  The cottage is clean, cosy, close to all local amenities and in a central position to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders .

  Helen, the owner, has thought of everything to make the cottage a home from home, including having plenty of coal and kindle to make a roaring fire when the weather gets a little chilly. We were lucky we didn't need them but there's also plenty in the cottage to keep you and the kids amused if the weather isn't great with a good selection of DVD's, books and board games to work through. Beds are lovely and comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped with anything you may need. Helen, herself was very helpful. As we were staying for 2 weeks she contacted us before the start of the holiday to ask if we would like the freezer turning on and if we would like extra bedding leaving so we could do a change, she also left a lovely welcome pack for our arrival. Its little things like this that make a big difference We can fully recommend the local pub, The Waterloo Arms which is literally just over the road, very friendly staff and customers who make you feel really welcome too. We will definitely be back

  We had an absolutely lovely week at Spring Cottage.

  We were lucky with the weather so got to sit out in the beautiful garden (watch out for the wasps tho!). And the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept it! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the welcome pack of goodies was a lovely touch - thank you! The house was clean and comfy and felt like a real home from home. It’s only a 15 minute drive to the supermarket to do a big shop. Gorgeous beach at Eyemouth close by, and all the gorgeous Northumberland coast not too much further away - we went to Bamburgh castle which is well worth a visit, and went on a boat trip from Seahouses and saw lots of grey seals! We had a day trip to Edinburgh too - gorgeous city - it was the fringe and tattoo that day so really busy and lots of street entertainment. I’d save your money and do Bamburgh rather than Edinburgh castle though. Would definitely recommend Spring cottage.

  We had a lovely time at Spring Cottage.

  It was cosy, tastefully furnished and decorated beautifully for Christmas, which was a delight to see when we opened the cottage door on arrival. Beds were very comfortable, with lovely festive bedding. The welcome basket was a delightful surprise too! Everything we could wish for for a comfortable stay was provided. The few 'niggles' we had were: Bulbs not working in some of the main lights, and lamps; Heater didn't work in the double bedroom; Outside drain kept blocking. However these issues in no way affected the enjoyment of our stay at the cottage, and we would be happy to return. We used to live in the Scottish Borders, about 20 miles from Whitsome, and it was so nice to be back in the area. Going forward into Spring, I think the garden would benefit from some attention, and a tidy up. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.

  What a wonderful stay we had at spring cottage!

  We ended up staying for an extra five nights because we felt so at home and comfortable! The dog loved the garden. The kids loved their rooms as did I. We all loved the big telly in the living room, but most of all we loved the quality of the mattresses. It's not often a mattress is up to my needs, I usually leave a holiday let early and in pain because I need a good quality mattress to sleep on, but not at spring cottage! Every room had a great mattress so we all slept like babies and had such a wonderful and restful holiday. The dining table in the kitchen allowed us to have sit down meals and we all really enjoyed that. A big thanks to our host Vicky who was so very kind and accommodating. We had a great holiday and we look forward to returning some day. I would recommend this property.

  Lovely family cottage with plenty of space.

  All rooms are large and airy. Very comfortable beds and sofas in lounge. Cottage was spotless when we arrived. Heating was great, there is even an open fire (with coal and wood provided). Lots of DVDs to watch, music CDs to listen to and board games to play. Everything that we needed for the week was in the cottage. The cottage is situated in a smallish borders village with local shop, chip shop, pharmacy and local pubs. The pub (just a couple of doors away) allowed dogs and children in. Food from pub was great. Village was very close to places of interest like Berwick upon Tweed, Eyemouth, Holy Island and Alnwick.
