Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the cottage's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. The fresh smell and tidy presentation contribute to the high ratings in this category.

The location is generally appreciated for its central position and proximity to local amenities and attractions. However, one review mentioned road noise, which slightly impacts the score.

The cottage receives accolades for its comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere, with many guests highlighting the coal fire and spacious rooms. The presence of an open fire and comfortable furnishings contribute to a relaxing experience.

Facilities and maintenance are well-regarded, with guests mentioning the fully equipped kitchen, entertainment options, and the overall well-appointed nature of the cottage. One review did mention an issue with the fridge, which slightly lowers the score.

The owner's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome pack and the owner's attentiveness. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

This lovely, semi-detached stone cottage is situated in the village of Chirnside near Duns and Berwick-upon-Tweed in the Scottish Borders. This charming cottage is ideal for a couple or small family with a pub just down the road and many places to visit nearby. Once inside you will find a charming sitting room with an open fire, where cosy nights in can be enjoyed after a day out and about exploring the area. The kitchen/diner has a door leading out to the small rear patio garden, an ideal place to relax on a summer's evening. The ground floor also includes a twin bedroom which has a feature fireplace. Upstairs, there is a double bedroom, along with a bathroom with a bath and shower over. Chirnside overlooks the River Whiteadder and has views across the magnificent Cheviot and Lammermuir Hills and offers shops, pubs, a pharmacy and a church. The coastal town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is only nine miles away and has quaint, narrow streets within Elizabethan walls, and further shops and pubs. There are a number of activities that are available in the area, including golf, fishing and walks, and there’s many other attractions both in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. A delightful holiday home to stay in at any time of the year. EPC Rating: Band G

  • Christina

    Beds were very comfortable and the large lounge was a pleasure to use and this was where Helen had provided an abundance of information regarding things to do around the area. We took advantage of this information to plan our days for long walks. Kitchen was well equipped, bathroom was ideal and the small garden was well kept. We loved our time staying in this cottage and thank you Helen for the welcome pack which was very appreciated.
