    Home was ok...found a discarded utility knife blade on the bedroom floor, kitchen sink was dirty, and the house smells of smoke & musty. Area is very quiet in September, but I'm sure is beautiful in summer. Beds are comfortable and washrooms are in good working order. Water views are awesome.

    The position of the house could not have been better.Wonderful sea view, with a patio to sit on and enjoy. The house had all the mod. cons you could want. Our only gripe was the towels. One very thin towel each for a week was not enough, they weren't thick enough to dry you after a shower. Otherwise very enjoyable stay.

    It is a comfortable spacious house. We stayed with 5 adults. Very nice there are two bathrooms. The garden is also very beautifull.We cooked our own meals; there could have been more pans to accomodate that. The view is very nice; we had some cloudy weather though not a lot of rain. So we could enjoy the view and also visit botanical gardens and Chinese ponds for a walk.

    Had the most fabulous time at St Abbs, beautiful house, and the views are just out of this world. Everything you could need is available in the house, and the beds are super comfortable 10/10 We looked the whole view from the balcony watching all the boats & cruise ships going by. I couldn't recommend St Abbs enough it jas everything to offer and more, we will definitely be booking for longer next time.
