About this cottage rental

The Tackhouse is one of two adjacent cottages tucked in the corner of the courtyard. It was built in the 1830s but has since been restored and refurbished to meet modern standards, mixing 19th and 20th century furniture and styles whilst retaining a traditional cottage feel. In front is a small enclosed private garden, a sheltered sun trap with furniture for an impromtu alfresco meal and guests are also welcome to relax in the larger adjacent grounds of Castletoun House.

The Tackhouse has two bedrooms, each with an ensuite shower room and WC and both bedrooms can be arranged either as twin bedded rooms or with a king size bed - just let us know which you need at the time of booking.
Downstairs there is a well equipped kitchen with all the necessary appliances - from induction hob to a dishwasher. In the far corner from the kitchen, there is a dining table,
The living room is perfect for all the friends or family to gather in, to enjoy the evening warmth of the wood burning stove, watch the large flat screen smart TV (Netflix included) or browse the internet using the free WiFi. In the living room you will also find a good selection of books, board games as well as toys for the youngest members of the family.

The Tackhouse is in Greenlaw village, the Scottish Borders, and has charming southerly country views from every room across Blackadder River to Greenlaw Mill Farm and beyond to Catmoss Hill. It is within a minute's stroll of the centre of the village and the the lovely pub/restaurant, the Blackadder, and yet is as quiet and rural as a country cottage.

Needed a place to stay near Edinburgh, Holy Island and Alnwick and this property stood out. They do not allow pets, which is great for people with allergies. On arrival we were not disappointed, truly lovely quiet location, once we found it. The accommodation was spotless and very well appointed, perfect for our self catering needs - 3 adults. To keep costs low, we brought food with us and and the kitchen & bbq worked well. Lovely lounge area and plenty of books and games. Both bedrooms en suite, one shower only suitable for children due to size. Beds undersold really, very comfortable and perfect size - much larger than expected. Thank you Zuzana, we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay, the cottage was wonderful in a lovely village. The local pub was very good for dinner and local cafe had tasty cakes. The wood burner was a particularly cosy feature and WiFi was great for the kids.

Cottage was as described, very clean and comfy, excellent location for Scottish Borders, 2 minute walk into village but sadly not alot there, 1 pub (food was very good) chemist, small grocery store, small coffee/cake shop and a antique shop that was never open, would recommend a visit though as the surrounding countryside is beautiful, worth a trip to St Abbs, Pease Bay and Kelso. Would definetly recommend this place for a short stay and will be going back.

Clean and well equipped. No dvd player to help with the wet weather but more than made up for with Netflix.
