2nd time staying here! Ideal location for piece and tranquility. The cottage is clean and comfortable, and the host is so friendly and helpful!! Only negatives, there's no WiFi and the signal is abit hit and miss. Not a problem, as not the sort of place you want to be in touch with the outside world! The floor boards are also very cheeky!!

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Heatherfield had all the amenities you need for a quiet and idyllic retreat while being close to some beautiful Scottish Boarder towns. Hosts were also lovely.
