"It was a pleasure to stay in this lovely cottage."
Everything we could need was provided. The bed we used was comfortable and it was easy to keep the dogs out of the bedrooms. The surrounding estate is stunningly beautiful, you can be down at the river easily and quickly. The cafe nearby is friendly and clean with lovely baking. We will certainly book this house again.

"A first rate stay in a beautiful cottage by the River Tweed."
If anything it is undersold. The grounds of the Country Estate are wonderful and. Five minute walk through the grounds and you are on the river bank. The cottage has three en-suite showers/ baths and are of good double size proportions. An excellent kitchen which is well equipped, although the addition of a steamer would be useful. Very comfortable lounge and conservatory. The Lane by the house is of no bother. Very good parking for three cars behind the house and by closing the wooden gate makes it secure for dogs and children. Plenty of wild life in the juxtaposed woodlands. The owners offered us the use of two electric bikes. All the people we had contact with were friendly, smiley and genuinely nice folk. The owls at night added to the ambience. Lots of places to visit and we had a day in Edinburgh going by train from Tweedsdale. Lots of towns and villages to visit. The river Tweed was captivating and walks along its banks with the lambs and bird life was truly captivating. We holiday in Scotland at least three times a year. This was a superb experience and we all agreed, our party of five, that we will revisit again. The week was quite superb

"Great location, great stay."
We stopped at East Lodge while visiting family in Scotland. Pre-arrival we were sent details of what was there, how to get there and how to park. On arrival the Lodge was very clean, tidy and spacious. It has everything you could need and then some. Location wise it feels secluded but you can be in Innerleithen within minutes where there are shops and places to eat. We will definitely be back.

"We enjoyed our stay at East Lodge very much."
The owners told us that the area is usually very much better but storm Arwen had caused lots of damage, but this was our first visit and it was still beautiful. The cottage itself is wonderful with plenty of room and everything you could need with the added bonus that you could call the very helpful owner for anything you might require. Being mid December it was very cold for the first couple of nights but the log burner took care of that ! The cottage is secluded but a short drive along a single track road will bring you to Walkerburn with another few minutes to Innerleithen with it's shops, cafe's and takeaways should you need them. At the cottage you are free to walk the grounds with just a short distance to the river Tweed, if you enjoy fishing, this is the place for you!!
A lovely cottage in a lovely area, highly recommended :-)

There are a variety of walks from the house which were enjoyed by our two Westie. The owners live close by and were very friendly and helpful.
Would recommend a visit to Galashields to see the Great Tapestry of Scotland, it is beautiful and certainly worth a visit.

"Very comfortable stay."
Everything you need provided. The owners sent a very helpful email about what was provided beforehand. Lovely location off the beaten track. Very quiet, lovely grounds. Lots of walking on the doorstep, including riverside walks. Lots of wildlife. The road in is single track with passing places, and we rarely met anything, so not a problem. Easy reach to Edinburgh, Kelso, Peebles etc.
Our only criticisms, and they are minor, is we found the pillows a bit hard, and for a cottage which would accommodate 7, a 4 slice toaster would be better, but not a deal breaker!
Would happily stay here again.

"The house was nice and we appreciated the en suite bedrooms."
We weren't however expecting the kitchen to be as small as it was. The photo on your website is quite misleading. We found it very narrow and difficult for more than one person to be in at a time. We knew there would not be a dishwasher but feel it would be very useful given the lack of space. We are a family that loves to cook so were disappointed with this. The cottage is in a lovely setting though and we very much enjoyed lots of great walks both in and beyond the estate.

"From the moment to arrived to our leaving it was wonderful."
I really can't think of any bad points. The cottage was clean warm and very well appointed. Ideal if you have a dog some lovely walks on your door step. Close to small village but not within walking distance about 3 miles. Galashiels and Peebles equal distance if you want more shops. We actually didn't venture further than the walks with the dog. Excellent wi fi. Will return beautiful setting

We had such a wonderful and relaxing holiday. I would definitely return to this part of Scotland and to this cottage. It is quite a bit further from the village than we expected which wasn’t a problem for us but anyone hoping to walk to the local store might be disappointed.
Great area for walkers and cyclists and a bit off the usual Scottish tourist trail so the roads etc. were not that busy.

It is a perfect location for a getaway without being too isolated that you have to pack the kitchen sink to take with you. Plenty of shops and options close by but the Lodge itself is set in some beautiful grounds with nice walks and scenery as soon you step out the door.

Lots of gorgeous walks with the dog and, thanks to the perfect seasonal weather, sledging for kids. The surrounding forest brought birds, pheasants, grouse etc., to the garden.
The owners were welcoming and couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant.
The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The wood burning stove added to the cosy atmosphere at this time of year.
The number of lovely bathrooms was a real bonus.
Nearby Peebles was a lovely town to spend a day. And a train trip to Edinburgh for Hogmanay was the real icing on the festive cake.
A perfect new year holiday.
