  • Hi is the garden enclosed? Many thanks. Angela

    The garden is fully enclosed & is located next to the parking space. These are not attached to the house so about 25 metres from the cottage

  • Hi, we have a 6 month old puppy. Just wondering if the garden area is fully closed in so it would be safe to let the dog run around there?

    The garden is enclosed but it is not attached to the cottage. It is next to the parking space about 25 yards from the cottage. Our Turner Cottage Norham would probably suit you better Regards Christine Border holiday Homes

Company info

John and Christine have been involved in tourism for many years and have owned large and small hotels, and winning pubs and now a small group of high quality, award winning, holiday cottages for two. John is a musician, composer and conductor of amateur groups. Christine is an active member of professional organisations involved with self catering. We are owned by two cats!! and one dog. We love travel ourselves and try to take holidays in other cottages to enhance our guest experience

Property info

The cottage is set in the middle of three cottages. It is cosy and warm for out of season breaks. The open plan lounge kitchen area has all modern equipment including a hidden dishwasher.Upstairs is a large walk in shower with rainhead and flexible shower. This is ensuite next to the double bedroom with its own tv and tea making facilities. WiFi is free of course. It is in the centre of this conservation village along a small lane and unusually the garden and parking space are about 25 miles from the house. We have tried to make all our improvements environmentally friendly and so have energy efficient boiler and p.v. panels to generate electricity. Being only five miles from the coast it has all the advantages of country and seaside

Neighborhood info

The conservation village of Paxton is close to the Palladian House and picture gallery, Paxton House. There are wonderful riverside walks through the grounds only five minute walk away. The village inn is having a major refurb and will be a great asset again shortly though there are other great eating palaces in Allanton and in Berwick only four miles away.A ten minute drive will bring you to the tidal causeway that leads to Holy Island. Duns, with its connection to the racing driver Jim Clark is six miles inland and so you can visit the Trophy room and also Manderston House and gardens. Being only a short drive to the coast it is easy to walk along the sandy beachesm of Coldingham and Spittal, Berwick and buy fresh fish from Eyemouth. Frequent trains take you to Edinburgh in only 45 minutes. This very well equipped cosy cottage is ideal for a single guest or a couple. One pet is welcome
