"Gardener's cottage is in a tranquil location, a great place from which to explore the area."
We found the cottage to be comfortable and well equipped, with a cosy and homely appeal, characterful and ideal for peace and quiet.
-
"The bedrooms had a number of cobwebs around the ceiling and the bed linen was stained yellow."
I attempted to hoover the cobwebs myself to find the hoover smelt quite bad, it turned out the bag was completely full despite there being new bags in the cupboard. I changed the bag myself. There was dirt and dog hairs under the furniture downstairs so this had not been hoovered before we arrived, There was black mould in the en-suite shower which needed cleaning, I would suggest this had been there for a while given the amount showing. The hot tap in the en-suite has a sticky valve and therefore occasionally water does not appear when you open the tap.This should not detract from the location which is beautiful. Lots of nice walks in the immediate area and the main towns, Kelso and Berwick are easily accessible. I would recommend the property on this basis, however, the cleaning standards do need to improve.
Good morning. I apologise for the problems you experienced while staying with us. I will alert the cleaners to the issues you had. I’m sorry you didn’t let us know while you were staying with us as all matters would have been rectified immediately Property Owner

"Great location and relaxing."
Well equipped . Loved the two bathrooms when my grandchildren visited. The only negative was the creaking upstairs floor boards and stairs but owners can't do anything about that. Thank you for a lovely stay..
-
"Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous rural setting with a safe enclosed garden for the dogs."
Well maintained also set in beautiful grounds with amazing artwork. We have been returning here for a few years as it's beautiful and close to the A1 and border of England for visiting and exploring our favourite places.
-
"This is our 4th stay in Gardeners Cottage over the last 10 years."
Always a pleasure to come here, so clean, comfortable and quiet. Liz the owner is always very helpful if you need any assistance. The dogs enjoy the grounds and walks in the area and is a convenient base to travel out from. I can highly recommend the cottage and area.

"Gardeners cottage is warm and comfortable in a beautiful setting,we enjoyed our stay very much, and we had fantastic weather, we had a few problems with hot water but a phone call to the owners and it was quickly resolved, there was a small amount of tea bags, sugar and coffee, a packet of biscuits, and a small bottle of milk, there was no salt and pepper, no bin bags."
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
-
"We really enjoyed our holiday, lovely surroundings."
Lots of lovely places to walk and some dog friendly restaurants. Only a few small issues: a few things missing like salt and pepper (unless I couldn't find it), a cloth for wiping, more than one bin bag but apart from that we had a lovely time with our kids and dogs.
-
"It was a really lovely cottage, very cosy and warm!"
The sofas and bed were really comfy, and the setting was so tranquil. We appreciated the info folder with all the local attractions/food places' brochures etc. We also thought the water bottle in the bedroom was a lovely touch. We definitely would love to return sometime!

"A lovely cottage in a beautiful location"
-
"The cottage was comfortable and accurately described."
It was clean and warm although upstairs was a bit cold as the bedroom wall heater was still broken. We took a fan heater with us anyway which helped to warm the room (there were also some in the cupboard to use). After about 5 minutes it warmed the room up and fortunately it wasn’t too cold weather wise. The cottage is handy for Berwick and getting into the A1 which was about a 10 minute drive away and it was about an hour to Edinburgh. We enjoyed our stay at Gardeners Cottage and it suited our purpose which was visiting family locally.
-
"Property was fine for our stay."
Owner contacted us and was accommodating regarding charging my car - thank you. Heater in our bedroom was broken by a previous person. The heater in the bathroom was broken and the Wi-Fi was very intermittent. Everything else was great - thank you.
-
"Great property well equipped."
Lovely and quiet area, but a bit remote for our liking but great if you want the remoteness.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Gardeners cottage, a well equipped, clean, cosy and private space, set in beautiful peaceful grounds."
It was exactly what we wanted and we will definitely be looking to come back.
-
"We spent a week at Gardener's cottage , the furniture and decoration was a little dated , but this added to its quaintness It was calm and peaceful and the surroundings were picture perfect."
The owners had thought of everything, tea coffee, sugar washing up liquid,toilet rolls, dishwasher pods and even biscuits, this was very thoughtful, the only thing lacking was a mop so I could map the floors as the weather was wet and with the dogs coming in and out ,but would definitely recommend staying at the cottage if you want to relax.
-
"Our 2nd time at this property."
Its great for the dogs with the space outside/grounds. Very comfy sofas and beds. Very good value for money.
-
"After reading other reviews we was hesitant but no need to be."
Location wise was perfect for us snd our 12 years old grandson. Tge ei fi was adequate to stream a film. We would return if ever in area. The bed were very good as well.
-
"The cottage was very clean."
It was well presented, nice sized property. It was well laid out and had everything we needed. The only downside and nothing that the owners could remedy was the sap from the tress - left a sticky mess on the car. Would definitely recommend and would use again.
-
"Although it is an old property it really needs some maintenance Non of the under cupboard lights or over sink lights work Toilet roll holders falling off Needs a good clean throughout Have stayed in lots of Sykes cottages and this was the worst."
Owners need to spend some time getting things sorted, when you can’t get in until 5 and have to be out by 9 they have more than enough time to check things are ok before your arrival. Finally give it a good thorough cleaning
Hello, we are very sorry that you were unhappy with your stay. I am sorry that you did not let us know during your stay that you were unhappy with aspects of the cleaning. and maintenance. If you had done so we would have dealt with them immediately kind regards Liz Hardy Property Owner
-
"We were very happy with our stay but there was just a few negatives-as someone else said it could do with a bit of updating."
I went to put the lamp on in the living room on the first evening and there was dust and a spider on it. I was looking for something I had lost & there was dust under the couches and wrapping paper or something under one of the single beds(didn't check what it was). Would have preferred a double bed rather than 2 single beds pushed together. There was a problem with water coming down into the kitchen from the main bathroom but we did let the owners know & they came & sorted it straight away so no problem there. I would say if there is any problems at any properties let the owners know so they can deal with it otherwise how would they know something is wrong. After all the negatives it is a lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings,you do need a car as not much shops etc in the area but I would still recommend it & appreciated the tea, coffee sugar and cakes.
Thank you for your feedback. I do apologise for any shortcomings. We are glad you let us know and that you enjoyed your stay, Property Owner

"The outside sitting area table chairs are extremely dirty with pollution."
They are to dirty etc to even sit on without contamination clothes . The surrounding fence and slabs also require good jetting by doing this would be pleasant to sit outside.
-
"Perfect holiday cottage in the perfect location."
Stayed for two nights in the Gardeners cottage. It was warm on arrival, there was milk in the fridge and coffee and biscuits on the side. The cottage was clean and homely. The living are had two big sofas, which were extremely comfortable to sit on, the beds were super comfy too. Definitely will go back there, especially with the garden being enclosed so my little dog couldn't get out.
-
"This is a charming and comfortable cottage and we really enjoyed our stay."
I would say however, that some upgrading of the facilities is required. The plumbing is inefficient which was fine for a couple of days but wouldn’t be great for a longer stay or for more people staying, and the kitchen is very tired. We would have appreciated some cleaning products such as kitchen roll and bin liners. The location is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. Over all it was good value for money.
Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry that there were no cleaning products available for you , this must have been an oversight on our part, had we known that there was an issue with this we would have been straight across and delivered what you needed. Thank you for your feedback Property Owner

"After a long journey it was a perfect little comfy little cottage."
We couldn’t ask for better… being in among the trees and having the courtyard garden was perfect. Nice and cosy too, cheap holiday cost It was fab. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone
-
"The Gardeners property for me is a perfect location outdoor quieter with good facilities for a relaxing holiday."
Also it offers good access too for not so far away beaches and lots of places of local interest. It is also great for the dogs and would recommend it to all friends and family. Dereck
-
"My rating on comfort may be a bit unfair, but the couches were rather low and our aged knees found it difficult to stand up, without Assistance."
-
"Lovely clean and quiet cottage, all the amenities you could ask for."
Hosts are very friendly. Will be back to stay in this wonderful place
-
"We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Gardener’s cottage."
Thanks so much
-
"Absolutely lovely stay again (this is our second visit)!"
Beautiful cottage, beautiful part of the world, humans and dogs equally happy! Thanks so much Liz, you were so helpful too. Couldn't have been happier!
-
"Me and my family really enjoyed our stay at gardener’s cottage."
The cottage was exactly what we thought it would be comfortable, warm and cozy. We all had a relaxing Christmas and felt very at home in the cottage with everything we needed.
We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. Have a happy new year when it comes and we hope you’ll visit us again soon Liz and Mike Property Owner
-
"5* comfortable, clean and beautiful."
The grounds are amazing with wild pheasant roaming around, you could hear the tawny owl at night, so quiet and peaceful. Beautiful cottage. Would highly recommend.
-
"The location was fantastic and exactly what we wanted."
The property what basic and done what we needed it to in regards to resting your head, eating and showering etc. The area where the cottage is was actually fab and could be such a managet. However the property needs some serious TLC and some basic cleaning like getting rid of cob webs up walls and stains on the carpets up stairs. The beds came across clean but when we initially walked in you could smell damp or almost a wet dog smell, opening the windows and getting some candles done the job. Looking at it and the price we paid reflected maybe why it was just over £300 but I wouldn't have paid any more. All that to one side there was tea, coffee, milk and some snacks which was appreciated! Especially after a long journey. We found the location gave us opportunities to go to many places.
-
"Dog friendly cottage in a great quiet location for exploring the local area."
Welcome pack of milk, tea and biscuits etc. was a pleasant surprise. Friendly owner introduced himself and checked that we had no issues. All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable stay.
-
"Lovely quirky place."
Comfortable bed,warm and cosy. Gardens very relaxing and peaceful.
-
"Lovely cottage and enjoyed our stay."
It was well equipped and the welcome package was a lovely touch. However, a few things could be improved. Fitting of electric showers, so that you don't have to rely on the immersion heater. We discovered that once one shower was had, you had to wait for water to reheat. With three other adults, that is a long wait. A deep clean was needed to remove cobwebs and clean windows but sofa and beds very comfortable.
-
"Thank you to Liz and Mike for providing us with a lovely and welcoming holiday cottage."
We had a wonderful stay and went to some wonderful places. Everything about the cottage was spot on! Lovely hosts, who were there if we needed them. Would recommend Gardener's cottage, for a relaxing stay. Pat and Terry and our dogs x
-
"The owners are lovely."
The cottage could do with a good clean sweet packaging found under sofa pop bottle and paper in singles room, face wipes under our bed, toilet seat was being replaced when we got there but toilet roll holders in both toilets needed replacing and oven and hob needed cleaning plus some kitchen lights not working, don't be put off by my comments as it's in a beautiful place, nice dog walks, close to some fantastic beaches about 30 minutes drive. Grounds are lovely. Just needs a little loving care. Would love to go back, really enjoyed our stay.
Thanks for your feedback. I’m so sorry that the cottage wasn’t up to standard when you arrived. I wish you had let me know and I could have spoken to the team and have it dealt with immediately. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay however. It would be lovely to welcome you back Liz Property Owner
-
"Cottage was very clean and location was great, our three mutts loved the big field across the road for a run."
Nice touch having netfix and prime ready to use after a long day's walking. Will def be staying there again.
-
"Could do with more pots and the amount of towels supplied was insufficient 1 bath towel per person, just as well we brought some of our own."
I’m so sorry you didn’t feel you had enough pots or towels, if you had let s know we would have sorted it straight away. I hope that you enjoyed your stay nonetheless Kind regards Liz Property Owner
-
"Very welcoming and friendly hosts lovely and quiet with plenty of wildlife and lovely walks thank you"
-
"It was lovely weekend break."
You could not have asked for a nicer, very well maintained cottage. The owners welcomed us upon arrival and were very accommodating. HUGE field 2 minutes away for our dog to run around in. Very peaceful surroundings. Plenty of kitchen utensils etc and a fully equipped kitchen. I would defo recommend the cottage and will be going back again. Thanks for a lovely weekend!!!!
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay! We would love to welcome you back Liz and Mike Hardy Property Owner

"Oh l and my family really enjoyed this place was really like home from home in everything and comfort of the beds ,the cottage the environment where absolutely excellent, it really made our holiday nothing to complain at all , We did not expect the standard we saw the cottage from the advert ."
-
"Thanks Liz & Mike for another fantastic week in Gardeners Cottage."
Lovely grounds for our labrador to explore. Cottage is lovely and cosy for a quiet getaway. Nicely situated for exploring the Scottish Borders or Northumbria. The milk, coffee and biscuits were a welcome surprise on our arrival. See you next March {:>)) Steve & Janice (and Treacle!)
It was lovely to have you here! Have a lovely summer and see you next year! Kind regards Liz and Mike Property Owner
-
"This is a really nice little semi-detached cottage with an open-plan downstairs and two good sized bedrooms upstairs."
It's very comfortable and clean, and my only niggles were that given that we were there in early March, the bedroom heaters no longer work and the bathroom heater comes on for about a minute then overheats, cuts out, and won't come on again (or at least not in the time it takes to have a shower). If you are there in the summer months that probably isn't something you'd worry about, but we had a few frosty nights when it would have been good to take the chill off the bedroom a bit, though it wasn't actually cold up there. But the biggest put-off to returning for us was the insistence on leaving by 9am. Everywhere else we've been (even during Covid) has had the more reasonable exit of 10am, and while it might be little difference to some, for me trying to get my 80-year-old husband out that much earlier was enough to have us leaving the day before the end of our week, just to have that bit more time to sort ourselves out in. In terms of location the cottage is well-placed to both get up to places like Edinburgh and down to the lovely Northumberland coast, which was ideal for what we wanted.
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the heating in the bedroom and the bathroom were unsatisfactory for you. They are both on timers that perhaps needed adjustment? I’m sorry you didn’t let us know about this or your difficulties with our check out time, we would have certainly have dealt with both issues. We would love to welcome you back another time and do our best to iron out any difficulties Kind regards Liz Property Owner

"This is a gem of a find!"
I wish I could give it more stars because it deserves it. We can’t wait to go back in the summer. Better than good
Thank you for your feedback, we’ll be delighted to welcome you back! Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage overall Clean and comfortable but there were large cobwebs high up the walls Wi-Fi signal was great ."
. always a bonus 9am checkout was a bit too early
-
"Lovely lovely stay"
-
"Had a great time at Gardeners Cottage."
Excellent in every way. Spotless, comfortable, ideal for all our needs including our three dogs. 9 am check out was a bit of a hurray, but understand the reason behind that. All in all , we had a great holiday and will definitely be back again. Thanks to all concerned .
It was lovely to meet you! We would be delighted to welcome you back, Liz and Mike Property Owner

"Holiday was great only problem was leaving before 0900 and booking in after 1700 ..."

"Lovely cottage in beautiful peaceful area the owner Liz was lovely and very welcoming to us and our dogs ."
We really enjoyed our stay.
-
"We had a great week."
The cottage was clean and very comfortable, with everything thought of such as extra cleaning products, towels and a nice welcome teabags, coffee and biscuits. Good set up if you have young children and a dog, with a secure fence to the front. Only a short trip to lovely beaches. Our kids loved it!
-
"Would have loved to stay longer"
-
"The house was clean."
The WiFi worked well. The owners were on hand if needed but not at all intrusive. The grounds were perfect for the dogs. We also had fantastic weather which made the whole holiday so enjoyable. Would definitely book again. Thanks.
-
"Great cottage, sheer bliss if you want peace and quiet only two things to improve on."
1 there are no hooks to hang dressing gowns on whilst having a shower 2 it’s a pity that the patio area is always in the shade, needs some pruning of the tree. Chairs and table great but no sunbathing!
-
"Excellent location, cottage layout really good , great for dogs and walking."
It was a good base to visit St Abbas, Coldingham bay, Berwick and many others would give this holiday a 5 star rating.
-
"The cottage is in a very peaceful setting and within walking distance of a lovely pub."
We loved watching the bats flying around at dusk! The owners were very welcoming.
-
"Lovely, quite stay."
Cottage well equipped. Would do with a better clean, very dusty with some spider webs here and there. But that didn't bother us that much. Helpful hosts. Plenty of places to sightsee. Definitely worth recommending.
-
"Excellent location for exploring the Scottish Borders."
Home from home. Loved the fact WiFi was hit and miss. Nice to have a break away from phones etc. My 12 year old actually had to talk to us.
-
"Wonderful greeting and lovely owners."
House was wonderfully equipped and easy acc to great beaches. So quiet and calm atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and hopefully stay again.
-
"Just loved this cottage, perfect base for me and my friend and our dogs to explore Berwick and surrounding areas."
... really comfy in beautiful grounds.... I would definitely recommend and give 5 stars to the host.
-
"This was a lovely cottage that allowed dogs."
Was very clean on arrival, excellent facilities and very comfortable. The owner was very helpful when I contacted her to say we were lost and went out of her way to help. The cottage was great with the patio at the front, but also lovely grounds to walk in. Would highly recommend it and will hopefully be back again.
-
"Really comfortable cottage in nice surroundings unfortunately we had to leave 3 ..."
Really comfortable cottage in nice surroundings unfortunately we had to leave 3 days early due to illness but would recommend this accommodation to anyone and we will hopefully be booking to return soon
-
"Lovely well equipped cottage in a lovely quiet area."
Owners were really helpful and friendly. One very slight recommendation would be to invest in new mattresses in main bedroom as they were not very comfortable. Other than that highly recommended xx
-
"We really enjoyed our stay, but for future guests might I suggest a welcome book with instructions for all the devices and heating system."
-
"We arrived and was surprised with some scones and jam and cream waiting for us ."
A lovely touch . The cottage had everything we could possibly needed. Its situated in a quiet village. Beds were comfy . Towels available. A nice cottage will return
-
"It was everything that we hoped for at this time of the year."
With having two small dogs with no fireworks going off like they have been doing at home since September we only heard one all week the owners were very friendly and approachable for anything
-
"Lovely cottage great area land lady very helpful."
-
"Lovely cottage in the peaceful setting we wanted, Warm welcome going the extra mile providing tea bags, sugar milk and biscuits."
Only downside we found was the bed, although a good size, where the beds were put together it did put an uncomfortable ridge in the middle. However, we would return as it was so lovely!
-
"We enjoyed our holiday and the cottage is in a lovely quiet location amongst woodland, it is spacious and reasonably well equipped although missing some basic items such as cleaning cloths and oven gloves."
As others have reported the cottage needs a refurb and a good cleaning also some maintenance is needed. Someone reported in another review from July that the vacuum cleaner needed repair, it still does in September also things like batteries and light bulbs need replacing. Could be perfect with a little more effort.
-
"Whilst owner was lovely as was surroundings, cottage was not as clean as it should have been."
Generally in need of considerable refurbishment with lots of things either broken, shabby or simply not there. This applies to all rooms including outside patio which needed new furniture, weeding and some light- pitch black at night. There was a torch which needed new batteries and that summed the place up- new batteries! The last review said the place needs a deep clean and some TLC which we agree with. I could not recommend this cottage which is a huge pity. We have booked to go away with Sykes at Christmas and may cancel this now. So disappointing.
-
"We found the cottage clean and well equipped."
It is rural but well located for day trips to the coast, Scottish Border towns and the Northumberland coast. I would definitely recommend it as a place to spend a relaxing week in.
-
"Cottage really tired needs intense clean and a paint, linen on beds had hairs and some marks!"
owners son greeted us on arrival to let us know that the freezer had a problem and the Hoover also was not working due to fan belt !! Apart from that this cottage is in a great location and could be so much better.
-
"Our second visit to this accommodation,super location in beautiful grounds,warm and cosy cottage,the only issue was the freezer is ready for renewal."
Overall a super holiday,which is dog friendly with plenty of space for them to run round.
-
"Wonderful time, beautiful setting and fantastic area."
Highly recommend.
-
"The cottage was very relaxing and the surrounding environment is very attractive."
The location is excellent for visiting the local towns and the coastline. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday - the dogs loved it too.
-
"Overall the holiday was what we were looking for, a nice peaceful relaxing holiday."
Internet was a bit of a let down only working one day out of six. The cottage was in a beautiful area and the garden and shrubbery was delightful.
-
"Lovely cottages in a rural location , not far to explore Kelso , Berwick , Coldstream , Paxton house ."
.. Art studios on surrounding property , art classes held in another part also , enjoyed seeing the friendly horses, ponies & sheep ... my dog enjoyed his walks .. the cottage had everything we needed & more ... had a great time with my husband , mum & friend & our jack Russell in March 2019 .
-

The Gardeners cottage is perfectly located as a base to everything from beaches to mountains and set in beautiful grounds we will definitely be returning
-
"We have been there before."
Came back for a second stay. Very relaxing. Chocolates were lovely. Compared to last time, the cottage was not quite as clean. But still loved it. We would highly recommend, to anyone, to stay at The Gardeners Cottage.
-
"Lovely cottage in a lovely setting ,clean and tidy , it had everything we needed and a good base to go exploring from ."
-
"A good basic base to explore other coastal towns."
Not that child friendly especially if into gadgets as WiFi quite poor and a very small tv in the sitting room but overall the cottage is set in lovely surroundings and pet friendly.
-
"This cottage was in beautiful surroundings."
The owner was very pleasant and welcomed us as soon as we arrived. It was located quite near the border so were able to visit places in England easily too. Would definitely recommend Gardiners cottage especially if you have dogs too as plenty of grounds for them to run about.
-

"The photos & description didn't do this cottage justice."
It is so cosy and well-equipped, with tasteful decor, and situated in lovely woodland grounds. It's brilliant having 2 bathrooms. Thoroughly enjoyable holiday, wouldn't hesitate to go again
-
"A very pleasant and comfortable cottage in a beautiful area."
It has an enclosed front area safe for children and pets. Very obliging caretakers who are close by should you need them. We had no problems with the phone signal but the wifi was rather slow but usable. There are plenty of supermarkets in the area if you need a large choice of items, we found Berwick-upon-Tweed was the nearest with a choice of different supermarkets, there are of course shops in Chirnside too. Nice and quiet but perfectly situated for touring around the area.
-
"Really enjoyed our stay."
So refreshing. Very good for dogs. Signs on the country roads were not the best, but the directions we had been given and Google Maps were invaluable. A wonderful time was had by all.
-
"Lovely greeting from the owner when we arrived"
-
"Home from home, lovely cottage in lovely surroundings, quiet and peaceful."
A good base to explore from.
-
"The cottage was very central for a great deal of attractions."
It had everything we needed for our holiday. The beds were very comfortable. It was very warm and cosy. Even though it was semi-detached we did not hear anything from the people next door. It was so peaceful when we came back from our trips out. Just what we needed. I would highly recommend this cottage.
-
"It was a very nice week, we loved the area and will certainly go back again."
Easy to get about to East Lothian or back to Northumberland coast. Cottage very comfortable particularly the upstairs. For dog walking couldn't be better. Good eating roundabout, our favourite was Allanton Inn.
-
"Quiet location, property suitable for dogs as well as people."
Owners friendly and very helpful.
