We had a lovely holiday at Blackadder Mains. The accommodation was first class with excellent facilities and a superb garden. Our host Brian could not have been more helpful or friendlier. We will definitely be booking again.

Wonderfully restored cottage with a lovely farmhouse kitchen complete with AGA and a large sitting room with a log stove (and lots of wood!), surrounded by old fashioned gardens. We found the owner very welcoming and helpful. What more could we ask for a relaxing and comfortable stay!

Myself, my husband and our Dog, Bonnie recently stayed at Brian's cottage for ten days and what a brilliant holiday!
The cottage has been so lovingly and carefully restored, the pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s cosy and homely, the kitchen is very well equipped with all the various utensils and pots and pans you could need and the gardens are stunning. Staying in June meant a lot of the garden was in bloom with fruits and veggies starting to ripen and it was a real joy to spend our mornings sat outside with a coffee and again in the evening with a beer. Bonnie in particular loved running around the huge field!
The location is fab, very quiet and peaceful and yet only 20 minutes from the beach and 20 mins from Berwick for shops and the supermarket.
The Cross Inn is a fab pub approx. 10 mins drive away – although we definitely recommend booking as it gets busy.
Overall, we’d definitely recommend Brian’s cottage and we hope to book again for another trip soon.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2017
Lovely area for walking with the Lammermuirs close by and lots of things to see and do if that takes your fancy. Cottage well equipped and quirky. Aga wonderful but cottage looking very tired and would be impossible for any cleaner to clean it as it needs work. However, even a lick of paint might be a good start.
