Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Cottage is lovely and clean with all you need for a holiday. I would certainly recommend.
Thank you again for your comments and for leaving the place so neat and tidy.

"The cottage was absolutely wonderful, very comfortable and welcoming."
A nice welcome pack of cake, biscuits and milk which we very much appreciated after our long journey. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed. We had a text message from Zoe, the owner, the day before we set off advising of where the key store was and confirmation of the code. She also texted us after we arrived to see if everything was okay and then again during our stay to check again. We would definitely love to stay again in warmer weather to make use of the courtyard too.
Thank you Zoe for making our stay just perfect.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and exploring the area. Hope to see you again.

"Our first impression when walking in to Stable Lodge was Wow!"
It is extremely welcoming and does not disappoint as you enter each room. The bedrooms are well furnished with plenty of wardrobe space and hangers, and very comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need, in fact more than you need! We really appreciated the cake, biscuits, milk, tea, coffee and all the other little extras. The lounge is cosy and comfortable to relax in by the fire. We thought all the different table lights in each room were beautiful.
The location is excellent for exploring, only an hour from Edinburgh which was our main reason for choosing Coldstream as I had always wanted to see the castle. We went to various other places too including Berwick upon Tweed and Bamburgh and loved to come 'home' at the end of a day. Coldstream itself is an interesting town with lovely walks, quirky little gift shops, an excellent butchers, and the Besom Inn was worth the visit!
I would certainly recommend Stable Lodge and would definitely return if visiting the area again.

The cottage itself was very well equipped and homely. It is well located in an attractive square and close to the shops and other amenities of Coldstream.

This delightful, double fronted cottage lies in the market town of Coldstream near the Scottish borders, offering two charming bedrooms and enjoying a central location.
Ideal for two couples or a family, this inviting retreat serves as a great base for exploring the Scottish borders and northern areas of the Northumberland National Park.
Stepping inside, you are greeted by a lovely entrance hallway where you leave your boots and coats before finding the sitting room.
Kick back on the sofa or armchair before finding something to watch on the TV, or use this as a time to reflect on the holiday so far.
Move into the kitchen/diner, finished in a vibrant overtone, where you can utilise a selection of integrated appliances for preparing home-cooked meals.

COLDSTREAM
Cornhill-on-Tweed 2 miles.
Home to the famous Coldstream Guards, the pretty borders town of Coldstream sits on the northern bank of the River Tweed, and was once a rival to Gretna Green for runaway marriages. There is a museum dedicated to the Guards, a good selection of shops and pubs, or visitors can try their hand at a variety of activities, including cycling, fishing, golf, riding or walking in the beautiful surrounding countryside. The picturesque seat of The Earls of Hume, including former Conservative Prime Minister Alec Douglas-Home, is The Hirsel, an estate to the west of the town with a fine mansion in beautiful grounds through which flow the Leet Waters, famous for a wide range of birds which nest there. With the Scottish borders and North Northumberland easily accessible, this is a fantastic base from which to make the most of the region.
