  • "A brilliant and comfortable base for completing The Berwickshire Coast Path from Cockburnspath to Berwick-upon-Tweed."

    About 1.25 m N of Coldingham so amazingly quiet and peaceful and sufficiently close to the coast path to allow me to walk back to the Farm on the 1st day (from Cockburnspath) and from the Farm (to St Abbs Head and Eyemouth) on the 2nd. Hosts very friendly and helpful. A small issue with the heating was quickly resolved on the Thursday. Would highly recommend!

  • "Beautiful cozy cottage, easy to find, great instructions."

    Absolutely beautiful decoration, like someones home rather than a holiday let. Very, very well equipped with everything you might need. Very warm and light. Situated on a farm with residents next door who were there if needed.

    The cottage is tastefully furnished and fully equipped. Barry and Elizabeth the owners who live next door were friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The garden is fully enclosed so great for our 2 dogs. Plenty of walks in the area and beautiful beaches. We fully recommend this accommodation and will definitely be back in the future.

  • "It states that there is a sea view but we could not see one The cottage is ..."

    It states that there is a sea view but we could not see one The cottage is lovely but it is quite remote you do need transport you can not just walk anywhere especially if you have a dog Overall the place is very relaxing clean and tidy just disappointing that I could not walk my dog from the cottage

    I don't quite understand the comment about not being able to walk your dog from the cottage. We walk our dog up and down the farm road and on West Loch Road, which is very quiet, as do most of our guests. There is also the enclosed garden area where the dog can run free. I don't think the cottage could be called remote, as it's 1.2 miles from the centre of Coldingham. There is a sea view from the front door/corridor. I hope this fully addresses the points raised.

    Clean & well equipped, with lots of original artwork & ceramics ,& beautifully decorated.Lots of animals around& we even saw a badger one night. Coldingham itself is a nice base, has 2 pubs & a take away, with a lovely sandy bay. Lots of walks in the area & we travelled up to the North Berwick coast too, also inland to Kelso for Floors castle, Abbeyford (Sir Walter Scott's house) & to Haddington for Lennoxlove House ( booking essential )There is also lots to visit on the Northumberland coast within easy reach ( we had stayed there the previous week) so enough to occupy you for a fortnight at least! Or for a few days break to chill out, as it is very soothing staying here.

All the entertainment worked perfectly - Sky, TV, Bluetooth speaker, and clear and comprehensive instructions for their use were supplied. Private garden at the back with views over the rolling countryside from a sheltered table and chairs, ideal for breakfast outside or a place to sit of an evening. A very peaceful and tranquil place!
