Pros
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this quaint, comfortable, well-equipped cottage and would go back again! Particularly appreciated the welcome pack of food and drink, and basic essentials, eg loo roll and a few dishwasher tablets etc, so we didn't need to rush out immediately to go shopping. Very peaceful location by the river, with beautiful views and parking available a few metres away. Perfect location to walk the dogs straight out of the front door. Comfortable beds, especially the master bedroom. Appreciated having an ensuite bathroom for each bedroom. Tiny kitchen but perfectly functional and well equipped. Easy collection of keys using key box code (located behind external door which leads to the passageway towards the back garden).
Very helpful and friendly owner who was always very responsive. Coldstream is a nice town to visit and well situated for exploring the local villages, countryside and the coast.
Cons
Need a car as there is no train station in Coldstream, unfortunately. We went on a day trip to Edinburgh, so recommend parking the car at the train station in Tweedbank (or Berwick on Tweed).
