  The very large double bed gave a good night's sleep.

  We thought that the lounge seating was too large for the room, but this was a minor issue. All of the electrical equipment was of a high standard. The attractive décor was fresh and light. Looking out over bay, through a big picture window in the first floor lounge, probably gave the best view in Eyemouth! When we were there in August both the excellent fish and chip shop and the equally excellent Italian ice cream parlour both shut at about 7pm - so be warned! The Ship Inn is dog friendly and serves good food. The coastal walks, both north to St Abbs and south to Burnmouth, are visually stunning and easy underfoot and, if combined with the infrequent Borders bus service, can prevent the necessity of a return walk. Eyemouth's recycling facilities on the harbour front are limited and disorganised and a car trip to the recycling centre near the High School will probably be necessary. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our few days in 'General's Yard'. The high quality of fittings, proximity to the beach and local amenities such as an excellent bakery and a mini supermarket (Co-op) , a couple of pubs and the aforementioned coastal walks, make it an excellent base for a short stay.

  Just returned from a wonderful few days with friends at Bogan in Coldingham. Gorgeous village with friendly, welcoming people, especially the neighbours. The cottage was pristine, comfortable, well equipped and practical. We were blessed with fabulous weather so enjoyed sitting in tranquil garden listening to the birds and watching the deer visiting every evening across the burn. Lovely walk down to Coldingham Bay which is stunning and also has toilets and a beach cafe. Handy Spar shop for any bits and bobs you forget or need, like ice for the G&Ts after a day exploring the beautiful Scottish Borders. Visited St Abbs, North Berwick, Paxton House, all great. Excellent fish and chips on the harbour at Eyemouth where we also bought freshly caught crab and seafood to eat back at the cottage. Will definitely return, thank you.

  The property was superb, the bed the comfiest I’ve ever slept in, and that gorgeous settee.

  BUT the technology was a definite downside. It took us two days to get the hob to work - it had been left on child lock. The tv was a nightmare - took us two sessions to get it going, by which time we had missed the programmes we wanted to watch. We only managed to get bbc1 a couple of times the whole week, it kept saying no signal. Other channels seemed ok ish One really, really does not want to spend half of the holiday reading instruction manuals. So, the first couple of days were pretty stressful. It would be an idea to tip off incomers about the child lock on the hob. But a beautiful area and a superb location. And so very comfortable, so thank you for that.

  Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location.

  It was a pleasure to stay here, the cottage is beautifully furnished/decorated and had everything we needed plus more. We had a friendly welcome from the owners, who gave us lots of information, there is also lots of information provided in the property. Lovely views from the back garden which we particularly enjoyed of an evening. Lovely garden area to the front which we enjoyed. Both gardens a safe space for our son to play & explore. We enjoyed relaxing in front of the log burning fire after busy days adventuring. There is so much to do in this area, we didn’t manage to fit everything in. We enjoyed our stay so much we have already booked for next summer
