  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!!

  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!

  It was such a privilege to stay in this unique and lovely cottage.

  So perfectly located to reach magnificent houses, castles, monasteries and towns. We particularly loved the sculpture trail from St Abbs and also Melrose ice cream and chocolate shop! We enjoyed both the countryside and the beaches before returning to this magical place where you can explore the private grounds, walk in the woods, watch the sunrise over the cornfields and enjoy the wildlife and wildflower garden. Inside, we loved everything about the cottage - the art, the interior design, the opportunity to remember how to play the piano, the warm fire and the feeling of comfort and relaxation. This is a gentle, quiet house. It requires respect and understanding. If you take the time to explore it, it has so much to say. Very special. Sorry to leave. Thank you x

  Our party of five adults and two dogs had a lovely stay at Polwarth Crofts.

  The house is well-equipped, clean and comfortable, and the area quiet with plenty of birds and butterflies around the garden. Bats at night too if you're patient! The lack of light pollution made for great star gazing as well. There are plenty of places to visit nearby, and the adventurous members of our party had fun exploring. It has been a chilly summer overall, so we can also note that the heating works well if needed! We definitely recommend a stay here as long as the features of an older house (all accurately noted in the listing) work for you. We really enjoyed spending our week in this beautiful house. Thank you Rachel, and John too, for being so responsive when we had any questions, it was much appreciated.
