The location is celebrated for its beauty, with stunning sea views and peaceful surroundings. Guests appreciate the proximity to wildlife and the soothing sound of waves, making it an ideal getaway.

The cottage is frequently described as comfortable, with cosy furnishings and comfy beds. However, some guests mention that the sitting area furniture could be improved, and the heating was occasionally too high.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and luxurious towels and bedding. Some guests noted a lack of certain kitchen items, difficulty with TV operation, and a desire for a stand-up shower, suggesting room for improvement.

While a welcome bottle of wine is mentioned, there are not enough instances of guests commenting on thoughtful gestures to accurately assess this category. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts are a regular occurrence.

About this property

Lower Burnmouth 0.4 miles. A charming former fisherman’s cottage, Partan Cottage near Ayton on the Scottish Borders is the perfect place for a fun family holiday. With dramatic cliffs and scenic coastline, the cottage enjoys a simply stunning location and the seaside setting is reflected in the tasteful coastal hues that resonate throughout the property. A delightful open-plan living space greets guests as they arrive with beautiful features such as an attractive seating area, a traditional inglenook fireplace complete with a stove-effect fire, picture windows and solid wood flooring, which all add up to create a really welcoming ambience. The stylish kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to rustle up delicious food for the holiday party and the adjoining dining area means that cooking can be a truly sociable experience. You can imagine pulling up a chair, pouring a glass of your favourite tipple and keeping the designated chef company. Outside, there is a communal terraced garden where you can soak up any sunshine or take a seat on the bench at the front, where you can breathe in the fresh sea air and soak up simply mesmerising sea views. All that outdoor activity will no doubt have tired everyone out, so take your pick from two pleasant bedrooms; a king-size and a double. Both are well-presented and offer a wonderful opportunity to recharge your batteries before waking up refreshed and raring to go. Partan Cottage is within a short walk of the tiny fishing hamlet of Lower Burnmouth known for sightings of grey seals in its gorgeous, sheltered bay area. Just a few minutes’ away are shops and pubs in villages such as Eyemouth and Ayton and Berwick-upon-Tweed is a short drive. Other attractions include Holy Island, St Abbs with its spectacular diving, the Farne Islands, the wonderful beaches and castles of North Northumberland, and the rolling countryside of the Scottish Borders and are all within easy driving distance. Boasting a truly amazing location on the stunning coastline of Northumberland, Partan Cottage offers guests a seaside stay in an authentic and beautifully presented holiday home.

The tiny fishing hamlet of Lower Burnmouth enjoys an idyllic location at the foot of picturesque cliffs of the Berwickshire coast.

    Could do with instructions for tv. New kettle

  • Dave

    Nothing new has been built here in seventy years. The lady next door has lived here for over half a century. Traffic management consists of a rope stretched across the road acting as a speed hump. Despite all that the cottage lacks nothing in modern amenities. Beds are comfortable and everything is clean and tidy. For the benefit of others, if you want live tv then either press ITV-X or BBC-I-player and press on ‘live tv’. We loved it here and would recommend it to others.

    Great views. Car access a little difficult. Blessed with great weather and no easterly breezes
