No dishwasher, it would be more useful than a washing machine..

The cottage is located in amazing woodlands but not far from other small towns .. The scenery is beautiful and it's surrounded by hills and a stream of running water nearby.

Accommodation was excellent in rural woodland surroundings.. The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to give helpful information. It was delightful to see and hear the pheasants

East Lodge at Elibank House Estate was an absolute pleasure.. It is a perfect location for a getaway without being too isolated that you have to pack the kitchen sink to take with you. Plenty of shops and options close by but the Lodge itself is set in some beautiful grounds with nice walks and scenery as soon you step out the door. The owner was a pleasure to deal with, I'm sure my group and I will be booking again.

The East lodge was beautiful, the lodge itself was lovely and clean.. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. There were 6 adults a baby and a dog and there was plenty of space for us all. The Elibank estate was lovely to walk round even in the wintery weather we had a great time. There's also a short drive to get to the local towns to have a trip out. We will be going back again as we had a great time.

East Lodge was a wonderful experience .. The cottage was of a very high standard with welcoming owners . The setting was amazing , nestling in forest with widlife all around . Although we were unable to take advantage of the walking surrounding the cottage it is an outstanding feature that will appeal to country lovers and families looking for something different . It is well situated to explore the Borders and the rich history of the area . We would recommend it highly .

Ms Douglas

Was quite remote, very quiet.. We saw pheasant and deer close to cottage. Enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful location.. Lots of gorgeous walks with the dog and, thanks to the perfect seasonal weather, sledging for kids. The surrounding forest brought birds, pheasants, grouse etc., to the garden. The owners were welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant. The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The wood burning stove added to the cosy atmosphere at this time of year. The number of lovely bathrooms was a real bonus. Nearby Peebles was a lovely town to spend a day. And a train trip to Edinburgh for Hogmanay was the real icing on the festive cake. A perfect new year holiday.

We all had a fantastic time away together.. The cottage exceeded everything we expected. It was a home away from home and was the perfect backdrop to all the wonderful memories we made. Thankyou so much.
