Coldstream Cottage is a historic, 18th-century house that, through a phase of thoughtful renovation, has been stunningly transformed into a characterful holiday cottage boasting stylish accommodation with a contemporary look.
It is well-equipped for a family stay or, equally, a charming retreat for couples.
It offers a welcoming base, to return to at the end of a day of activity and exploration with a variety of nearby independent shops and convenient services that help make your stay easy.
Relax in the shared and sheltered patio or the private garden that catches the sun when you get home.
Maybe take a stroll alongside the river Tweed later along Penitents' Walk before dinner.
Then prepare a meal in the well-equipped kitchen or walk to the Hotel restaurant over the road or The Besom Pub for a meal.
More awaits.
