“Southfield was ideal for 3 adults.”
Two good sized bedrooms, cosy sitting/dining room, convenient kitchen and parking at the front door. It was very clean and provided everything that we needed. Chirnside is an excellent base and is famous for being the birth place of the Racing Driver Jim Clark. His grave is in a nearby Church grave yard and there is a museum about him in Duns.

Two good sized bedrooms, cosy sitting/dining room, convenient kitchen and parking at the front door. It was very clean and provided everything that we needed. Chirnside is an excellent base and is famous for being the birth place of the Racing Driver Jim Clark. His grave is in a nearby Church grave yard and there is a museum about him in Duns. We were very lucky with the weather during our stay and travelling by car around the area (Alnwick, the Borders and East Lothian) was delightful. Very little traffic at this time of year and the hedgerows were full of blossom, the verges covered in snowdrops and daffodils, the snow topped hills (the Cheviots) in the distance and the fields full of lambs.
We enjoyed walking the Elizabethan walls at Berwick Upon Tweed and would recommend The Maltings for lunch. Alnwick Castle lovely to walk around it has something for all ages - the Giant in the Lake, the rose gardens and water feature, the Harry Potter connection, shops and Tree house Cafe. Eyemouth has a working harbour, beaches,Seals to feed, crabs to catch and access to the coastal walk. There are lots of castles(some habitable some ruins) throughout the Borders. The nearest one is in Duns and there is a walk around the lake open to the public and the castle is used for events. Floors castle partly open in the summer, lovely gardens and The Terrace Cafe and Deli very good. Lovely river walks at Coldstream, North Berwick a lovely coastal town with East and West beaches, boat trips around the Bass Rock and to Fidra Island (seasonal). The ruins of Tantallion Castle on the outskirts and a Bird observatory near the harbour. Very easy to fill your days.
