever your interests are there is lots to do and never enough time to fit everything in. |
Best Features |
| The large living kitchen with vaulted ceiling has an electric cooking range, dishwasher and fridge, fully equipped to make cooking time easy and a log burning stove adds a cosy atmosphere during winter. Two double bedrooms with their own private bathrooms, one on the ground floor, both with lots of storage. Conservatory overlooking the garden. Large lounge also with log burning stove with door leading out to the south facing patio and veiws over the garden bordered by a burn and picturesque bridge surrounded by woodland. |

| Cottage Review:
We have stayed in several cottages in the Borders and this one is without a doubt the best. The cottage itself is peaceful and in a beautiful location without being too far from the nearest town. Internally it is airy and spacious whilst feeling like a home from home. It is beautifully appointed and the owners provide everything you need for a happy stay. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and a welcome basket are much appreciated but to be honest you will be more than impressed with the cottage and the lovely welcome that you receive. Book this cottage without any hesitations, however you might find it difficult as all the return visitors will be trying to get in first! |

We have had our second holiday at the Thatched Cottage this year. The cottage has exceptional facilities and the warm welcome provided by the owners made us feel like returning home. Numerous places to visit in Berwickshire and beyond. Will definitely return for another visit. |

| Cottage Review:
Got home yesterday after a week at this lovely cottage, I can concur with all the previous comments (all positve). This is the 13th property we have stayed in and was undoubtably the best. The conversion of this cottage is amazing from a dilapitated ruin to a real gem. Corrine told me that Ian and herself did most of the work themselves and then lived in it for 5 years before building another house close by. Beautiful location, not overlooked by any other property. If you book this cottage you will not be disappointed. |

Our third visit to this idyllic cottage in the most perfect location. The quality, finish and features are the best that we have ever seen. You could not wish for better hosts in Corrine and Ian. We would heartily recommend staying here. |

| Cottage Review:
After studying the website and reading previous reviews I had very high expectations before I arrived at the cottage, not only were my expectations met but were exceeded. The rooms are large, light, well decorated and immaculate and the website does not do them justice. Everything you could need was provided, from cooking utensil and food staples to magazines, books and DVDs. The garden provided the perfect setting and watching the visiting birds and wildlife was a constant source of entertainment.The location was excellent, a quiet village located near to several major roads, making travelling to all the attractions easy. I visited Berwick and St Abbs at the Coast and travelled inland to Melrose and Abbotsford. There are several guide books in the cottage detailing the many activities in the area including local walks, historic buildings, museums and craft centres. |

| Cottage Review:
We have just had our fourth holiday at this cottage in twelve months and considering that we had never rented anywhere before this speaks for itself. It really is in one of the best places in the Borders and is extremely comfortable,clean well equipped and homely. The location is very charming and peaceful with plenty of local interest and easy commuting distance to shops, seaside, moorland, stately homes, golf courses etc. The place is so relaxing though that it is quite likely that you will be happy to stay and chill out in the beautiful private garden. The owners are super hosts and are close at hand to ensure that your stay is the best that it can possibly be. We are always sorry to leave but have booked the Cottage again for another two weeks and so look forward to our return |

| Cottage Review:
This is a lovely, well appointed cottage set in the peaceful and picturesque Borders countryside. An ideal location for exploring the Borders and Northumberland. The owners are friendly and welcoming and provided suggestions about the many places to visit in the area. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked the cottage again for another holiday later this year. |

The accomodation at the cottage is first class. Exceedingly comfortable and very well equipped. Great location for sightseeing in the borders and the South. We really enjoyed our stay and found the owners to be friendly and knowledgeable about things we could do in the area. |

We have stayed in a few cottages over the years and this is one of the best by far. A real home from home. The owners go out of their way to help you get the most out of your holiday and have lots of local knowledge. The cottage has been renovated and to an exceptionally high standard. Very well equiped from the kitchen through to the bathrooms. A lovely part of the country in a truly idylic cottage. |

| Cottage Review:
This was a superb cottage, immaculate, and extremely luxurious. Every little detail has been thought out and you wont need for anything. Hosts were lovely and extremely helpful and chatty in a really nice way. A few mins drive to local facilities and everything you need is there. Unfortunately our time at the cottage was marred by pretty rotten weather (snow and ice) so going further afield wasnt really do-able so cant really comment on that. All in all a beautiful cottage in a lovely area of Scotland. |

Beautifully appointed cottage, privacy, peace and quiet but very well positioned for the coast and the picturesque Scottish Borders. Every comfort you would need, light and airy uncluttered rooms. Owners very welcoming but not obtrusive.We have just booked our third stay! [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated] |

| Cottage Review:
First class accommodation of the highest standard and quality. Cottage tastefully decorated and furnished, with everything you could require available on arrival including a welcome bottle of wine! Owners nearby in case of problems but no problems did arise. Easily the best equipped and most comfortable and luxurious self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in where everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay was provided. Good situation in a very quiet and restful location with easy access to the beautiful Scottish borders as well as the Northumberland coast and countryside. Garden furniture provided so that we could rest and enjoy the garden which was well tended by the owners. Would highly recommend this cottage which is exceptionally good value for money and of the highest standard. It was everything the brochure said and more! |

We were a party of three including my 93 year old mother. This may not be classed as disabled property but with only one small step indoors it was easily managed by my mum who has slight mobility problems, as one bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor. |

This is a first class cottage which has been beautifully extended. It is very spacious, comfortable and equipped to the highest standard.The holiday cottage sits in its own well maintained large grounds on all sides, not overlooked at all. There is a stream on one side with an old stone bridge. There are trees on all sides. Corrine and Ian are most friendly and helpful hosts. We plan to return next year to this wonderful, peaceful and relaxing cottage. M & A B******* Cambridgeshire [Reviewer has been authenticated by email] |

Everything one would expect from a five-star luxury cottage and more - everything is top quality. Suitable for two couples who can have their own space if they wish.Lovely situation - so peaceful but not isolated. Owners very friendly without intruding and gave us excellent advice on what to see in the area. Hope to visit again and would recommend the Thatched Cottage to anyone without hesitation. |
