Gardener's Cottage, Allanbank Courtyard, Allanton, Chirnside, Scottish Borders, TD11 3PY

Lovely cottage but needs a bit of basic maintenance. Good location if you are looking for an isolated spot with a short drive to the beach.

A big issue we had was the owners dogs were allowed to run free and they acted very aggressively towards us as well as defecating everywhere making it unpleasant to walk outside the cottage.

Spent a long weekend here, on turning into the cottages it felt positively magical. Plenty of parking space, lovely clean, welcoming house, fenced in garden so safe for dogs and children.

Lovely welcoming pack, appreciated after a 4 hour drive.

The owners are friendly and lovely people.

You have to take glass rubbish away with you as no bin facilities for glass but this is not their fault.

The allanton Inn is not dog friendly

Spotless cottage. Everything you need plus extra. Spacious. Dog friendly. Perfect base for exploring Northumberland and Scottish Borders. WiFi/ internet connection hit and miss. But was so nice to take a break from technology. Although my 12 year old didn't think so lol. She had to talk to us. Great family holiday. Will definitely recommend.

Booked to stay for one week. Found mouse droppings under the kitchen sink on our arrival so placed a trap as my wife does not like mice. Caught our first mouse Saturday evening ! Sunday evening a second mouse ran across the living room floor, so we left. Returned on Monday to collect our possessions and discuss the situation with the owner. The owner told me that she thought it was reasonable to have mice in a country cottage and that I should have told her at the time of booking that my wife was afraid of mice and she would have declined my booking. Her husband told me they use electronic devices to repel mice in their own home but not the holiday cottages.

Holiday ruined!

Exceptional Value for Money. Whilst not the swankiest of pads, the cottage is scrupiously clean and very well equipped, set in beautiful grounds with lots of wildlife. There is also space for two cars for each of the cottages, which is great if you are meeting up with friends or family.

We got the warmest of welcomes from our host, Liz, who even left us a chocolate cake - despite this being only a three night booking. We had our jack russell dog with us, so it was also really handy to have a fenced-in patio area so I didn't have to worry about him redu

Loved Gardner's Cottage. Went with husband and Luna the dog. Small enclosed patio with bbq was a great place to sit in the evenings. Little patch of woodland over fence for Luna to run. Nice and roomy cottage which is well equipped. Steps up to front door. There are now two bathrooms. Bit of a drive for shops (Tesco near Berwick). Nice pub with food in village. Owners friendly and helpful. It is on the site of their art studio, which had an open weekend while we were there, so there were people walking around, but only until 4pm. Had to stand in gar

What a lovely cottage (in the ad photos, its the one in shadow). Spacious and dog friendly. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable living area (though we mainly sat on the patio). Surrounded by trees. Patio is enclosed by low fence. Over road from property is a footpath suitable for walking the dog in the mornings. Lots of space in the bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with shower one with bath. There is an ajoining cottage but you don't get any disturbance from it. There is also another property visible and the owner runs art courses, none of which is tro
