Kirsty, Alan and the rest of the their family were so accommodating to us during our stay. Myself and my parents really enjoyed staying on a working farm and being able to explore to our heartâs content. Any questions or queries we had during our stay were always dealt with promptly and with warmth and kindness. We were always made to feel welcome. The cottage itself was extremely well presented, very neat and tidy. All of the essentials for cooking and cleaning were at hand and easy to find, and a comprehensive welcome pack enabled us to find instruction manuals for all of the appliances in the cottage and information regarding rubbish and instructions for departure. There was also a freshly baked fruit cake waiting in the cottage upon our arrival which has been enjoyed immensely! I would highly recommend Craggs Cottage to anyone staying in the Scottish Borders for any length of stay. The cottage is close enough to larger towns such as Kelso to make it easy for buying groceries or eating out in the evening and located not too far from the A68, meaning it was fairly easy to get onto a main road and travel back and forth to different places in the area. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning to Craggs Cottage again one day.

The Craggs cottage nice ,clean, kitchen well equipped, was game changing with washing machine/dryer with 3 kids expecially with the baby. We had a warm welcome from Kirsty with a beautiful christmas tree ,christmas cookies. Heating was warm enough for this cold days. We loved the fireplace. Kids liked to explore the farm and visit animals every day and our dog enjoyed the big garden too. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage. We are definitely back in summer time.
