"Stunning cottage, spacious and well appointed."
Fabulous welcome pack especially after a long journey. Great selection of books and games. Owners had thought of everything throughout the cottage. We would definitely recommend and stay again.
Just a couple of things. I could feel the springs in the king mattress but I got round that by sleeping on a spare duvet. Shower door didn't close in ensuite but the shower is big enough for it not to create a problem.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for staying in our property. I note the two issues mentioned, the mattress in the king size bedroom was new at the beginning of this year, therefore I am sorry to hear you had a problem. I will look at the shower room door. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Angela

"Stunning property on a unique street."
The description and photos do not do it justice, you would expect to pay a much higher price for this sort of premium accommodation.
Kelso is only a 5 minute drive away, but a fabulous walk down to the viaduct and river is highly recommended.
The only slight criticism would be the lack of a key for the front door, and having to use the back door to come and go (not a major problem, just a very minor niggle).
Thank you for your kind comments and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Due to new regulations it is a requirement for the main external door from the bedrooms to have a keyless exit, There is a note in the information pack that all the keys for the other doors are on the key hooks including the front door. Thank you for staying in our property. Angela

Faultless.
The property states 4 miles from Kelso; but it's a 5 to 9 minute drive to parking in central Kelso, superb, main road all the way.

"Another excellent stay at 40 Bowmont court."
Great location. Lots of good dog walks, especially via the Roxburghe Schloss for a G &T!
The house is really well equipped and perfect for 6 adults and 2 dogs. It’s got a very calm and peaceful feel to it.
Loved afternoon tea at Ednam House in Kelso and highly recommend that, and excellent fish and chips from Rendezvous in Kelso. Also the Caddyman on the Kelso Jedburgh Road is amazing for Sunday lunches and very dog friendly-Both my husband and Dad say that their sticky toffee pudding is the best ever!
We fixed the banging electricity box after the first night thanks to Gorilla tape I keep in my car! That needs sorting!
The whole area is stunningly beautiful and the house does not disappoint. Really good welcome pack for human and dogs too! We are already planning our next visit back!

"This property was amazing plenty of room for 8 of us ."
Very warm in the winter months clean comfortable .
The shower in one room does need a new seal but that's a minor detail
Mattress in the doubles do need a change as could feel springs but laid on the duvet so didn't feel them . The neighbours were friendly bumped in to some dog walkers
Couldn't make use of the garden but imagine it's lovely in the summer .
Would definitely stay agon if in the area
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in our property. We note your comments and would like to advise the shower room will be refurbished in January. Also noted the comments on the mattresses, all the furniture including the beds were brand new last year, however we will certainly consider renewing. We hope we can welcome you back in the future.

The small estate the property is on backs into the Schloss golf course and it is so quiet. Loved the conservatory and the separate small reading room. The kitchen is well equipped and bedrooms comfy.

We had planned a family gathering at the weekend for my great niece's first birth. It was great for 6 adults and a crawling one year old. The owners even provided us with a high chair which was brilliant. Lovely place to come back to after a day sightseeing. We know the Scottish Borders well as my nephew has been living there for about 15 years now, but there are so many lovely places to visit. Kelso, Melrose, Peebles, North Berwick and Dunbar are all lovely.

.There was plenty of room for us all and we had a fabulous stay..The house was clean and tidy and there were plenty of utensils in the kitchen if you wanted to cook. The information brochure was good but we found the info on putting the rubbish out a bit unclear..it said don't put glass in either bins but didn't say what we should do with the glass bottles..The lounge was very comfortable and it was nice that there is a snug if you wanted to sit and enjoy a book. The bedrooms were lovely but the mattresses on the double beds were hard..I slept on top of my quilt..it maybe worth investing in new mattresses however this wouldn't stop me from coming back as this is such a beautiful place and a great base to explore..Also it would be nice to have a tv in your brdroom...but i understand not essential The welcome packs were great especially the fudge..very delicious and overall I would give the home a huge 10 out of 10..

Ample space for the 8 people in our party.
We were impressed with the attention to detail within the property. Obviously a lot of thought went into the furnishings and ornaments. Fantastic quiet location with local walks.
Maybe would benefit from a water pump, as we struggled to have 2 or more taps on at the same time. This was an issue with 8 people in the house.
The beds were a little uncomfortable, but manageable.
We all had a great stay; I was actually sad to leave!
