Had a lovely relaxing week at Seal View Cottage. It had everything we needed and was nice and clean. Great location, handy for Edinburgh and borders. Road down to harbour is a bit scary, but worth it to stay next to beach. Locals nice and friendly. Unfortunately, seals hid in next bay round the cliffs but if you go into Eyemouth you can feed the seals in the harbour.
