Spectacular uninterrupted views-w/hot tub-5mins from Duns Town

April Cottage has been thoughtfully restored to retain original character but with the benefit of contemporary comforts. Both April and May cottages are suitable for a range of holidays due to the exceptionally spacious layout and generous proportions of the rooms. This would make them ideal for families and group bookings. Of course they are also suitable for a cosy holiday for those who would like a relaxing break in front of a wood-burning stove. Good local shopping, pubs and restaurants are in the market town of Duns, 2 miles, and regular farmers markets in picturesque Kelso, 19 miles and Berwick 14 miles. Duns golf course is a 5-minute walk and there is good fishing nearby on Whittadder water or on the famous River Tweed. Shooting and stalking can be arranged. Hill walking in Lammermuirs or Cheviots, cycling on quiet roads. Visit St Abbs Head to see nesting sea birds in the spring, Coldingham for a lovely sandy beach or take a boat trip to Holy Island and the Farne Islands from Seahouses. Edinburgh is a scenic drive or 40 minutes by train from Berwick. Shop and pubs 2 miles. Both April and May cottages sleep 6 and the beds (zip-n-link) can be made up to suit allowing flexibility for your booking.

Quiet and relaxing stay
So easy to book and the descriptions matched the cottage perfectly. Everything we needed was there - apart from the weather!! But that didn’t stop us from enjoying the surrounding countryside, views and hot tub. Thank you.

Mum’s special birthday
April cottage was everything we could want for our weekend break to celebrate our mum’s big birthday. The cottage has uninterrupted views of the Borders countryside so we could enjoy watching the wildlife from the well situated bench and even the hot tub! Inside was beautifully decorated as well as being comfortable with a very well resourced kitchen. The extra touches Cathy left helped the weekend feel very special. We hope to all visit again really soon!
