There are few immediate facilities in the village but we were aware of this on booking and everything you could need is only a short drive away. Excellent location for those wishing to explore the surrounding areas. The secure, enclosed, rear garden area great for those with four legged companions. Would go again.

The property is very well equipped and has an enclosed back garden with a lovely view of countryside We really enjoyed our stay, thank you. Only a village shop so you do have to drive for more facilities but not too far away. Berwick is the closest town. There are lovely beaches at Berwick(Spittal beach) and Eyemouth. It was lovely as nowhere was crowded and everyone very friendly :-)
