  We had a wonderful time staying at Craggs Cottage.

  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 heart’s 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.

  Lovely house and beautiful place.

  A couple of suggestions (we could see that the owners had just started up). 1. A little more info about the immediate area would be great. For us, the best thing would have been long dog walks (3-5 miles) from the immediate vicinity. 2. Would have really appreciated a washing line -- owners may find this hilarious given the weather when we were there, but we don't like using driers more than we have to and we'd like to have had the option of finishing things off on a drier rather than it being the only way of drying. 3. Organised recycling. As you can see from above, we're trying to live the dream. Organised recycling is really fab so that you can recycle if you want to without disturbing the owners -- just some separate, clearly labelled bins. 4. Finally the mattress on the bed in the master bedroom is on its last legs. You may get people with back ache being grumpy if you're not careful. But, having said all this, had a smashing time and we're sure this is going to be a very successful holiday cottage. We have put it on our list of places to return to. By the way, we liked the art and furniture.

  We went to Polwarth with our son, daughter in law and their 3 week old baby, and our daughter and granddaughter aged 7.

  The cottage offered us everything we needed, an en-suite bedroom where the new little family could spread out with all the equipment needed for a new baby, a large twin bedroom for our daughter and granddaughter, with plenty of space for a seven year old to hang out and a cosy double room for us with a very comfortable double bed! Downstairs, the kitchen is well equipped with everything required and lots of room in the dining room for the whole family. The cosy lounge offers a lovely space to relax at the end of the day to watch a video, play a game or do a jigsaw from the shelf beside the piano! Outside, the owners are happy for you to explore the woods and garden where there are lots of quirky little surprises to discover! The owners are friendly and happy to help in any way while leaving you to enjoy your holiday. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean and relaxing place to stay you can’t go wrong at Polwarth. Enjoy!!

  What a beautiful cottage!

  We really enjoyed our week’s stay at Craggs Cottage. We really appreciated the ease of check in after a long drive up. The cottages were also signposted from the road so easy to find. Upon arrival there was a freshly baked fruit cake waiting for us, which was very much appreciated! The cottage had its charm but was also very well furnished and had everything you could think of. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was lovely and the beds and sofas were so comfortable. Lovely views over the farm’s fields both from the front and back of the property. Another plus for us was a freestanding fridge freezer with plenty of space. We left a day early due to a late night event in Northumberland and we were sad to leave! The property is genuinely the best we’ve stayed out and we would happily return. Thank you to Kirsty for being such a great host!

  Loved our mum and daughter trip to Polwarth crofts with our 2 dogs.

  Really spacious and well equipped rustic and historic cottage. It is located in a perfect area for exploring the beaches of the Scottish Borders and northumberland lindisfarne/holy island. Lots of things to see in a 25 mile radius. Easy to find and a beautiful drive. although the garden is not completely enclosed our dogs were safe due to the amount of land around, which you can roam around on. Rachel left us to it, sending a welcome text and some Scottish goodies left for us which we sooner ate! Stayed for a week...would happily have stayed longer. Highly recommended and would definitely return. Still lots to see. Property was spotless and we had everything we needed. Even used the open fire in the evenings even though it was July! An older croft, tastefully set up...only one suggestion...a pack of playing cards!
