1st comment: Location. Oct 2009.
2nd comment: A very good secluded spot; excellent as a base fro touring or as a place to hide away.. Secluded and in an unspoilt estate close to the small town of Duns. Aug 2009.
3rd comment: This has got to be one of the best cottages, for that area of the north east, we have stayed in yet. The brochure & website did not reflect how amazing the place was. We will revisit. April 2007.
