  We had a wonderful time staying at Craggs Cottage.

  Kirsty, Alan and the rest of the their family were so accommodating to us during our stay. Myself and my parents really enjoyed staying on a working farm and being able to explore to our heart’s content. Any questions or queries we had during our stay were always dealt with promptly and with warmth and kindness. We were always made to feel welcome. The cottage itself was extremely well presented, very neat and tidy. All of the essentials for cooking and cleaning were at hand and easy to find, and a comprehensive welcome pack enabled us to find instruction manuals for all of the appliances in the cottage and information regarding rubbish and instructions for departure. There was also a freshly baked fruit cake waiting in the cottage upon our arrival which has been enjoyed immensely! I would highly recommend Craggs Cottage to anyone staying in the Scottish Borders for any length of stay. The cottage is close enough to larger towns such as Kelso to make it easy for buying groceries or eating out in the evening and located not too far from the A68, meaning it was fairly easy to get onto a main road and travel back and forth to different places in the area. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning to Craggs Cottage again one day.

  Our first impression when walking in to Stable Lodge was Wow!

  It is extremely welcoming and does not disappoint as you enter each room. The bedrooms are well furnished with plenty of wardrobe space and hangers, and very comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need, in fact more than you need! We really appreciated the cake, biscuits, milk, tea, coffee and all the other little extras. The lounge is cosy and comfortable to relax in by the fire. We thought all the different table lights in each room were beautiful. The location is excellent for exploring, only an hour from Edinburgh which was our main reason for choosing Coldstream as I had always wanted to see the castle. We went to various other places too including Berwick upon Tweed and Bamburgh and loved to come 'home' at the end of a day. Coldstream itself is an interesting town with lovely walks, quirky little gift shops, an excellent butchers, and the Besom Inn was worth the visit! I would certainly recommend Stable Lodge and would definitely return if visiting the area again.

  What a beautiful cottage!

  We really enjoyed our week’s stay at Craggs Cottage. We really appreciated the ease of check in after a long drive up. The cottages were also signposted from the road so easy to find. Upon arrival there was a freshly baked fruit cake waiting for us, which was very much appreciated! The cottage had its charm but was also very well furnished and had everything you could think of. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was lovely and the beds and sofas were so comfortable. Lovely views over the farm’s fields both from the front and back of the property. Another plus for us was a freestanding fridge freezer with plenty of space. We left a day early due to a late night event in Northumberland and we were sad to leave! The property is genuinely the best we’ve stayed out and we would happily return. Thank you to Kirsty for being such a great host!

  We greatly enjoyed our week at Stable Lodge.

  We were welcomed with a basket of shortbreads and lemon drizzle cake and, on opening the fridge, we discovered a bottle of prosecco. What a start to the holiday! Zoe was also very attentive to ensure that we were comfortable. The cottage itself was very well equipped and homely. It is well located in an attractive square and close to the shops and other amenities of Coldstream. As walkers, we were pleased to be able to access a number of local walks without having to use the car. Coldstream is also conveniently located for walks in the Cheviots and on the Berwickshire and Northumberland coasts. The suggested walks with maps in the cottage information book was a very helpful addition to our own material. In conclusion, Stable Lodge met all our needs and gave us a great base for a very enjoyable holiday.

  Stable Lodge is an excellent property with everything you need for a wonderful stay.

  Zoe is the perfect host with excellent communication and a wonderful welcome pack left for us at the cottage. All amenities close by within easy walking distance, shops, pubs, takeaways, restaurants, butchers etc. Parking available in the square immediately outside the cottage. Perfect location on the border for local walks and further afield journeys such as to Edinburgh and Bamburgh castles being particular highlights for us. Definitely recommended and we would love to return to this beautiful part of the country and certainly to both Colldstream and Stable Lodge.
