Bridge cottage is an amazing property and it truly surpassed our expectations. Not only is it furnished and decorated to a very high standard both for comfort and attractiveness, but is the most well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. In addition to this, the location is perfect. Easy to get to Edinburgh by train, and near to gorgeous towns such as Melrose, Jedburgh, Berwick on Tweed and the beautiful Lindisfarne castle and Holy Island. The view from the lounge is stunning and we saw so much wildlife from there and the sun trap outdoor seating area. I cannot recommend Bridge Cottage highly enough. If you visit you won’t be disappointed. Many thanks to Grace and Sandy for sharing this gorgeous cottage.
