Emma J.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. The location is perfect for exploring the Bordersand the owner clearly puts a lot of thought into making guests comfortable-there were DVDs, games, booksand jigsaws for rainy days. The eggs from their chickens, fresh fruit, home-grown vegand treats were a lovely touchand they even provided milk if you forgot yours. Our dog was also well looked after with a bed, bowlsand treats. Definitely a great find!
