Gordon Lodge

The property was as stated, a new and stylish bungalow with everything that you may need.

We had an extremely pleasant stay. The village was quiet with friendly neighbours. Plenty of places handy to visit, inland or coastal.

An excellent property.

This was our third visit which says it all. An extremely well appointed property with everything provided. Ideally suited for exploring a very beautiful part of the country.

I wrote in the visitors' book that if I'd had a more successful career before I retired, that is the house I would have bought.

It has all mod cons and to have an oven at eye level was a revelation to me. The beds were super-comfortable and the open outlook from the garden was a splendid release from the stress of everyday living. I liked Swinton because all the people I met were friendly and approachable. The weather , too, was kind. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

excellent cottage.

spotlessly clean couldn't be faulted. very well equipped with everything you needed well located for touring the area. near to a nice pub/restaurant lots to see and do . secure garden for the dog. one of the best we have ever stayed in

Had a lovely week in the Scottish borders and Gordon lodge was a great place as a base.

Lovely bungalow and garden for us and our dog. Really enjoyed it so we've already booked to return in July. Thanks for the welcome pack.

Our second time and hope to book again very soon

Beautiful cottage in a quiet rural spot.

Furnished comfortably and tastefully. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with all you need. We went autumn and it was warm enough and there were electric radiators to supplement this. Lovely pub just round the corner on the main street. Fabulous base to explore the surrounding area. The only negative was the shower wasn't very powerful as being electric meant if you wanted the water warmer the flow was greatly reduced. It could really benefit from having a grab rail in there too, but just a small niggle. All in all highly recommended.

Gordon Lodge was an amazing place to stay.

It was spotlessly clean and comfortable and felt very homely on arrival. The garden was huge, plenty of room for the dog to run around and was also very neat and tidy. It was just a short walk to the village and also surrounding fields. Will definitely be wanting to return!

Looking to book for April next year ,lovely property and so much to do in the area.

The perfect place to stay if you want to discover the eastern borders.

A very comfortable bungalow in a quiet village with an excellent pub/hotel if you want to eat out. There is plenty to do in the area to keep you busy make sure you visit the Jim Clarke museum in Duns (6 miles away) with his unbelievable trophy room. it would have been a 10 out of ten if there was a radio.

This place exceeded our expectations!

Huge enclosed garden for the dog, very peaceful. Sun loungers in the shed helped us to relax and enjoy the garden and scenery too! All mod cons indoors, very tastefully decorated. Would highly recommended.

We have stayed at many cottages through Sykes over the years Gordon Lodge was the best so far.

The standard of cleanliness, comfort, and location was excellent (10++) we have already booked again for next year. We had everything we needed to make our stay perfect our dog Reggie loved the outside space and there was plenty of places to go within 30 mins from the lodge.

This was our second visit to the property.

It is a beautifully presented bungalow which is immaculate. Everything that you might need is provided. It is spacious and extremely comfortable. There is a large lawned garden which is fenced and 100% safe for pets. A quiet rural location with beautiful countryside and easy access to the coast. Great value. Gordon Lodge provided a perfect holiday venue.

This property gives a "brand new" feel.

It is spotless and well looked after. Tastefully decorated, perfect layout and nestled on the edge of a little village. Views from bedroom and garden are lovely with fields and mountains. Garden gets sun all day when out. We arrived in darkness and approaching on backlanes we saw badger, 2 owls, deer, hares galore, stoat all within short distance. Superb property just over the Scottish border. Berwick-on-tweed 20min away and has supermarket, outlet eateries, beaches to walk, parks. National Trust and English Heritage sites are wonderful. Thank you for our stay. Will definatly be on our number 1 for a break up north again ❤️

Fantastic modern, clean, warm and comfortable holiday accommodation.

Well stocked bungalow in a rural setting. Could not fault anything. Highly recommend. Plenty to do and see, the area has amazing beaches. We were lucky to have a sunny, hot week in April. Thank you for a relaxing holiday.

New property at the edge of a nice village in a good location in the borders of Scotland and England so a great place to spend a week going to places like Berwick, Farnes and Edinburgh.

Also nice walks and very close to the river Tweed. We did not have a dog, but this property allows dogs and it is a secure garden as well. The only disappointment for us was the garden needed some attention, lawn getting very long and the view of the next field was full of building items that look like it was left over from this area being built. Also put the bin out on the correct date, and notice the licence needed to be renewed so they would not take the bin. Other than this we had a good week, weather perfect for this time of year.

Lovely modern bungalow with everything required for a good holiday.

All very comfortable, nice and warm, good tv, seating, beds, fully equipped, everything very clean. Good location for visiting nice places. Only setback the hob is the new induction type and we could not work it - luckily we took our own air fryer! Would highly recommend it for everyone.

Exceptional holiday cottage, immaculate and everything you need for a perfect relaxing holiday.

Comfy beds and spacious rooms. Great gardens and ideal seating to admire the views. Molly the dog loved the gardens too.

It was an honour and pleasure to be allowed to use your bungalow for our holiday.

Your bungalow is the most fantastic base for exploring the Borders. We would recommend visiting Holy Island, St. Abbas, Coldstream for the history and Holy Trinity Church in Berwick, a Cromwellian church but with beautiful stained glass windows. Once again thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful property, it is hoped that we will be back!

Extremely clean and well equipped, great garden, lovely village, locals very friendly

Lovely property quiet area on edge of friendly village.

Well equipped and comfortable. Accessible for borders plenty of historic Scotland and national trust, coast and country all near by. We had a very relaxing week.

Wonderful cottage in a great location.

First class property. We loved our stay and hope to return soon.

Our stay in Gordon lodge was excellent, the cottage was extremely comfortable and situated in a lovely setting.

We couldn’t find any faults at all, and have nothing negative to say about the cottage. It was within very short distances to several places to visit in the borders. Ignore any negative feedback from visitors as they are simply not true this was a lovely break and perfect cottage.

Such fresh, clean accommodation.

The constant, temperature control throughout our stay was particularly pleasing to my mum. The walk-in shower was also a great advantage to her. Within easy reach of various sight-seeing hotspots, though exploring the beautiful walks around the village, with our dog, was also hugely enjoyable.

Really nice house.

Warm and comfortable with high quality furnishings and bedding etc. The kitchen is very well equipped. The garden is also secure for dogs or children. A great location as Swinton is a quiet and peaceful area and plenty to do within a reasonable drive for days out. This was our third visit to Gordon Lodge and we have another booking for September as we really like the house and the area.

Excellent all round.

One wardrobe door had jumped of its runners, but I fixed it for you. Only problem we had was navigating the controls of the cooker. However this is not a criticism, since we are of a generation that are constantly at odds with modern electronic technologies

Fabulous cottage, we had everything we needed.

Very warm and comfortable. The shower was very inviting until you switched it on, there was little flow, I assume due to lower pressure. The grass was very long which with a sausage dog who could hardly be seen outside

The bungalow was perfect you wouldn't change a thing.

it was so spacious and it felt more like a home. plenty to do in the surrounding areas. the kitchen was well equipped all in all just a stunning place to stay. the owners thought of everything

Really lovely place.

No complaints. Worked out really well for our family. My youngest wants to go back. Was very impressed with all of the amenities in the home. Most holiday stays you are short on basic kitchen items. Very nice welcome basket and very comfortable beds. Lot of extra effort and quality/costs put into the home instead of buying basic items.

We had a great time in a modern, clean and comfy Lodge, it is rural, as the listing says, but many attractions are with in a short drive.

Just take plenty of supplies. The only thing that spoilt it a little was that the lawn had not been cut so the garden was a mess and the black dust bin was full, we ended up bringing our rubbish home. On the last morning we woke up to a power cut, not the Lodges fault, but it meant we had to leave with out our morning coffee or being able to run round with the hoover as we normally would. Are power cuts a regular occurrence? if so a battery hoover may be a good idea. Would stay again in the same place.

A beautiful property.

Extremely well appointed with everything you might need. A large enclosed garden was ideal for our miniature schnauzer. Ideally placed for interesting towns and beauty spots. We spent an extremely happy week at the property and would recommend it as a Borders property to anyone.

Fantastic home from home experience.

Cottage was immaculate and could not fault anything. Very spacious home and on sunny days you get the sun from morning till night. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. The owners have thought of everything that you may need or use on holiday. Highly recommend a stay here and hope to be back soon xxx The Thomson family

Fantastic accommodation in a lovely little village.

The locals were extremely friendly and I would highly recommend the area. Ten out of ten.

A beautifully finished attractive new cottage in a very quiet area handy for exploring the Borders.

Spotlessly clean with excellent attention to details, would highly recommend. Thank you

A charming cottage in a quiet location, beautifully fitted out and spotlessly clean.

Fantastic property had a great week.

Could not fault anything!

This holiday home has been absolutely perfect for us, very clean, well equipped (it has everything you need, description doesn’t list everything it has) and in such a quiet and peaceful area, at night you can only hear your own heartbeat!

In great location for exploring Scottish Borders and Northumberland. Great garden for the dog to run around in as well, we’ve had a lovely weather through the entire 2 weeks so we did a lot of al fresco dining.There’s a BBQ in the shed although we brought our own as we didn’t know one was provided. The only issue was the bins, dates provided were all wrong and when we arrived, the black bin was half full and it hasn’t been emptied despite us following instructions. So this needs to get looked at as I couldn’t find any info online on Scottish Borders council website as this address isn’t on there. Overall we have had a wonderful stay though. Thank you

Sadly the heating and hot water wasn't working until Tuesday afternoon, so we were left chasing Sykes and the Cleaning Company to get help to resolve the matter.

Numerous phone calls and emails and speaking to the site contractor meant that the heating system was repaired but it was set so low that it only worked when the heating engineer tested it on the Tuesday. As this was so stressful it really took the shine off our holiday, yet it was a beautiful wee house. The area was a little lacking in things to do if the weather was poor, which it was last week. We left the cottage a day early as we were cold and feeling quite depressed by how the heating issue had been handled and the lack if response from Sykes and the cottage owner.

Very nice bungalow welll appointed clean and tidy with a.

Nice garden well recommended

A very comfortable house in a lovely quiet area.

The house was very clean and tidy. Everything had been thought of and we loved the stylish furnishings and decoration. Great to have garden furniture to make the most of some good weather. Plenty to do in the area, Kelso, Melrose, Alnwick, North Berwick, St Abbs and Eyemouth were all favourites.

A beautiful home, very child friendly and the garden nice and spacious- kids ate every meal outside!

The owners left a cute little welcome basket with everything we need for breakfast, also lots of information on the area and nearby towns. Nice and clean and very comfortable. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you x

Beautiful place, immaculate, great facilities, everything thought of.
