"2nd visit to this house it's excellent and would recommend, the house is well located for beach and the facilities in Eyemouth."
Has everything you need it's a well looked after house and clean and tidy. You get space for 1 car but plenty parking if you have more than one.

"We had a lovely week at The Bield."
Comfortable beds, lots of space, well equipped kitchen. I could happily live there! A few steps from the beach which was so convenient, and very relaxing to hear the sea from the bedrooms. Boys had a great time in Eyemouth, lots to do, many places to eat and shops round the corner. We hope to return.

"The pace was exceptionally close to thr beach and the area is family friendly."
Sea lions, beautiful sea, boats. The only downside for us was that it wasn't pet friendly, and my family members are allergic so they had it a little tough The rest of us were ok and enjoyed staying there.

"We really enjoyed our 7 night stay."
There is plenty of space for 5 adults, with all rooms having large dimensions. Everything was available in the house for our stay. The location is ideal to enjoy the East coast of Scotland and northern England.

"Bield cottage is a lovely large home that easily accommodated our group of 7 adults."
It is clean, well equipped and close to the beach and all that Eyemouth has to offer. We would recommend The Ship and Oblo for dining, and of course Giacopazzi for ice creams and fish and chips. The coastal walk to St Abbs is fantastic and treat yourself to lunch at Ebbcarrs cafe. St Abbs Head nature reserve is well worth exploring - orca whales and dolphins had been spotted by the ranger earlier in the week. Be sure to stop in at Borders Pottery after your walk. Other highlights were the beautiful and family friendly Coldingham Bay beach, Lindisfarne, and a boat trip to the Farne Islands from Seahouses to view the colonies of guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins.

"Fantastic cottage, can see the sea from the kitchen window."
Owner was very accommodating and helpful when we asked for help. Great part of Scotland with lots to see - highly recommend walking up to the St Abbs lighthouse to see the seabird colonies.

"The bield cottage was a lovely."
Nice and spacious, very clean. Two minutes from beach and the amenities in Eyemouth. They is loads of amazing places to drive to within an hour. The steep stairs were not as bad as I expected. I do have a bit of a mobility problem, but managed with them. The white frame bed was very noisy, could do with tightening up. Top floor bedrooms were very cold. Would highly recommend though.

"Loved our stay at the Bield."
Lovely house every thing we needed and more. So clean. Loved the shower upstairs powerful and loads of space. The bath looked lovely but sadly I couldn't get in due to bad back but mother inlaw did and she loved it. Loved the space and the little view of the sea through windows also nice to walk to the sea front in seconds on a morning and on a night before bed. Loved it can't wait to stay again. Love Eyemouth 3rd visit for us. Family holiday.

"The hose was really well equipped, apart from the fact I would have liked a shower mat in each of the showers."
I felt these were a real slip hazard. The house was comfortable, and the kitchen had all the equipment we could need. Parking could be a problem, the coop parking is only 48 hours, which is fine if you’re using the car every day, but we didn’t. Overall pleased with our stay.

"Well equipped, spacious and comfortable house."
Very convenient location. However not being able to open the windows was a drawback and one of the beds in the top floor bedrooms was broken also the radiator could not be turned off. The information given was not totally correct. We were told there was an enclosed garden -no garden just a yard through the fire door which was supposed to be kept locked at all times.We were told to ignore no parking sign -wrong information. I thought the narrow, twisted stair was the second one but it was the first.Not good if you have joint problems.

"White double bed has loose legs the middle ones on both side and this make it noisy ."
Also lots if dust on shelf in living room felt gritty like it had come off the open brickwork.
-
"Lovely property in a great location with easy access to shops and restaurants."
We loved listening to the waves at night and enjoyed our walks along the sea front and on the cliffs. We pre-ordered a seafood platter from Ross Dougal and pies from Jarvis Pickle which made Christmas catering very easy. Overall we had a great week.
-
"Great location near beach and harbour,good bus service for Berwick."
Had to clean inside cooker before using bottom tray still had some stuff on it.could do with new suite in living room,but everything else was great.enjoyed our stay Eyemouth is a wee gem.
-
"We had a lovely stay."
We’re a large family (5 children & a dog) and we really appreciated the space, games, books and smart tv. The location is perfect for easy meals and walks. It really is a great family house! The only difficult part was getting organised for bong out by 9.30 (10am would have been much easier).
-
"Perfect location in the South East of Scotland for coastal walks, the seaside and visiting the many attractions in the area including St Abbs, Coldingham, Burnmouth, Berwick and the castles of Holy Island and Bamburgh."
Facilities were first class with all amenities required for a large family holiday. Located in a quite area of Eyemouth but close to he harbour, shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. We enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend the Bield for anyone looking for a larger house.

"Toilets really need looking into."

"Beautiful place would definitely book again thank you so much all the family had a great time"

"We loved our stay in Eyemouth at The Bield."
It was a home from home and had everything we needed, lots of space and was in the best location. Loved the sea view, felt like a proper holiday. We would love to visit again.
-
"We had a great stay at The Beild, what a great place very comfortable and so close to everything in Eyemouth."
Also great that it is dog friendly with plenty places to walk. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

"We had a fantastic week here."
Couldn’t have been more central in the beautiful town of Eyemouth. The house was so spacious and tastefully decorated. The only thing that let the property down was the standard of cleaning and a few maintenance jobs needing done. Considering entry on arrival is 4.30pm and you have to be out by 9.30am on departure for the purpose of cleaning it was disappointing. We found an extra set of keys for the house (presumably previously lost) down the side of the sofa, a bottle of buckfast wine under a sofa, a kids game under another sofa. A ceiling light fitting above the bed in one of the double rooms also fell off in the middle of the night. We also had trouble with the log burner. On the 2 occasions we lit the fire smoke was escaping into the room causing the smoke alarm to go off for a lengthy period of time - even the lovely neighbours came to check we were ok! A little TLC could really make this house first class. Although the points mentioned were a little disappointing I wouldn’t say I’d never go back!

"Fantastic holiday home has everything you need."
Eyemouth has everything you need for local amenities, berwick 10 mins drive for supermarket and more would highly recommend your stay at this property

"Such a lovely property, in a great location… everything you possibly need in the property and outside the property with pubs, harbour, takeaways and shops all within a minutes walk if not less."
A bottle of wine and cookies provided on arrival which was a lovely touch, as well as personal contact with the owner over email. Huge spacious property even if 8 of you are there, every room is huge. The only downside for feedback would be the attic bedrooms that don’t have blinds or curtains covering the windows, but apart from that this property is faultless… Would love to stay again.
