It was situated in a quite estate close to lots of local attractions and the train station. The owners are very friendly and the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

It was ideally placed for using the public bus service and I really enjoyed all the walks I did in the local area whilst also managing to finally complete the Borders Abbeys Way. What a stunningly lovely area! I was so lucky to have a dry and mostly sunny week and would happily stay at this property again.
