What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage is clean, cosy, close to all local amenities and in a central position to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders .

  Helen, the owner, has thought of everything to make the cottage a home from home, including having plenty of coal and kindle to make a roaring fire when the weather gets a little chilly. We were lucky we didn't need them but there's also plenty in the cottage to keep you and the kids amused if the weather isn't great with a good selection of DVD's, books and board games to work through. Beds are lovely and comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped with anything you may need. Helen, herself was very helpful. As we were staying for 2 weeks she contacted us before the start of the holiday to ask if we would like the freezer turning on and if we would like extra bedding leaving so we could do a change, she also left a lovely welcome pack for our arrival. Its little things like this that make a big difference We can fully recommend the local pub, The Waterloo Arms which is literally just over the road, very friendly staff and customers who make you feel really welcome too. We will definitely be back

  The booking process itself through Sykes was extremely easy, quick and user-friendly.

  A comprehensive confirmation was sent to us including several details from the owners. Details of location, parking and key pickups was also provided making the arrival at the cottage very straightforward. The cottage itself was immaculate and the welcome basket was indeed very welcoming! It even included treats for our dogs! Beds were comfortable and warm with lots of wardrobe and drawer space if required. Kitchen and bathroom were both spotless and had plenty of storage. Our only niggle was the shower. The pressure was very poor and we both had to use it as a hand spray. The temperature was good though and I don’t know if perhaps we didn’t use it properly. Would suggest perhaps that it is checked out anyway. I have chosen not to mark the cottage down because of the shower though because in every other way it was perfect and I highly recommend. Thank you very much ❤️

  This is a lovely modern cottage.

  The furniture is modern with clean lines and has been thoughtfully decorated. However , is only big enough for 2 even though it states in the description that it’s big enough for 4. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, this could really do with replacing. The description is a bit misleading- the cottage is very close to the sea, but you are not able to walk on the beach because it is mainly rocks. However, a 10 minute walk brings you to a sandy/rocky beach you can walk on. I you can easily get to other areas by car. We went to Loch Ness but unfortunately didn’t see Nessy. Although parking is on a first come first served basis, we didn’t have any problems finding a space. It is on a narrow street, and you do tend to bump into the neighbours as you are coming and going, but they are very friendly (and love dogs). The welcome hamper was lovely, and appreciated by both humans and dogs ❤️

  Lovely cottage and very thoughtfully kitted out to cater for holidaymakers’ (adults, children, dogs) needs.

  Note for tall people, a couple of the doorways are low. We particularly appreciated early contact from Helen, the owner, who provided information on the local public transport (we don’t drive) and kind offer to collect the basics from the local shop to save us carrying along with our luggage / the walk back up the hill. Chirnside is a good location to reach Duns or Berwick via direct bus route and Eyemouth via Pingo bus, if not driving. There are also plenty of local walks. We had a great week and would highly recommend this holiday property.

  The property is lovely.

  The only thing we found wrong with it was that the sofa bed is really uncomfortable to sit on. I would not like to think that 4 people could stay there It's ideal for 2 but that's it apart from that it was perfect. The village is lovely and surrounding area too. Facilities within Buckie are super everything you need is in buckie otherwise Elgin is only half hour or so away which is also a lovely place. The neighbours are very nice and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back in the area again
