• "John and Zena have a super property in a stunning location."

  House was spotless and modern whilst still holding the traditional and cosy country style feel. Views at the back are stunning and everything you need for a weeks stay is provided. It’s so quiet with no light pollution. The neighbours and locals are friendly. Zena and John provided us support on our last day due to an unfortunate incident on a local road near Edinburgh by allowing us to stay for a few more hours on our departure day to allow us to sort ourselves out with transport. Thank you both so much. We hope to return again.

  Thank you for staying with us and for leaving such lovely feedback. We are glad we were able to be of help and glad that you made it home safely. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to meet you both and look forward to seeing again in the future. Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our stay in the Scottish Borders."

  The cottage was so lovely, the huge, light and airy kitchen with the beautiful view was where we spent most of our time when indoors. It is one of the best equipped holiday cottages we have stayed in, very clean and the mattress was so comfortable. We didn’t want to go home! We hope to return in the future. The cottage is also nicely situated so you can easily reach Coldstream or Kelso as well as being close to Northumberland.

• "Good location, very quiet, near to the towns of Melrose, Kelso and of course Coldstream."

  Also very near to the stunning coast of Northumbria and the numerous amounts of wildlife. Would definitely recommend the cottage for a base to explore the delights of the Scottish Borders.

  Thank you for your feedback. The Northumberland Coast is indeed very beautiful. We are sorry that you could not give the property full marks given that for other guests we score highly especially on cleanliness, comfort, maintenace and equipment. The cottage is cleaned every Saturday to the highest standard. It would have been good to see that it was left in a decent condition. As advertised, it is a very old, traditional stone cottage in a rural location. As such it relies on electricity for heating (which is very costly to run) so you can appreciate that bills are very high when guests don't take care with the heating. So your usage was four times that of normal stays. Property Owner

• "Location - tick."

  View - tick. Comfortable beds - tick. These are our main criteria for a good holiday. This cottage is one of the best, if not THE best, we have stayed in (and we have stayed in a lot). The owners have thought of everything a visitor could possibly need, and provided some of the basics like dishwasher tablets, wash pods, hand wash...things that we have previously had to go out and buy. The kitchen is amazing, with more equipment than my own! 100% recommend.

  Thank you for staying with us. We are delighted that you found the cottage comfortable and enjoyed your stay. We know how frustrating it is to arrive at a destination, finding that you needed something and wished it was there and for this reason we are more than happy to provide them to make your stay hassle free.
