"The property was clean, warm, comfortable and well equipped."
There are few immediate facilities in the village but we were aware of this on booking and everything you could need is only a short drive away. Excellent location for those wishing to explore the surrounding areas. The secure, enclosed, rear garden area great for those with four legged companions. Would go again.

-
"A lovely comfortable and homely property in a very quiet location."
The property is very well equipped and has an enclosed back garden with a lovely view of countryside We really enjoyed our stay, thank you. Only a village shop so you do have to drive for more facilities but not too far away. Berwick is the closest town. There are lovely beaches at Berwick(Spittal beach) and Eyemouth. It was lovely as nowhere was crowded and everyone very friendly :-)

"Bungalow was lovely, home from home."
Double bedroom could have done with a chest of drawers or wardrobe as nowhere to put clothes, however king size room has masses of storage. Garden is beautiful but gazebo needs a little attention, inner roof material hanging down. Small community shop at end of village which was very handy although limited in what it stocks and opening hours.

"Spring Cottage was the perfect holiday home."
It really felt like a home from home, was very comfortable and so well equipped. Also a friendly wee village and a great location to visit wonderful places nearby. The garden was ideal for my dog also, and the accommodation was accessible for my elderly mother. We will be back.

"Great cottage in a lovely location Owners have thought of everything for their guests comfort and convenience"

"Was disappointed there were no treats for the dog,felt like it wasn`t dog friendly as too many rules for the dog."
The kelvinator leaked water,twice? and there was a bad small in the bathroom,one toilet roll to used for one week for two adults ?? .This property needs alot of T.L.C inside and out.
What Kelvintor ? I don’t have one ? Have you got the correct property? No treats for the dogs as so many dogs have different dietary requirements, very dog friendly though Sorry if the cleaning lady didn’t leave enough toilet roll usually one or two for self catering. My number is there to be contacted if there were any maintenance issues, the property was painted inside in January so not sure what TLC inside but I will take your criticism on board and if you would like to come back at a reduced rate I’m happy to accommodate Vicky Property Owner

"Exceptional property with everything you require."
Comfy bed and very easy to get around the area from it. We would certainly go back.
-
"Very comfortable cottage, feeling like a home with the personalised kids stuff."
Had all we needed. Only slight annoyance was the toilet seat moving ever time you sat on it, but I made a comment in the suggestion book. Good base for a few days away with decent,secure garden for the dog and lots of fields out the back. Just a shame it was too windy to sit out.

"What a wonderful stay we had at spring cottage!"
We ended up staying for an extra five nights because we felt so at home and comfortable! The dog loved the garden. The kids loved their rooms as did I. We all loved the big telly in the living room, but most of all we loved the quality of the mattresses. It's not often a mattress is up to my needs, I usually leave a holiday let early and in pain because I need a good quality mattress to sleep on, but not at spring cottage! Every room had a great mattress so we all slept like babies and had such a wonderful and restful holiday. The dining table in the kitchen allowed us to have sit down meals and we all really enjoyed that. A big thanks to our host Vicky who was so very kind and accommodating. We had a great holiday and we look forward to returning some day. I would recommend this property.

"Lovely stay at Spring cottage, really enjoyable"

"We had a lovely time at Spring Cottage."
It was cosy, tastefully furnished and decorated beautifully for Christmas, which was a delight to see when we opened the cottage door on arrival. Beds were very comfortable, with lovely festive bedding. The welcome basket was a delightful surprise too! Everything we could wish for for a comfortable stay was provided. The few 'niggles' we had were: Bulbs not working in some of the main lights, and lamps; Heater didn't work in the double bedroom; Outside drain kept blocking. However these issues in no way affected the enjoyment of our stay at the cottage, and we would be happy to return. We used to live in the Scottish Borders, about 20 miles from Whitsome, and it was so nice to be back in the area. Going forward into Spring, I think the garden would benefit from some attention, and a tidy up. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much.
That’s a shame, bulbs heater and drains could have been fixed within the hour if you had let me know I only live 10 mins away and often pop up if something breaks immediately Garden definitely looks better from March onwards! Hope you return to enjoy the cottage again Vicky xx Property Owner

-
"A perfect getaway."
Very comfortable.Garden very good and dog friendly.Sadly had to leave early because of storm Babet.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the following reasons: 1."
The cottage was so well equipped with everything you needed for a comfortable stay 2. We felt welcomed by the quality and variety of the welcome pack 3. The location combined the tranquillity of village life and walks with the close proximity of Berwick and Eyemouth just a short car ride away 4. The reassurance that Vicky, the owner lived local and if you needed anything she was at the other end of the phone. This was our first stay and I hope that the above review illustrates why we will be back. Thank you

"We had an absolutely lovely week at Spring Cottage."
We were lucky with the weather so got to sit out in the beautiful garden (watch out for the wasps tho!). And the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept it! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the welcome pack of goodies was a lovely touch - thank you! The house was clean and comfy and felt like a real home from home. It’s only a 15 minute drive to the supermarket to do a big shop. Gorgeous beach at Eyemouth close by, and all the gorgeous Northumberland coast not too much further away - we went to Bamburgh castle which is well worth a visit, and went on a boat trip from Seahouses and saw lots of grey seals! We had a day trip to Edinburgh too - gorgeous city - it was the fringe and tattoo that day so really busy and lots of street entertainment. I’d save your money and do Bamburgh rather than Edinburgh castle though. Would definitely recommend Spring cottage.
-
"Such a beautiful comfortable cottage."
Couldn't fault it was what we expected and more .We came home and re booked for next year
-
"Had a really relaxing holiday"
-
"The cottage was absolutely gorgeous and was in a stunning location."
Everything was immaculate and so comfortable. The owner was on hand for any information during the week but left us with privacy in the cottage. I would recommend the cottage to all. If i was pushed to find a negativeould of been lovely if the garden furniture had been cleaned.
-
"Lovely cottage, great view from spacious garden."
Well appointed and equipped cottage, very comfy beds, homely and welcoming. Welcome pack a nice surprise. A fabulous base to explore Northumberland and Scottish Borders.
-
"Had a lovely stay."
The Garden was wonderful and Spring Cottage is a great place to stay to explore the Borders and Northumberland.
-
"A great cottage."
A real credit to the owners. We all slept so well, as the bedrooms were quiet & comfortable. There was nothing we needed, as it had everything and more! The garden was also spacious, and really safe for our little dogs.
-
"Excellent property with everything you could possibly need."
Great peaceful location but close enough to larger towns to have whatever type of holiday you want.
-
"Fantastic cottage, everything you could possibly need."
Very spacious and comfortable. The welcome pack was a very welcome surprise. I would definitely love to visit again!
-
"Would like to stop longer"
-
"The cottage was one of the best we've had."
Very warm and comfortable. Amazing equipment in the kitchen. We were particularly impressed with the extra large bath towels (very few cottages provide these), the large airer and the spacious kitchen. The on street parking was fine, no problems getting a space outside the cottage. As a base it was excellent to visit many places on the coast and we also enjoyed the local villages. We enjoyed the quietness of the roads around the the rolling countryside. Thank you.
-
"Really nice comfortable and welcoming property."
Everything there that is needed. Other than the shower having less water pressure than we are used to we could not fault this cottage. We were at the property in February so did not get a chance to use the garden but it looks like it would be great to enjoy some warm weather in.
-
"A beautiful cottage tastefully furnished and fitted to a high standard."
It was perfect for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"We have had a fabulous holiday until being falsely accused of dog urine marks on the through carpet which we noticed upon arrival and assumed that these marks had already been dealt with by the cleaners after the last occupants We have stayed six times in cottages within a year and once in spring cottage with both our border collies with no issues whatsoever We are both extremely upset by this false accusation and are more than happy to provide urine samples from both our dogs."
Yours sincerely Mr and Mrs J F Hasnip
-
"The property was in Whitsome rather than Duns where we thought we were going."
The cottage itself was lovely and had everything we needed but was more remote than we expected. Location is not an issue if you know you are not near any amenities and take that into account when booking
-
"Very cosy cottage everything you want for a perfect stay."
-
"A very clean cottage, bathroom just needs a reverb."
Plenty of toys to keep children occupied when staying(even though I didn’t take any). An extremely well catered kitchen with everything that you possibly need for cooking. Books and games to keep everyone happy.
-
"Some lighting in the garden would be useful and instructions for heater under gazebo canopy would be good, other than a lovely property with friendly neighbours."
-
"Beautiful cottage, Photos do not do it justice."
Great base to explore the area. Well equipped, everything we needed provided.
-
"Very Comfortable cottage with every amenity."
Highly recommend.
-
"Loved our stay at spring cottage, we had loads of room and wanted for nothing, it had to be one of the best equipped properties we’ve stayed in, everything was thought of."
The welcome pack was a smashing touch as well . The bed was so comfy and huge
-
"We had a lovely week at Spring Cottage very clean and everything you need was ..."
We had a lovely week at Spring Cottage very clean and everything you need was there a great welcome pack was left for our arrival

"A really good week, Vicki is a wonderful landlady who responded to a very minor problem within an hour and fixed the minor inconvenience."
We will definitely stay in Spring Cottage if we go back. Thank you for the welcome pack it was very much appreciated. Both Mo and I would recommend this cottage.
-
"Delighted with Spring Cottage - brilliantly well equipped, lovely quality linen and towels."
Would definitely recommend.
-
"We have stayed in many cottages over the years and im delighted to say spring cottage has to rate as one of the very best."
Well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The garden is well maintained and extremely private. We had a lovely break and would highly recommend this cottage for visiting the borders and the Northumberland coast. Thankyou for the lovely welcome pack ,and the use of your cottage.
-
"I honestly cannot think of anything that was not provided."
The house was beautifully fitted out and superbly clean.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback xx Property Owner
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Spring Cottage the week leading up to Christmas."
The cottage is immaculate and has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The welcome pack was a very nice surprise too. We have 3 children and they loved it, we also had the joys of a teething toddler so due to this all three beds were used at separate times by everyone & we are pleased to report they are all lovely and comfy. We are familiar with the area as we have family in Duns and Burnmouth, the cottage is the perfect base to explore both Northumberland and the Boarders. We can’t wait to return. Vicky is a great host, thank you for our wonderful stay.
-
"What a lovely cottage."
Very well appointed and extremely clean. A lot of effort has been made to make this a home from home.
-
"An extremely well equipped, comfortable and clean cottage with pretty much all essential items provided."
The cottage owner is a lovely lady and very attentive. The only thing I would have liked was a more plentiful supply of really hot water for baths.
-
"Large garden, Fully well equipped cottage, Cosy, Extremely comfortable beds, Lovely welcoming pack."
-
"My husband and I and our dog Jett had a great week at Spring Cottage."
Situated in a small village with fields to the back we just loved it especially the walks around the fields first thing in the morning, beautiful sunrises and wildlife. The cottage is a great base for travelling to beaches and other villages around the borders. The cottage had everything we needed like a home from home, we will definitely be back.
-
"Superb 'Tardis' of a cottage."
Much bigger than even the description and pictures give it credit for. Immediately felt like a home rather than a rental. Very well cleaned and great facilities. The only item I would have liked (given the regular weather in that part of the world) was a tumble dryer for clothes, but that's a nice to have, not an essential. Having said that, I would happily sacrifice a dishwasher for a tumble dryer! Location is perfect for those wanting to be a in quite rural spot, yet only 10 miles from Berwick, which has all facilities. Great location also for coastal spots such as Seahouse, Bamburgh, Eyemouth and St Abbs. Even in reasonable distance of Edinburgh for a day trip. We would be delighted to return at some point in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

"What a fabulous cottage to stay in."
We were contacted early on the Saturday and invited to go to the cottage early, which we did. On entering the Cottage we were more than pleasantly surprised, The children were so impressed with all the games that were there and the adults were more than pleased with the cleanliness and the equipment that was on site, Even down to small torches in every bedroom, The layout of the cottage was perfect and every use has been made with all the rooms. The children had their own bedrooms and were over the moon with them. The welcome pack was the icing on the cake and contained very thing needed for the first day, including a very pleasant bottle of Pinot white wine, As the week progressed we became more and more impressed and by the end of the week no one in the family wanted to leave. This cottage is a credit to the owner and I would recommend anyone to go there if they can, we will try and book again, A huge thank you to the owner for providing such beautiful accommodation.

"Super clean cottage, smelled beautiful as we opened the door, which for a dog friendly cottage was unexpected."
The enclosed garden was perfect, dog walks from the back gate. Super comfortable beds and literally everything you could ever need was provided, including a lovely welcome basket. Really cannot fault it at all, well done!
-
"Lovely cottage- beautiful decor throughout (though bathroom could do with a little updating."
) Very well equipped home from home- super views out back from gazebo. Great base to explore the area. The Allen family :)
-
"The holiday house and garden totally exceeded our expectations."
The photos didn't do it justice and it was like home from home with facilities.
-
"Lovely Property would really recommend for people wanting to explore the Scottish Boarders"
-
"The start to our holiday was made much better by the kind complimentary treats left out for us on arrival."
The cottage was very spacious, clean and homely. The location was nice and quiet but close enough for journeys to be made to places of interest. Overall, a nice, relaxing week with the family.
-
"Immaculate well equipped cottage great base to explore the Scottish Borders would highly recommend."
-
"Spring cottage went above and beyond what we expected."
Although a little quiet the area is amazing. Views from the garden are fantastic. The cottage was absolutely spotless and the kids loved the massive TV we would definitely recommend and hope to return.
