With the wonderfully secluded location and warming features, this cottage is perfect for friends to come together and enjoy a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle.

This cottage comes at the end of a stunning terrace, walk in and the games room sits on your left, perfect to keep you busy on a rainy day.

To the other side of the entrance porch is a fabulous dining room which leads onto the well-appointed kitchen.

To the back of the house sits a spacious, warming sitting room which boasts plenty of seating, an open fire and a TV, all accompanied with fantastic views over the garden and the stunning countryside beyond.

You get a choice of gardens with this property, you can either make the most of a delightful front lawn, or sit and chill in your private back garden and just take in your surroundings.

Coldstream is an excellent town to base your holiday, it has a pleasant range of shops and eateries as well as a number of activities to embark on including cycling, golf and horse riding.

The delightful coastal town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is within driving distance and is certainly worth a visit whilst you're in the proximity.

“We had a lovely, relaxing week at Sawers Rest.”

The homemade bread, eggs, wine were really welcoming. Pat was very friendly and informative and rightly proud of the house and garden. Thoughtful touches (flowers, slippers, games, parking disc) cosy beds, wonderful countryside views. Enjoyed taking it easy on the patio. Plenty of space for four of us. Location felt very peaceful and rural but easy to drive to local towns and a little bit further to the coast. ...

“Sawyer's Rest was a fantastic location to base our holiday.”

We couldn't have asked for more from the cottage and there were lots for my wife, my two boys (aged 3 and aged 7) and I do. Would recommend Sawyer's Rest to anyone looking for somewhere to stay to explore the Scottish borders and Northumberland.

- Smith, August 2020
Miss Fox August 2020

“Had an absolutely brilliant holiday.”

The cottage was beautiful and in a stunning location. Very peaceful and quiet......just what we needed. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The owner, Pat and the neighbours were all friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated.....especially the homemade bread!! We really hope to return and have already recommended the cottage to family and friends.

“Lovely clean house very comfortable and warm the owners left everything needed for our arrival.”

Mr Davidson January 2020

“The cottage is lovely and even nicer than the photos suggest.”

There was plenty of space, and the living room was an especially great place to sit and relax - it had underfloor heating which was just the thing during January - whilst the dining room was a terrific area to sit and enjoy a family meal also. There was attention to detail that made the cottage a proper home from home during our stay. The kitchen had every amenity, and Pat was a super host too. He was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend Sawers Rest as a place to explore the Borders!

- Mr Davidson, January 2020

Mr Cunningham November 2019

“We love getting away in the autumn as the weather turns cold and the colours of the countryside change, and nothing makes this better than to have a nice cosy cottage to stay in.”

Sawers Rest exceeded our expectations in being a great cosy cottage and situated within easy reach of of the beautiful Scottish Border towns. We visited both Kelso and Eyemeouth enjoying the sights and dog friendly pubs for our lunches - although the weather was wet, it made the cottage more welcoming when returning - especially lighting the fire and sitting back to enjoy the dual aspect views across the fields and woods. Everything worked in the cottage with ease, making our stay more comfortable.

- Mr Cunningham, November 2019
Mr Wright November 2019

“We booked Sawers Rest knowing we’d need a much needed break and this amazing cottage didn’t disappoint.”

Upon arrival we were greeted by Pat who gave us a warm welcome and his knowledge of the surrounding areas. We especially enjoyed the milk, shortbread and rosé when we got settled in! We found the cottage to be incredibly clean, warm, spacious and homely and felt incredibly comfortable after only a few moments! The open fire was a blessing and the view from the living room of the open countryside was breathtaking; uninterrupted natural beauty! During our stay we visited St Abbs, Eyemouth, Kelso and Edinburgh (Via Sheriffhall Park & Ride) and would recommend a visit to all these beautiful places. Overall a real gem of a cottage! Thank you Pat and Erica!

- Mr Wright, November 2019
Mrs Sharp October 2019

“Really clean, beautiful veiws.”

Perfect field for the dog, pat went out of his way to make us feel welcome especially with the welcome basket of milk, butter, wine and homemade bread. So comfortable!

- Mrs Sharp, October 2019
Mr Waterhouse October 2019

“The rural setting of this beautiful cottage made a relaxed and restful weekend.”

The access to the amazing countryside and area ini general was perfect. There were no negatives what so ever about our time away.

- Mr Waterhouse, October 2019
Mr Bunting October 2019

“This was a lovely autumn break in a beautiful warm and cosy cottage with a fantastic location and great views.”

It was a delight to find that Patrick, the owner, had baked us a loaf of delicious brown bread, still warm, not only that but he had left us a welcome pack of Scottish shortbread and wine. The open fire was already set for us, so only a match needed to complete the evening. The cottage was very clean and well presented, with wonderful bed linen awaiting for the evening. The lounge was comfy with a large settee ready for relaxing. The owner ensured that we had everything in the kitchen including tabs for the dishwasher and tablets for the washing machine, tea, coffee and milk. The view is wonderful with a great track to walk the dog. This cottage was a lovely find, one which we will be booking again.

- Mr Bunting, October 2019
Mrs Stanley September 2019

“We had a very relaxing holiday.”

It was easy to drive to neighbouring villages and beaches and although a little remote the views from the lounge are stunning.The cottage itself is lovely and homely inside and everything spotlessly clean. Pat's homemade bread is delicious and a nice surprise to find a welcome pack. Hopefully we will have a return visit.

- Mrs Stanley, September 2019
Miss Pulman August 2019

“Great location to explore the Scottish Borders.”

Cottage was beautiful and in a lovely location, well equipped and really clean. The welcome pack was indeed very welcoming and the owner was extremely helpful and made us feel at home.

- Miss Pulman, August 2019
Mr Farr August 2019

“Great accommodation, nice clean and fully equipped.”

Thanks Pat and Erica for the lovely welcome pack, which was a lovely touch. Great location, nice and rural with long distance views at the back (and will be even better when the farmer harvests the fields at the back). Everything straightforward to use / info in the guest pack (we didn’t use the log fire and even though there were a few cooler nights, the house still felt warm). Edinburgh only 1 1/4 hour drive away (we visited twice for the fringe), this was also during rush hour! Pat has great knowledge of local and surrounding areas and give a few tips where to and which roads to go on or avoid. Overall we had a great holiday. Thanks Pat and Erica. The Farrs, Wilsden, West Yorkshire.

Mrs Andrews July 2019

“What a fantastic cottage!”

We loved everything about it and just wished we could stay longer! The cottage was extremely comfortable, very well equipped and furnished to a high standard ... a real home from home. The owners had thought of everything and were still trying to find ways to make it even better! A peaceful location in a beautiful part of the country. We would definitely recommend this property.

Mr Linton July 2019

“Back garden not safe for dogs”

- Mr Linton, July 2019
Mrs Flood June 2019

“Immaculately clean, we read the feedback book the night before we left which showed dogs had previously stayed but apart from the tiniest amount of hair on the sofa throw we had absolutely no idea a dog had ever been in let alone several, super clean and everything you could possibly need throughout the cottage.”

The homemade bread was much appreciated and very tasty, also supplied milk juice wine butter and biscuits. Owners live a couple of doors down and nothing was too much trouble they were very helpful and friendly. Gorgeous property in lovely quiet surroundings. Plenty of leaflets available for the local area. Would highly recommend

- Mrs Flood, June 2019

Mrs Durkin November 2018

“Host Pat was ex element and very friendly & helpful.”

I was looking for peace and quiet and I got exactly that. Hopefully I will be able to go back another time.

- Mrs Durkin, November 2018
Mrs Porter October 2018

“On arrival we were greeted by the owner who took us round the property.”

Inside there was fresh bread, milk, butter and treats for our dogs. The only thing that we would have changed is better blinds/ curtains for the bedroom (we slept in the master). We like to sleep in sometimes and the light just woke us up. other than that small thing it was amazing. the location was idyllic and calming. You can truly escape here.

- Mrs Porter, October 2018
Mrs Richardson September 2018

“Lovely cottage in a very peaceful, rural location.”

Ideal for those wanting to get away from it all, but also a good base if you want to explore the area with Edinburgh not too far away. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped and the owner who lives nearby was very helpful and friendly. We definitely hope to return to this cottage.

- Mrs Richardson, September 2018
Mrs Richards August 2018

“Sawer's Rest was a delightful place to stay.”

The accommodation was like a home from home and the welcome was warm (as was the loaf of freshly baked bread waiting for us). We enjoyed watching sunsets from the excellently placed living room and ate well both by using the well equipped kitchen and local pubs and takeaways. We felt that the cottage was one of the best we had ever had. Our dog loved being able to run around the edges of the wheatfields.

- Mrs Richards, August 2018
Mrs Van Den Brande July 2018

“The weather and the very comfortable cottage have all come together to make this a truly enjoyable holiday!”

The cottage has everything anyone could need to make this a home from home. Thanks to the owner Patrick for being so friendly Leen Belgium

Ms Cameron June 2018

“We had a fantastic four night stay at sawers rest.”

We were met by the owner who gave us a very helpful introduction to the area and had provided a lovely welcome pack and even some toys for our toddler (very well received!). The cottage was great - spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped - quite possibly the best we've stayed in. The area was nice too - very peaceful with lovely farmland views, but with villages a 5-10 min drive away. Would love to come back and would highly recommend.

- Ms Cameron, June 2018
Mrs Wayman June 2018

“Sawers Rest is a delightful cottage.”

My husband and I chose the cottage to rest and recuperate and it was perfect in every way. Everything from furnishings to kitchen equipment was to a very high standard and beautifully presented. The location was ideal and we enjoyed many sunny hours on the patio overlooking the wonderful countryside. The same view could be enjoyed through the wall to wall windows and patio doors of the beautiful lounge. The owners Pat and Erica were extremely welcoming and helpful and the thoughtful homemade loaf of bread, butter, milk, etc., on arrival was a wonderful start to our holiday. We hope to return.

- Mrs Wayman, June 2018
Mrs Endersby May 2018
