“The Blue Lobster is a great cosy and quirky little house directly at the sea.”

Nicely decorated with lots off stuff made by Fiona the owner herself. Only one negative there was NO WIFI?! This wasn't mentioned on the info at the website? For my wife originated from Thailand and who doen't speak any English a small disaster! Nowadays this is quite unusual, luckily we could 'borrow' the WIFI from the neighbors. Had a lovely week and the recommendations from Fiona, Bamburgh castle and Edinburgh, were great. Will most certainly come back again and then for 2/3 weeks.

“The listing was not that accurate there was a view of a garage out of the living room not the sea.”

The cottage itself needed a good clean and refresh. The windows were dirty especially the kitchen window and looked like they had not been cleaned for a long time. The overflow plug in the fridge was full of dirt when I arrived; I had to take it out and clean the gunk off it which was not a good start and then clean the fridge before I put anything in it. We did not use the kettle as when I looked in it there was a yellowish brown film covering the inside and lid; I am not sure what this was as limescale is white so we boiled water in a pan. I had read a previous comment that stated the kitchen was not that well supplied so I took some things of my own which I am glad I did. Overall the kitchen and bathroom are dated and tired and these are the areas when you rent a holiday cottage that you expect to be of a high quality. The double bed needs a new mattress, the sheet on the mattress came loose when I was making the bed and when I looked under it there was a big stain of urine on the mattress where someone had wet the bed. There were lots of other smaller issues but altogether it was not a good experience.

“The garden is very overgrown which took away the pleasure of sitting out in it.”

“Blue Lobster is a lovely cottage at the end of a row directly facing the sea.”

It is well presented, and comfortable. There is a wealth of places to visit and activities to do locally. We found the signal for our mobile phones was poor downstairs, but ok upstairs, due to the cottage's site at the bottom of high cliffs. There was no wifi, this was not mentioned in the listing either. We enjoyed our stay and intend to return soon.

“A cosy and comfortable stay in lovely surroundings with everything we needed.”

Quiet location only a few yards from the sea. Within easy reach of many superb walks and drives to explore the area. Dolphins swimming in the bay outside the cottage windows, seals and abundant birdlife. Beautiful views from sitting room and double bedroom. Parking immediately outside the cottage. would love to return.

“By the sea”

We choose this house because it is very close by the sea. Rockpooling galore The interior is tasteful and cozy. There is a digital-tv with dvd-player, no stereo equipment. Good choice of books nad dvd's. The beds are fine. Kitchen is ok, electric cooking though. Pots, pans and utensels are a bit spare. The surroundings are outstanding, close to Berwick and naturereserve St abbs.Great sandy beaches south of Berwick and you can go to Edinburgh as well. In short we had an outstanding holiday! Be aware for the road to house it is very steep!

About the location

LOWER BURNMOUTH

Berwick-upon-Tweed 6 miles.

The tiny fishing hamlet of Lower Burnmouth enjoys an idyllic location at the foot of picturesque cliffs of the Berwickshire coast. Uninterrupted coastal views, an interesting rocky shoreline and quaint fishermen's cottages are just some of the features that give Lower Burnmouth its enchanting appeal and in the summer grey seals can often be sighted in the sheltered bay. There is a pub about 1 mile away at Upper Burnmouth, and shops in both Eyemouth, 4 miles away, and Berwick-upon-Tweed, just 6 miles away. Holy Island, St Abbs with its spectacular diving, the Farne Islands, the wonderful beaches and castles of North Northumberland, and the rolling countryside of the Scottish Borders are all within easy driving distance. Why not visit the vibrant capital city of Edinburgh, only 40 minutes away by rail?
