Superb getaway
This is a superb cottage, finished to an excellent standard and very well equipped. There is no phone signal or WiFi which some people may not like but for us that just added to the feel of having a proper getaway in The Borders countryside. You can’t walk on the immediate estate but that really doesn’t matter as there are plenty of walks in the area. What made a big difference was the warm welcome from Julie who looks after the property and who provided a number of extras for us on arrival, notably milk, fresh flowers, Prosecco, a large box of biscuits and logs for the burner. She’s also available to answer any questions or give recommendations. The cottage provides a great base for exploring the area and the coast is just over an hour away.

Wonderful property, tastefully furnished, and in a perfect location.
Fantastic cottage, with plenty room, and extremely comfortable beds, and linen. It would have received 5 stars from us if the lounge furniture had been more comfortable, with more subtle strategic lighting. An outside table & chairs would also have been great - we had fab weather during our stay!

We loved it!
We stayed in the Gardener's Cottage for a week and just loved everything about it. It is beautifully decorated and super cozy with lots of space for the two of us and our adult son and his girlfriend. It's a perfect location to explore the beautiful towns in the Borders. Also a great location for hiking. You can head out the door to the local hills or short distances to yet more trails. Hawick, the nearest town, is great for grocery shopping (or textile-mill browsing). We loved the peace and quiet of the cottage's setting. Julie, the housekeeper, could not have been more warm or welcoming! She was the icing on the cake. We would return in a flash! In fact, we are in the highlands now and feeling like it is far too touristy and speedy compared to our peaceful scene in the Borders.
