The cottage was absolutely beautiful, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Grace and sandy were very kind and helpful with local information.We felt right at home from the very start. The views were lovely, especially the nearby hills and the small stream running past the cottage.Overall, great value for money and we will definitely be back.

This is a nice well looked after cottage. The owner is very welcoming and they have very good local information. This is a good location to explore the Borders yet you can be in central Edinburgh by car and train in 45 minutes. Would be very happy to stay here again.
