A lovely well presented holiday cottage. Clean, modern great facilities in the cottage. All bedrooms were a good size and comfortable. Two bathrooms plus a wet room. Property would be ideal for any guests with mobility issue. A wood burning fire in the living room was warm and cosy. Fantastic kitchen/diner, with all the equipment you need. Great sized garden. The cottage is in a lovely rural location. Our host Natasha was very welcoming and informative. Lovely welcome pack on arrival and Natasha kept us supplied with farm fresh eggs. Our family really enjoyed our stay at Shepherds cottage. Dunbar was only a short drive away and there was easy access to the A1. We would certainly recommend this holiday home and hope to return again soon.
