Stayed at West Cottage earlier in early October, for a dog show. It was so relaxing and welcoming after such a terrible year settled in a beautiful location and views. Weather was not kind but the home made warm scones on arrival and the open fire made everything just right. Really well equipped cottage, very clean we had a lovely time just wish we had been able to stay longer.

Amazing place, brilliant owners and showcasing the character of the area. All the ingredients you need to create a truly fantastic holiday. Our friends loved it, our dog loved it, we loved it!The walks are great and there are numerous choices of where to go and where to visit. A perfect ABC menu.(Yes, I know it sounds corny but its still true)

A wonderfully well equipped place in a beautiful setting, yet only a few minutes to the shops in Kelso for anything we'd forgotten! Warm and comfortable; the perfect place to relax. And what could be more relaxing than watching 3 hares runnng round the lawn in the evening sunshine!

Lovely, relaxing break in the peaceful Scottish Borders. Cottage had all we needed for a very comfortable stay, beds and bedrooms were very spacious and the lounge, with its open coal fire, made our evenings homely and cosy. Easy access by car into Kelso and ideal for trips to hills, coast and other local towns and attractions.Very welcoming host (the tea and delicious rock cakes on arrival after our long journey were much appreciated) and everything was COVID compliant. Heartily recommended.

Only a short stay for three nights but no less enjoyable than previous visits since first Discovering the cottages in 2007. All immaculately presented and Sue`s attention to detail is first class, nothing is left out. From the warm open fire , to the home made buns , wonderful views from the cottages it is just a joy. Peace and quiet reigns and there are plenty of attractions and lovely little towns to explore on the doorstep. Hope my next visit isn't too far away.
