Everything you could need is available in the house, and the beds are super comfortable 10/10 We looked the whole view from the balcony watching all the boats & cruise ships going by. I couldn't recommend St Abbs enough it jas everything to offer and more, we will definitely be booking for longer next time. ##### Rosalyn F. ### 8/10 Good #### Debbie S. 10 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Home was ok...found a discarded utility knife blade on the bedroom floor, kitchen sink was dirty, and the house smells of smoke & musty. Area is very quiet in September, but I'm sure is beautiful in summer. Beds are comfortable and washrooms are in good working order. Water views are awesome. ##### Debbie S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Renée v. 6 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It is a comfortable spacious house. We stayed with 5 adults. Very nice there are two bathrooms. The garden is also very beautifull.We cooked our own meals; there could have been more pans to accomodate that. The view is very nice; we had some cloudy weather though not a lot of rain. So we could enjoy the view and also visit botanical gardens and Chinese ponds for a walk. ![view from street](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63c9fe8d-4e8d-4375-9ea8-2160b3be8640-1754482009533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![view from gardenhouse](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c5678971-0118-4efa-8b26-aa3749db46b9-1754482204469.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![sevond terace and bedroom window](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/67976770-936e-4200-a4c8-a1db3436f6a4-1754482232077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![view of the ocean](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b165d25-4604-4df4-83d6-87f9fb2849d7-1754482338654.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Renée v.

The house had all the mod. cons you could want. Our only gripe was the towels. One very thin towel each for a week was not enough, they weren't thick enough to dry you after a shower. Otherwise very enjoyable stay. ##### Susan B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
