Guests have enjoyed the enclosed garden, especially those with dogs, and found the cottage well-equipped for a relaxing break, despite some minor maintenance issues.
Most guests found the cottage comfortable, but there were mentions of dust, cobwebs, and a few cleanliness oversights. These did not detract significantly from the overall experience.
The cottage's remote setting offers beautiful scenery and direct access to Craik Forest, which is highly praised. However, the distance from shops and main roads was a minor inconvenience for some.
Guests consistently noted the cottage's cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and warm environment, contributing to a restful and enjoyable stay.
The cottage is appreciated for its amenities, including a washing machine and tumble dryer. Some guests noted small maintenance issues like a broken grill handle and an oven door that opens on its own.
While guests were content with the facilities, there was no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

This holiday cottage offers the perfect escape from the modern world. While there is a TV with Sky available, the internet connection is not reliable, and mobile signal in Craik is limited making it an ideal retreat for those looking to truly switch off and get away from it all. The cottage is in a secluded, rural location, with the nearest shops, pubs, and restaurants located 12 miles away in Hawick. There are also smaller local shops in nearby villages. When it comes to activities, you won’t have to travel far to find something exciting to do.
This semi-detached house is is an ideal retreat for either a family of five or a small group. All three bedrooms are located on the upper floor, whilst the bathroom is on the ground floor. The main living space is also on the ground floor, too, where you can sit and relax at the end of a day spent exploring or engaging in activity-based fun in the surrounding area. Kick back and relax in front of the wood burner on a chilly evening, while the ‘chef’ enjoys preparing and cooking on the larger range cooker. Whether you choose to sit outside in the rear garden taking advantage of that view or sitting at the table in the kitchen you’ll have plenty space. At the rear of the kitchen a utility area which is ideal for storing muddy boots and drying off muddy dogs. Both the front and sizeable rear gardens are enclosed, and the rear enjoys a stunning open view over the surrounding countryside and forests.

What a hidden gem. The road in is fabulous. You aren’t totally isolated which is good. There’s everything you need at the cottage. We absolutely loved our time there.
