Guests appreciate the traditional charm, comfortable beds, and the peaceful setting. The cottage serves as a great base for exploring the Scottish Borders, with easy access to local shops and coastal drives. While one review mentions the need for updates, the majority reflect a very positive experience with a friendly owner.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very comfortable and clean, with no specific complaints about cleanliness. One negative review does not provide enough detail to significantly impact the overall high standard perceived by other guests.
The location is consistently praised for being central, private, and convenient for exploring the Borders, with easy access to local amenities and scenic walks. Its proximity to other towns and beaches is also appreciated.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, mentioning a well-equipped kitchen and comfy bed. However, one review citing uncomfortable beds and a need for updates suggests there is room for improvement.
While the reviews mention well-equipped facilities and a good-sized log burner, there is not enough detailed information on the overall maintenance of the property to provide a score. The mention of threadbare carpets by one guest suggests some areas may need attention.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category based on the available reviews.

First time in Duns and most likely not to be my last. From start to finish the cottage was a good break away from hustle and bustle at home. A great Central place to other places like Eyemouth and Berwick and the most friendly people. The garden at the rear of the cottage was a godsend for our dogs. I certainly would recommend the cottage for a relaxing break and the owners were very helpful x
