About this property
Lower Burnmouth 0.4 miles. A charming former fisherman’s cottage, Partan Cottage near Ayton on the Scottish Borders is the perfect place for a fun family holiday. With dramatic cliffs and scenic coastline, the cottage enjoys a simply stunning location and the seaside setting is reflected in the tasteful coastal hues that resonate throughout the property. A delightful open-plan living space greets guests as they arrive with beautiful features such as an attractive seating area, a traditional inglenook fireplace complete with a stove-effect fire, picture windows and solid wood flooring, which all add up to create a really welcoming ambience. The stylish kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to rustle up delicious food for the holiday party and the adjoining dining area means that cooking can be a truly sociable experience. You can imagine pulling up a chair, pouring a glass of your favourite tipple and keeping the designated chef company. Outside, there is a communal terraced garden where you can soak up any sunshine or take a seat on the bench at the front, where you can breathe in the fresh sea air and soak up simply mesmerising sea views. All that outdoor activity will no doubt have tired everyone out, so take your pick from two pleasant bedrooms; a king-size and a double. Both are well-presented and offer a wonderful opportunity to recharge your batteries before waking up refreshed and raring to go.

Nothing new has been built here in seventy years. The lady next door has lived here for over half a century. Traffic management consists of a rope stretched across the road acting as a speed hump. Despite all that the cottage lacks nothing in modern amenities. Beds are comfortable and everything is clean and tidy. For the benefit of others, if you want live tv then either press ITV-X or BBC-I-player and press on âlive tvâ. We loved it here and would recommend it to others.

Great views. Car access a little difficult. Blessed with great weather and no easterly breezes
