Berwick-upon-Tweed 11 miles; Edinburgh 49 miles.
Just over the Border into Scotland, St. Abbs is a picturesque fishing village with a delightful harbour and fishermen's cottages hugging the hillside, situated on a beautiful stretch of Berwickshire coastline. Diving can be enjoyed from the harbour, while the nearby St. Abbs Head Nature Reserve has a rich variety of wildlife and is a paradise for birdwatchers! An ideal location for walks - the Cheviots, Scottish Borders and the spectacular coastline all offer excellent walking. There is a safe, sandy beach less than 1 mile away in nearby Coldingham, which is very popular with surfers. The historic fortified Border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with shops, a museum and a castle, is nearby, and is well worth a visit. Holy Island, the Farne Islands, the attractive seaside villages of Craster, Eyemouth and Seahouses, and Edinburgh, capital city of Scotland, are all within touring distance.

Near Bank Cottage was warm, cosy and in a great location.
Mr Lodge, Derby, November 2011
The cottage was warm and welcoming, lovely garden and an open fire - fuel was included in the price. A good base for walking, and visiting country houses etc. Nice unusual shops in North Berwick and you can walk down to Coldingham beach from the cottage.
