After 3 days here we found a large live slug crawling on the carpet. This prompted us to make a close inspection of the property and it was filthy. Cobwebs and dead insects in almost every window, dust so thick you could write in it and dead and live insects in the bathroom and bedroom. Gross is an understatement. Would not stay here again if you paid me. Will be seeing them soon in the small claims court.

The Coach House was ideally situated for travel to the beautiful East Coast in both Scotland and Northumberland.. It was reasonably well equipped, we were pleased to find a washing machine and dishwasher there. The owners were very helpful and in no way intrusive. The sat nav doesn't take you there if you put the postcode in, it's about 1/4 a mile off! So be aware. We had a very pleasant week

Lovely and peaceful, nice touches, such as tea and coffee and books and games
Mrs Read, September 2020

The Coach house was quiet, private, peaceful and relaxing, the owners met us on arrival and had a quick word on leaving also - at a safe distance of course.. We used the Coach house as a base to visit houses and gardens and seaside towns. Even under the present circumstances (coronavirus) we still found places to visit, cafés to get a drink or food safely, with track and trace in evidence everywhere and with most people observing the social distancing rules.

We've stayed here a couple of times - it's really lovely - set in beautiful grounds.. It's around 8 miles to the coast - and well situated for exploring the Scottish Borders too.
Mr Greenland, August 2020

Having stayed previously we were pleasantly surprised by the updating carried out on the property.. The decent sized TV was very welcome. The cooking and dish washing appliances were top notch. We had a great stay and will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay very much.. The owners are delightful people and cannot do enough to make our stay a happy time. It’s in a great location for places in Scotland and England. Can be slightly difficult to find using sat nav, but there are signposts pointing towards the properties. Our only negative was that the weather being cold we would have liked the bedroom and bathroom to be a little warmer. There was a great selection of books available. I got through 3 Don Camilo books. TV reception is excellent and a good number of channels are available. Wi fi is pretty good! The wood burning stove is nice and wood was supplied. It makes the living room toasty warm! We would have no hesitation in coming back here again, this being our second visit here.

Absolutely loved our 4 night stay.. We wanted a quiet peaceful corner to recharge from our hectic work life and the coach house was perfect. Ideally situated for jaunts out to the coast and further into Scotland. We stayed early February and ventured out late one evening to listen to the owls and watch the stars, as the temps dropped we got back inside to the cosy log burner. Would love to visit again, highly recommend it.

The coach House was very nice , quite and situated in nice place .. we went for our wedding Anniversary and we enjoyed it . Liz was very kind and welcomed us with some milk and a nice pack of cokies . overall we did enjoy it and we will go back again .

Near the end of a very hard-working year, The Coach House was exactly what we needed.. We were greeted by our friendly and helpful host, who had provided milk and luxury cookies. The apartment felt like our own corner of a country house, simply and stylishly presented. By day, we enjoyed hill walking and quiet beaches. Late November, so it was dark soon after four... The Coach House includes an unexpected and welcome bonus. Guests have a choice of holiday reading. On one bookcase, there's an impressive selection of vintage crime. The other is dedicated to current and recent books. Curled up by the woodburner... Perfect...

Only problem outside the property was very dark no lighting and slippery with leaves on the floor .. Outside a bit derelict .inside was lovely
Mr Ellis, November 2019
October 2019
The Coach House was part of a building that had a central courtyard that was charming.. Although there were two steps to access the property the accommodation was all on one floor with no steps inside and the rooms were spacious and not cluttered so it makes a good holiday for people, like me, with mobility needs. It was extremely well fitted out with both dish washer and washer/dryer plus standards like micro wave oven, toaster and DVD player. Liz and Mike were also very helpful, assisting me to unpack my vehicle, arranging for somewhere undercover to park my mobility scooter overnight and charge it. They also sorted any and all queries, or issues I had during my stay. The area is very good for a number of differing reasons, historic, walking, within reasonable distance of Edinburgh, Hadrian’s Wall and other places. The local town of Berwick also has a lot to interest, besides Ye Olde Superstore Morrisons, the town walls, castle (remains of), battlements and buildings. I spent several days there and still did not cover all I wanted to see. A gem I found was The Union Chain Bridge, the oldest suspension bridge still in use in Europe, however, despite its antiquity and historic value very few people seemed to know of its existence and it had few visitors. I loved my holiday, if I come back to the area I will certainly see if The Coach House is available.
Miss Chambers, October 2019

Very comfortable warm house.. Great location. Wonderful courtyard view. Slightly difficult to find on sat nav but phone call quickly sorted Very friendly helpful owners. Great location for sightseeing and wandering over the border. Very quiet. Fantastic views of night sky. We will definitely return here.

Very happy and pleased with our time at The Coach House, very well placed for making the most of the local area and the very interesting towns, castles and loads of wonderful scenery.. If you visit Coldstream be sure to call into the Mad Hatter's Cafe, very good.

If you want to get away from it all this is the place So peacefully and quiet.. .not a sound except for a tawney owl at night. Only 15 mins from the A1 with all the beautiful towns along the coast. We loved it.

We was given 2 numbers to ring to find out we're we was to collect the key from, after a 4 hour drive we called both numbers and both went into answer phone. We arrived at a very large old house with property all over the place, we wasn't comfortable just wondering around so we sat in the car a piped the horn, still nothing thier was no one around. Although Liz the owner did apologise it still can't change our experience. The cottage itself is really lovely and very peaceful.

The cottage was good but the outside space was a disgrace.. Gate was all green moss,patio was covered in green moss,dead leaves and dirt.Windows needed a wash They had an old red telephone box in the garden and it needed cleaning if you have garden ornaments ,focal points they should be clean and tidy.

The accommodation was located in the grounds of the main house which is set in a peaceful area.. The hosts are very friendly and approachable and made our holiday very pleasurable. We would happily return in the future.

The cottage was fabulous; spotlessly clean and with all the facilities I needed for a relaxing stay.. The owners were friendly and helpful. I can't recommend the cottage highly enough for anyone who wants to have a quiet break or wants to explore this beautiful part of the country.

Mr Hunter
November 2018
Although I like a firm mattress My partner and I found this mattress was very hard and disturbed our sleep quite a few times during the stay.. Some of the pans were missing in the cottage and we had to ask the owner if she could get us some more (Which she did quite promptly) And the windows of the cottage were quite dirty too and had obviously not been cleaned in quite some time. We also had to ask what the WiFi code was too because this was not apparent in the cottage. I know these are quite small problems but they stopped me from giving the cottage a better review.
Mr Swan

A very excellent short break for us on the occasion of Margaret's 80th birthday and the accommodation was ideal for two people.. The peaceful location was great.

We thought the cottage had everything we wanted but the pressure of the shower was very poor and disappointing .. Seemed strange as the kitchen sink had high pressure . Cobwebs on the bathroom window .

This quirky, old apartment has a very spacious feel to it and retains many of the original features.. The owners have added a fab log burner and furnishings are fitting for its age. It was warm and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped as was the utility room. A lovely country garden setting was peaceful and the resident owl most entertaining. The owners could not have been more helpful.
Mrs Jennings, October 2016

We settled in very quickly and The Coach House was very clean and comfortable, furnished with traditional furniture as befits its age. The peace and quiet was idyllic and we came and went as we chose, although the owner was always on hand if we needed her. I would definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

The Coach House is a ground floor 1 bed flat in an old coach house for a stately home demolished in the 1920s. It's a very attractive, quiet place, in a secluded part of the world. We've stayed there a couple of times for short quiet breaks, and love it. Short distance from the Lammermuir and Cheviot Hills, and also some very nice coastline and beaches. The village also has a very good pub for food. We'll definitely be back!

the Coach house is a great place to chill out and get away from the hustle. Setting is great and peaceful and the facilities are excellent. The woodburning stove was fabulous and made for great cosy evenings. It is a good base to explore the lowlands and the beaches along the coast. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay
