  • "What a wonderful stay we had at spring cottage!"

    We ended up staying for an extra five nights because we felt so at home and comfortable! The dog loved the garden. The kids loved their rooms as did I. We all loved the big telly in the living room, but most of all we loved the quality of the mattresses. It's not often a mattress is up to my needs, I usually leave a holiday let early and in pain because I need a good quality mattress to sleep on, but not at spring cottage! Every room had a great mattress so we all slept like babies and had such a wonderful and restful holiday. The dining table in the kitchen allowed us to have sit down meals and we all really enjoyed that. A big thanks to our host Vicky who was so very kind and accommodating. We had a great holiday and we look forward to returning some day. I would recommend this property.

  • "We had a lovely time at Spring Cottage."

    It was cosy, tastefully furnished and decorated beautifully for Christmas, which was a delight to see when we opened the cottage door on arrival. Beds were very comfortable, with lovely festive bedding. The welcome basket was a delightful surprise too! Everything we could wish for for a comfortable stay was provided. The few 'niggles' we had were: Bulbs not working in some of the main lights, and lamps; Heater didn't work in the double bedroom; Outside drain kept blocking. However these issues in no way affected the enjoyment of our stay at the cottage, and we would be happy to return. We used to live in the Scottish Borders, about 20 miles from Whitsome, and it was so nice to be back in the area. Going forward into Spring, I think the garden would benefit from some attention, and a tidy up. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.

    The cottage was so well equipped with everything you needed for a comfortable stay 2. We felt welcomed by the quality and variety of the welcome pack 3. The location combined the tranquillity of village life and walks with the close proximity of Berwick and Eyemouth just a short car ride away 4. The reassurance that Vicky, the owner lived local and if you needed anything she was at the other end of the phone.

  • "We had an absolutely lovely week at Spring Cottage."

    We were lucky with the weather so got to sit out in the beautiful garden (watch out for the wasps tho!). And the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept it! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the welcome pack of goodies was a lovely touch - thank you! The house was clean and comfy and felt like a real home from home. It’s only a 15 minute drive to the supermarket to do a big shop. Gorgeous beach at Eyemouth close by, and all the gorgeous Northumberland coast not too much further away - we went to Bamburgh castle which is well worth a visit, and went on a boat trip from Seahouses and saw lots of grey seals! We had a day trip to Edinburgh too - gorgeous city - it was the fringe and tattoo that day so really busy and lots of street entertainment. I’d save your money and do Bamburgh rather than Edinburgh castle though. Would definitely recommend Spring cottage.

    Very warm and comfortable. Amazing equipment in the kitchen. We were particularly impressed with the extra large bath towels (very few cottages provide these), the large airer and the spacious kitchen. The on street parking was fine, no problems getting a space outside the cottage. As a base it was excellent to visit many places on the coast and we also enjoyed the local villages. We enjoyed the quietness of the roads around the the rolling countryside. Thank you.

  • "Superb 'Tardis' of a cottage."

    Much bigger than even the description and pictures give it credit for. Immediately felt like a home rather than a rental. Very well cleaned and great facilities. The only item I would have liked (given the regular weather in that part of the world) was a tumble dryer for clothes, but that's a nice to have, not an essential. Having said that, I would happily sacrifice a dishwasher for a tumble dryer! Location is perfect for those wanting to be a in quite rural spot, yet only 10 miles from Berwick, which has all facilities. Great location also for coastal spots such as Seahouse, Bamburgh, Eyemouth and St Abbs. Even in reasonable distance of Edinburgh for a day trip. We would be delighted to return at some point in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

  • "What a fabulous cottage to stay in."

    We were contacted early on the Saturday and invited to go to the cottage early, which we did. On entering the Cottage we were more than pleasantly surprised, The children were so impressed with all the games that were there and the adults were more than pleased with the cleanliness and the equipment that was on site, Even down to small torches in every bedroom, The layout of the cottage was perfect and every use has been made with all the rooms. The children had their own bedrooms and were over the moon with them. The welcome pack was the icing on the cake and contained very thing needed for the first day, including a very pleasant bottle of Pinot white wine, As the week progressed we became more and more impressed and by the end of the week no one in the family wanted to leave. This cottage is a credit to the owner and I would recommend anyone to go there if they can, we will try and book again, A huge thank you to the owner for providing such beautiful accommodation.

Spend quality time with the children in the country-style kitchen, as you work together to bake some tasty treats to take with you on your next adventure.

In the morning, freshen up with a warming shower in the family bathroom, or soak yourself in the bath as you indulge in some peace and quiet.

Just 9 miles away lies the charming, coastal town of Berwick, boasting quaint, narrow streets enclosed within Elizabethan walls, excellent shopping and dining facilities and an interesting arts centre. The local area affords fantastic fishing, golf, walking and riding opportunities and the nearby resorts of Eyemouth, Coldingham and Spittal offer soft, sandy beaches, ideal for a relaxing afternoon.
