An absolutely fantastic cottage in the best location! Equipped with everything you need. The views are amazing, we finally saw a seal on our last night. Local amenities are a 10 min drive away, Eyemouth is a must especially Giacopazzis for fish & chips and ice creams. St Abbs Head is beautiful and Coldingham is a quaint village and a must see.Finally, the neighbours are all so friendly, especially Davina, Caz and Joan & John, they make you feel very welcome. Our time here was so good we’ve booked again for next year!
