  • "Overall we were okay with the flat."

    Except. Wish we had known before coming that we were expected to take our shoes off indoors as the floors were cold and slippery , area rugs were dangerous as they were not nonskid . Lack of a broom and mop meant a week worth of crumbs etc were on the floors.water was scalding and we did not have instructions to turn down. Entry keypad was too low for people in their 70’s especially in the dark. The bushes at the parking space made it impossible to get in or out of that side of the car, need cut back. Overall could do with better labelling and instructions on how things worked.

    Hello Guest. Thank you very much for your feedback on your stay in 5 West winds we always welcome positive feedback. In the wardrobe of one of the bedrooms is a broom plus a dustpan and brush which we always provide for our guests. Keypad is at standard eye level which we have never had anyone state that it wasn't convenient. I have noted the information about the bushes and will alert the gardener that does all of the gardening. Thank you for pointing that out. The rugs in the bedroom are normally put down with a non slip sheet underneath but clearly it hasn't been put back down once removed to be cleaned and i am very sorry about that. There is a folder in our property with all instructions on how things work. So glad you were ok in the flat we are fairly new property and try our best to think of all eventualities. Warmest Wishes Owner of property. Property Owner

  • "What a lovely little find in a great location!"

    The hosts of this flat had thought of every comfort, from fleecy throws for chilly toes to plentiful mugs and a lovely welcome pack. The village is ideally located to explore the area in all directions, the port down the hill is so beautiful. I’ve never lived in a flat so hearing others took a bit of getting used to but nothing of note. A few tweaks (dustpan and brush to clean the floor especially after a swim and Sandy toes/clothes, maybe softer bulbs in the lamps) but these are very minor on what is well thought out accommodation with home comforts galore. And the shower…. Hot and powerful to thaw frozen fingers (I do a lot of sea swimming!!) this was a last minute find after our pre booked cottage was cancelled on the day of travel and I have to say I was utterly delighted with our stay. And the neighbours are so so friendly too. The pub round the corner served the best gluten free fish and chips I have had for years. All in all a marvellous stay: and a big thank you to the hosts (I won’t mention the free potato picking post harvest on our walk, my back is still in recovery lol)

    Thank you for your comments and so glad I was able to help and that you enjoyed your break. I am just sorry I didn't respond as quickly as I should have. I do hope you are able to stay again in the future. Sharon x Property Owner

Why not feed the seals in the harbour the locals do. AYTON Ayton Castle dominates the town, and is built around a peel tower, it was built in the 1850s in the Scottish Baronial style in red sandstone, and is well worth visiting and walking around the lovely grounds.

Around 7 miles away is the coastal town of Berwick upon tweed. BERWICK UPON TWEED Berwick-upon-Tweed the mouth of the River Tweed known for Salmon fishing and its fortress walls.
