The Cottage has its own stone walled garden with ramp access and secure gates, secure storage for bikes in the adjacent farm buildings and access to our two acre wood with a path leading down to the small burn that gives the property its name. The garden has a BBQ (charcoal provided) and outdoor furniture for you to use. There is parking for 3 cars and there is ramp access to one of the entrance doors.
The lounge has comfortably upholstered rocking and reclining chairs and sofas, HD smart TV with freesat and WiFi broadband, available free subject to “sensible use”.

All the beds have premium mattresses and duvets, pillows and bed linen are provided. A travel cot is available on request, but please bring your own bedding for it.

Cornhill on Tweed has a wonderful village shop and Coldstream - just across the border into Scotland - has a large Co-op with a cash machine, good Indian restaurant (eat in or takeaway), Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop, petrol station and of course, the Guards Museum. The Collingwood Arms in Cornhill has a bar, a bistro and a restaurant.
You can walk to the Tweed from the wood and there are several other decent walks that start outside your back door.
In a car, you can be in Berwick or on a beautiful sandy beach in 20 minutes and either Newcastle or Edinburgh in about an hour. If your interest is in history or the natural world then the Scottish borders, the Cheviots, the Northumberland National Park and Kielder Forest are all on our doorstep and all provide excellent days out.
Golf, fishing and gliding can be found nearby.
We live in the Farmhouse next door and are available to sort any queries or problems but will not intrude on your privacy.

This was a family get together for New Year and a birthday celebration. The property is as described and plenty of room for 10 of us. The hosts were so helpful and friendly we would definitely rebook

Tony and Dorothy made us feel very welcome! The cottage is no frills but exactly that we needed and expected, and ideal for a family with lots of young ones and an active dog

It was home from home, we all loved it especially the children who particularly loved the private woods and gardens. We were made to feel very welcome from a very friendly couple with gifts on arrival. We will definitely go back.

The children were spoiled between playing in the enclosed garden, exploring the woods attached to the property or sharing the many toys provided. We were all fascinated by the housemartins and swallows building their nests all around the buildings and hearing owls and seeing bats as dusk fell. The cottage feels secluded but is easily accessible from the road. A perfect base for the many attractions offered within a relatively short drive.

We found the area ideal for walking the dogs and enough places to visit during our week

Lovely and relaxing place to stay and re charge our batteries. Just a little out dated in certain areas. Could do with a set of draws in one of the bedrooms and a chair would be handy in the bedroom. Just lovely people and could not do enough for you . Thank you so much for your hospitality. Mary Hurst

Beautiful setting over looking farmland, lovely hosts who are very friendly and helpful. The only things that stopped this from being perfect was a lack of storage space, we had good all over the place as no cupboard space and this is the first property I have had to live out of a suitcase due to lack of storage in the bedrooms
8.0 / 10.0
Friendly, knowledgeable hosts. Extremely well equipped, including numerous toys, games and books for children. Also books and board games for adults, a good lawned area for children to play and adults to relax. Beds and sofas were all very comfortable, decor was a little bit tired. Excellent value.
