  Absolutely superb property and a lovely host Liz.

  We have had an absolutely perfect holiday at Grooms Cottage. The cottage was spotless and very well looked after, there is everything you could ever need, especially in the kitchen. Loads of different pots and pans etc. Even had colour coded chopping boards.. Lounge has 2 nice comfy sofas and a good size TV. Beds were very comfy. Benefits from having both a bath and shower. Enclosed garden outside with a brand new BBQ. Set in further lovely tranquil frounds. We could not find a single fault with the property at all...its fabulous ..and we will certainly return when we can. The location is quite remote and a car is needed to get around the area but we knew that before arriving and was one of the reasons we chose it. It is easy to get to loads of different places such as Edinburgh, North Berwick ( lovely little fishing town), Holy Island, Eyemouth to name a few. Most relaxed holiday we've had in ages... We would highly recommend grooms cottage to anyone. Thank you Liz, we hope to see you again soon.

  This cottage is comfortably set up for four adults and a dog and is set in pretty surroundings close to the border towns and coast.

  There are a couple of pubs a co op and a fish and chip shop nearby. My main concern was the cleaning of the property considering the check in and out times. First impressions were a dark courtyard covered in leaves with 2 old wooden chairs and some plant pots with dead plants in them.The front door mat was worn away and the steps were filthy as were the doorways and windows.There was no mat inside the door so we kept walking in leaves and muddy footprints.The house was dusty and had lots of cobwebs,the oven was dirty and the shower needed a good clean.It was also quite cold in the evening as only one heater was working downstairs and didn't give out much heat. Overall the cottage itself is very nice but it needs some care and attention to the little details to make it a more pleasant place to stay.

  Excellent time.

  Cottage was great & surrounding area wonderful for walking Only comments would be that wifi was very bad. Most of the time it told me I was connected fine, but there was no internet. It was frustrating knowing the cottage had wifi, but not having it available. Would be easier to actually say there was no wifi which I think would have been easier to cope with. Wanted wifi mainly to check on weather for next day and see opening times of different places to go & visit. Other comment would be that the teapot was in the cupboard and when I went to use it there was a used teabag in. This had obviously not been washed. Info said all crockery would have been washed. In todays climate this is especially important. Overall though an absolutely fabulous holiday & cottage was great

  For our first holiday in Scotland we chose to visit the South Eastern part of the Country, and found an excellent property - ‘Runglee’.

  Owned by Vanessa and her lovely family, on arrival we were provided with a very helpful welcome pack with fresh bread, milk, honey and eggs. The property is spacious, beautifully furnished, with cosy sitting room and sun room, and the beds are exquisitely comfortable. The kitchen is particularly well furnished with everything required to assist those who like to self-cater. There is much to see and do in the area with many Historic Homes and Castles, and quaint towns to visit, with Edinburgh also within easy reach for a day out. Over recent years, we have used Sykes properties many, many times and can honestly state that this property is far and away the most well-appointed and comfortable of any that we have rented before, book now to avoid the rush!

  The house needs quite some tlc.

  Everything is a bit worn,tired. Owner was friendly and groceries were a nice gesture . Cleaning not up to standard, cobwebs in corners ceiling,cooker dirty inside. I should have mentioned everything there and then but you don't want to offend. Other people have the same complaints,looking back at the reviews, also for Gardener's Cottage next door. My advice for the owner is to have a good,objective look at the places to see what can be done to lift it to a higher level. Perhaps invest a little and check the cleaning. The setting is nice,the basics alright. It would be a shame people would not book again due to matters that can be fixed quite easily.
