The cottage was everything you could ask for - great location lovely little house and very cosy with a really super open fire.. The kitchen was very well fitted out and the bedroom had a view over the village rooftops to the countryside beyond. The beds were very comfortable too. My only comment would be a reminder that there are stairs- the bathroom is upstairs and there is a rather high step to the kitchen! Personal plea to ALL holiday cottages - please provide higher chairs.

Really enjoyed our holiday at Blinkbonny Cottage , St Boswells.. The cottage was spottlessly clean and comfortable , with a lovely sitting area in the back garden and although on Main Street it was quiet and sheltered . St Boswells is a lovely place to stay, a quiet village that had a good deli and book shop and we had enjoyable meals at both the local restaurant and hotel restaurant.

This is our 3rd stay at blinkbonny cottage.. It is home from home. Lovely friendly village, lovely walks around the tweed for our dog. Golf on your back door. Lots of places to visit. Central for everywhere without being in the town.

This is a lovely little cottage right in the heart of St Boswells and is an ideal location for seeing the Border area.. We booked Blinkbonny cottage as we had a wedding to attend in the local church a short walk away. We were very impressed with the presentation of the cottage which was very very clean and although small had been very well done.
