It was comfortable, clean, warm and ideally suited for a dog due to the enclosed garden.Lots of interesting walks nearby.Lovely pub near Reston - The Craw Inn - with very friendly locals.Easy train journey to Edinburgh.We recommend the cafe at St Abbs and the one at Coldingham.

Cottage was as described and very well appointed. Great location for what we needed and the directions made it easy to locate. Facilities were good, making our stay comfortable and easy. Setting is rural - plenty of wild life for those interested and lots of walks round and about.
