Settle in for a romantic break at this gorgeous, single-storey cottage at Duns, on the Scottish borders. This exquisite, period home, which was once a gatehouse, has been beautifully renovated to offer stylish, sophisticated accommodation, suitable for a couple and up to two of their four-legged friends. Wander the streets of Duns, with its pretty market square, independent shops and choice of restaurants. Head to the coast 13 miles away to walk along the cliffs and spot a plethora of birdlife. Return to your holiday home to bask by the wood burner or bubble in the hot tub.

Open the front door on to this beautiful cottage and wander down the hall to hang your coats in the utility room. Amble on through into the inviting lounge to recline on the comfortable seating and choose your evening’s viewing on the Smart TV. Lay a fire in the wood burner to create an inviting glow. When mealtimes beckon, head through into the kitchen/diner, where you will find everything you need to prepare delicious dinners for two. Make a cup of coffee in the espresso machine in here to enjoy after your wonderful meal.

At the end of each long day out discovering the beauty of the picturesque area, run yourself a long, hot bath and then head on through to the king-size bedroom to lay your head in comfort for the night.

Take breakfast out on the deck in the enclosed garden on summer mornings. Light the BBQ to cook lunch or supper out in the fresh air and fire up the hot tub in the evening for a luxurious soak under the stars. Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy the tranquillity. Find parking for one car at the cottage. Additional space is on the road, subject to availability.
