Description

Bridle Cottage is a charming, upside-down, semi-detached cottage is situated on a non-working farm near Cove on the Berwickshire coastline.

In a quiet hamlet with panoramic sea views, this lovely coastal cottage sleeps four and is ideal for families and friends, or even couples, looking for a relaxing break.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, one double with an en-suite bathroom and a twin.

A spacious shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, before moving upstairs to the kitchen, sitting room and dining area, all with superb open views of the coast.

At the front of this delightful coastal cottage is a small enclosed garden, where you can sit and relax looking out over the sea, as you plan the day ahead.

This is perfect for watching the sunrise over the Firth of Forth to the east, and sunset to the west.

A great panoramic spot for watching regular wildlife visitors too - including deer, hares, various birds of prey and dolphins.  Walkers will delight in the range of superb walking opportunities nearby, from coastal walks to Pease Bay, to the Southern Upland Way and the John Muir Way.

The town of Dunbar is the birthplace of John Muir, with its harbours, golf course and beaches making it an ideal day out.

The St Abbs Head Nature Reserve is only 10 miles away along the coast, a great spot for divers and surfers alike, while Edinburgh is less than an hour away.

This wonderful coastal cottage has something to tempt the visitor, whatever the time of year.

A lovely,cosy cottage and very well equipped.

My only concern was that there was no welcome pack,giving information about recycling and waste disposal,etc, Otherwise it was a great location and was a super cottage in which to spend a week!

As described on website and reviewers, the cottage was excellent.

Very quiet setting, but no distance from A1. Lovely open views over field and the sea. Small enclosed garden, very handy for our small dog and straight out to coastal walks. Cove is a hidden gem with a lovely old harbour and small sandy beach approached by a tunnel. Cottage had everything we needed and was clean, cosy and comfortable. Unusually for self catering there was no DOs and DON'Ts folder, but wee messages eg beside heating to turn it up to suit ourselves - we didn't need to. Thank you for the goodies, as well

We were delighted with our stay at Bridle Cottage.

The property was tastefully decorated, comfortable and clean. We had everything that we needed in the kitchen , towels and bed linen were of a good quality. Whilst there wasn’t easy access to the beach, there were plenty of other beaches within a short drive. Our dog was happy with his short walks from the stone cottage at night and enjoyed his runs on nearby beaches. The location was rural whilst close to A1.
