The village of Chirnside occupies an elevated position overlooking the River Whiteadder and offers stunning views across the magnificent Cheviot and Lammermuir Hills. A number of interesting landmarks depict the village's long history, including a 16th Century dovecot and a beautiful parish church, believed to date back to the 12th Century. Each summer, the Jim Clark Rally, the only 'closed roads' race on mainland Britain, takes place in and around the Borders as a memorial to the village’s home born champion. Just 9 miles away lies the charming, coastal town of Berwick, boasting quaint, narrow streets enclosed within Elizabethan walls, excellent shopping and dining facilities and an interesting arts centre. The local area affords fantastic fishing, golf, walking and riding opportunities and the nearby resort of Spittal offers soft, sandy beaches, ideal for a relaxing afternoon. A brilliant location for exploring historic Edinburgh, beautiful Northumbria, and the attractions of Holy Island, Paxton House, Manderson, Bamburgh and Alnwick Castle. Chirnside is a great holiday location all year round.

Previous visitors' comments about Corner Cottage:
It was quiet even though it was situated on a main road, and it was very safe for the dogs. Ideal for access to the coast.

The cottage was excellent and the surrounding area of countryside was spectacular. There was everything I needed in the village, and plenty of dog walks too.
Mr Kemp, Rotherham, May 2012
Our stay was lovely, we had everything there and it was only a 10 minute drive to other places of interest. A nice peaceful village.
