A homely cottage by the beach which had all the amenities you would expect. However to operate the television you had to have the cupboard door open, a quirky sink tap in bathroom that operates in the wrong direction. An oven that would benefit from a good clean and 5 chairs for people staying and sufficient cutlery eg knives (we bought a pack), the rug in top bedroom needed repositioning because kept tripping over it. All are simple fixes but did not detract from the lovely restful stay we had. The welcome pack was a appreciated and we would certainly visit again.

Disappointing there was no shop or pub in the village at all and we had to travek to Eyemouth or Berwick. Cottage was fine and well kitted out. Garden was overgrown with weeds and a bit meh!
