We stayed at this spacious farm house and loved the big, dog-friendly garden - perfect for our furry friend! The kids enjoyed feeding the hens and collecting fresh eggs every morning. The hot tub was a real treat after long days exploring nearby country houses and scenic spots. The kitchen is well-equipped, so good cooking skills come in handy! The owners were super helpful, reaching out beforehand with useful tips. All in all, a fantastic holiday for our three-generation family. Definitely recommend for a relaxing escape!

We loved staying here! It's a fantastic base for exploring the Borders and coastline. As astronomers, we appreciated how dark the skies were-perfect for stargazing. We had three clear nights and captured some stunning images of the universe. The location is ideal for small groups of astro-enthusiasts. We also enjoyed trips to Vindolanda, Edinburgh, Lindisfarneand St. Abbs Head-great walks and beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend!
