About this cottage rental
This comfortable, light and extremely spacious detached ‘upside-down’ house is set on a working farm in beautiful countryside.. Situated in an area with minimal light pollution and benefitting from starry night’s skies and peaceful surroundings, which you can enjoy from the lovely garden, Fairlaw Garden Cottage offers cosy, family accommodation with easy access to Northumberland, Berwick-upon-Tweed and an array of activities available throughout the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh and Lothian.
Alnwick Castle and Gardens is situated south of the property whilst Edinburgh is easily reached to the north, perfect for an action packed day out. Fairlaw Garden Cottage is also located just a few miles from the spectacular beaches and coastlines of south east Scotland, including Coldingham Bay and St Abb’s, offering spectacular surfing and bird watching. The surrounding countryside offers fabulous walking opportunities with Southern Upland Way and St Cuthbert’s Way, to name few. For keen golfers, Eyemouth, Dunbar, Goswick and the courses of East Lothian are within easy striking distance.
Fairlaw Garden Cottage is situated next to a working farm surrounded by rolling countryside. This detached former dairy building has been converted into an excellent base for families or small groups seeking a peaceful haven for relaxing and unwinding. The cottage itself has been set out in an ‘upside-down’ style to take the full advantage of the views towards the Cheviot Hills and the coast. The large, beamed, open plan living area is a great space for the family to all be together and the second living room is perfect as an alternative space to relax later on in the evening.

Very clean, well presented cottage in lovely setting.Very quiet, dark skies, warm and cosy.Generally, high quality finish everywhere, from lovely natural fibre bedding and towels through kitchen cutlery. I'd advise taking your own large fry-pan if you are cooking one pot for a group.Clearly well cared for by the owner with some lovely touches like fresh flowers from the attractive garden.We would return without hesitation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful part of the country. It was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The open plan kitchen dining and living area suited us well, and cosy evenings with the TV in the separate lounge. We had plenty of space inside and out. The local pub served tasty food although a little limited, and the post office in Reston sells so much more than stamps! Close to Eyemouth and other gorgeous coastal spots. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting. Has everything you need. Comfy beds. Well thought out for visiting children - bathroom locks are high up out of reach of small children, night lights are provided. Great space outside to run around too.
Had some lovely days out at Coldingham Sands and St Abbs head.

Lovely, clean and cosy cottage. Out in the middle of nowhere so you need to travel to visit places. Local pub, the Craw Inn, serves great food and staff very friendly.
