Summary: We stayed at the Garden Cottage and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the gardens. Also we took full advantage of the many walking trails in the local area. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfy. We would love to come back again!

Summary: Such a gorgeous property - I wish we could have spent more time here! Check in is easy as can be. Highly recommend this for a getaway in nature. The cottage is comfortable and lovely - albeit with a few spider friends, but they are no bother. The owners left a homemade lemon loaf as well! The gardens are just stunning and I could have spent hours walking through them, not to mention the trails around the estate. Definitely hope to come back for a longer stay in the future! Thank you!

Summary: No complaints regarding cottage. It was absolutely lovely. However I found the VRBO logging in processes convoluted and difficult. Didn't actionally receive any last minute information, and neither was it available to me on going looking for the information on VRBO.

Summary: The perfect place to get away from it all. The Garden Cottage is situated at the edge a beautiful garden and set within an estate which boasts forests, rivers and hills. Withdirect access to the national cycle path 1 there is lovely quiet lanes to explore some of the Border towns. There are also mountain bike trails in the woods surrounding Yair. We had a brilliant day out at the 7Stanes, Glentress, this offers a huge array of excellent mountain bike trails. The property is beautifully finished, has excellent TV and wifi and the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for family meals. The owners are welcoming and ensure everything is as it should be for a super family holiday.

Summary: Garden cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. Olly was at the cottage to meet us and explain how everything operated. The cottage has been recently renovated - looks amazing and is incredibly comfortable. The shower is spacious and powerful and the bed supremely comfortable, dressed in beautiful cotton - we slept so well at the cottage. We dined at the cottage most nights and it was a pleasure to cook in the stylish and well equipped kitchen. The garden is outstanding and it is a joy to walk in the extensive grounds. We were fortunate to enjoy some fishing and Alan is a knowledgeable and charming ghillie. We look forward to returning very soon.
