Paul
It had everything we needed and was tastefully decorated (although I agree with the other review on curtains for the large bedroom as a street light shines through). Some lovely walks nearby along the Tweed and to Norham Castle. The Mason Arms is a great pub and well worth a visit. Property is located within a reasonable driving distance for Seahouses, Farnes, Berwick on Tweed, Bamburgh etc. Also recommend Union Bridge and Duddo Stones which are nearby. Comes highly recommended and would consider again if in the area.

It would have been nice to have had black out curtains in the bedroom.
Nicola
Spotlessly clean and very well equipped cottage. Lovely welcome pack. Highly recommend to anyone who wishes to stay in this area. Lots of history in the village and surrounding areas.
