Wonderful getaway in Galashiels

The cottage is lovely and roomy with everything you might need and in the most enchanted setting on the river tweed. The owner is extremely helpful and ready to assist with any queries. Highly recommended.

Idyllisch

Mooi groot huis op een prachtige plek. Ruime kamers. Keuken goed, hoewel een grote bakpan welkom zou zijn geweest. Prima bedden, ruime slaapkamers. Ideale uitvalsbasis voor mooie tochtjes.

Very impressive cottage in a fabulous estate in beautiful countryside

Very comfortable cottage with everything you would require. Beds very comfortable and the bathrooms were excellent, although the ensuite bathroom's vent didn't come on nor the shaver socket.. There is a wasps nest outside the other double bedroom, which needs removing so that the window can be opened.

Lovely cottage, great location and we had a great weekend

Kitchen was great and had everything you need, lounge was comfortable and the bedrooms and bathrooms were nice,clean and spacious. No problems whatsoever although maybe a few takeaway menus wouldn't go amiss as one night we didn't want to cook. Hopefully be back one day
