Summary: Wonderfully restored cottage with a lovely farmhouse kitchen complete with AGA and a large sitting room with a log stove (and lots of wood!), surrounded by old fashioned gardens. We found the owner very welcoming and helpful. What more could we ask for a relaxing and comfortable stay!

Summary: Myself, my husband and our Dog, Bonnie recently stayed at Brian's cottage for ten days and what a brilliant holiday! The cottage has been so lovingly and carefully restored, the pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s cosy and homely, the kitchen is very well equipped with all the various utensils and pots and pans you could need and the gardens are stunning. Staying in June meant a lot of the garden was in bloom with fruits and veggies starting to ripen and it was a real joy to spend our mornings sat outside with a coffee and again in the evening with a beer. Bonnie in particular loved running around the huge field! The location is fab, very quiet and peaceful and yet only 20 minutes from the beach and 20 mins from Berwick for shops and the supermarket. The Cross Inn is a fab pub approx. 10 mins drive away – although we definitely recommend booking as it gets busy. Overall, we’d definitely recommend Brian’s cottage and we hope to book again for another trip soon.

Summary: We really loved staying here. It was beautifully appointed throughout, with so many really attractive features. We loved the garden and the paddock (which was a delight for our dog). We would definitely think about holidaying here again.

Summary: Wonderful cottage, beautifully renovated with great taste. The kitchen with the electric AGA is very comfortabel and inviting, and the living room with a big window stove warm and cosy (with open doors to the garden for warmer seasons). The location was perfect with a short scenic drive to either the beach, the muirs or the Cheviot Hills. Edinburgh is only 1,5 hours away and there’s a good train connnection from Berwick upon Tweed. Paxton House is only a 10 minute drive as is the pub. We had an amazing time in the Borders while staying in this oldfeel but very modern cottage with many thanks to the owner - Brian - for all is help.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Blackadder Cottage - a genuine home from home, and even better than the photos suggest! The beds were very comfortable indeed, the fire a lovely feature, and the extremely well-equipped kitchen (especially the aga) made cooking a real pleasure. There are lovely walks a short car journey from the house - including those at Paxton House and Duns Castle Estate (there were many more around but we ended up going back to these twice so didn't reach them!). Brian couldn't have been a kinder host and went above and beyond to make our trip a memorable one. Highly recommended :)

Summary: We all had a lovely, relaxing break. The weather could have been kinder and we would have done more but the cottage was a real warm retreat from all the wind, rain and today, snow! A great holiday was had by all six of us; plenty of space for quiet time and family time. We will be back.
