The Craggs cottage nice ,clean, kitchen well equipped, was game changing with washing machine/dryer with 3 kids expecially with the baby. We had a warm welcome from Kirsty with a beautiful christmas tree ,christmas cookies. Heating was warm enough for this cold days. We loved the fireplace. Kids liked to explore the farm and visit animals every day and our dog enjoyed the big garden too. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage. We are definitely back in summer time.

It is on a working farm, and has all amenities you would need for a relaxing stay. We went to Edinburgh, Holy Island and Bamburgh, and Kelso is a good place to see. The view from Smailholm Keep just up the road is wonderful. The cottage has a real fire and a Reyburn stove / boiler, great for a cold week in Scotland. The fruit cake baked by Kirsty was a real treat when we arrived. Overall it was a lovely relaxing break.
