Wonderful peaceful location for a family gathering. Plenty of local ambling to walk the dogs, always remaining alert for livestock. Excellent caring host. Didn’t see the note about pre-ordering logs but Eyemouth came up trumps with supplies.

A lovely, old and warm property. It didn't affect us, but we thought the accommodation would be more flexible with a couple of twin bedded rooms rather than all doubles the bunk bed room.

Perfect spot for a weekend with family

We absolutely loved our stay at the house. Everything was perfect for a weekend with our family coming together. The house itself is beautiful and historically interesting, we loved researching it's past! Beds were very comfy and all the rooms were so spacious. It was brilliant to have the high chairs, cot and baby bath as we were travelling with our 18 month old. Made it so much easier for us. We particularly loved the grand dining room for eating as a family. The location was lovely, we enjoyed the walk around the grounds and also the short walk to Eyemouth. There were lots of lambs in the surrounding land which made the kids very happy! Fab trip, thank you!

Historical grandeur in the Scottish borders

As you go up the drive towards this gorgeous, fortified house set on top of a hill, you go over two cattle grids. This entrance suitably prepares you for the beauty of the house in which you stay. Surrounded by beautiful gardens filled with exciting plants, this house has ample room for 10 people. The bedrooms are huge, with comfortable beds and linens, and lots of light from all the big windows. The bathrooms are also gorgeous and well renovated, and the heated towel rails are a big bonus. You can feel the history of this place, especially when you meet the owner and he tells you all the exciting tales of the previous inhabitants. There is also so much to do in this area. St Abbs, a picturesque fishing village, with stunning coastal walks, and Coldingham Bay, one of the cleanest and most beautiful bays in the country, are a short 15 min drive away. Across the border, the beautiful Berwick-upon-Tweed is well worth a visit. Even Bamburgh on the Northumberland coast is not so far away. But one of our favourite places was North Berwick with its miles of beautiful beaches, rock pools, and the best fish and chips in Scotland!

Absolutely beautiful house and location

This is a truly beautiful property in acres of land. Everything was clean upon check-in and the rooms were huge. There was everything we needed. Lovely walks in the area and close to the beach too. Being woken up by the cows was a different experience! We loved being surrounded by the animals in the fields. We would highly recommend this property. The intriguing history of the house was a bonus! Thank you Cat.

Wonderfully renovated historic property

Old Linthill was the perfect setting for our group of 9 adults and children as we explored the Borders region. It is both ‘grand’ and ‘welcoming’ with all modern conveniences and plenty of space for all.

Great place for a family holiday

We loved this house , spacious, warm , comfortable , lots of interesting local art, but not so fussy or posh that young children and dogs were a worry. When we had to contact Cat she was helpful and replied quickly. It was an easy walk to Eyemouth .

An excellent family week’s holiday over Easter, surrounded by daffodils and sunshine.

Good value for money, this property suited our family needs very well. Only two minor problems: the key code was never sent to us, so we had to phone the owner to gain access initially. And one of the showers had a broken thermostat so that it gushed only scaldingly hot water. Everything else worked perfectly, and we were impressed by the cleanliness of everything on arrival. Beautifully decorated and well equipped this house is situated in lovely countryside and within walking distance of Eyemouth.

Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It is a very special property that is perfect for families and friends to relax. The key code was definitely sent in advance of your stay but apologies if it hit your spam folder and you didn’t find it. We found your note about the shower that you left on departure. We would have been very happy to send somebody to fix it if you had mentioned it during your stay. It was fixed as soon as we were informed. We hope to welcome you back.

A lovely and historic Borders house

We loved staying in this unusual and interesting house. It was quite magical driving up the hill in the dusk to find the austere house looking so welcoming with lamps in every window and the heating on. The bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen very well equipped and the sitting room with its log fire a lovely place to relax. We would have loved to stay longer.

Excellent property, can't wait to visit again!

We loved the house, it's really spacious and well kitted out with everything you might need. There was a baby bath, changing mat, highchair, travel cot and toys, which is way more than you'd get at most rentals so I was really impressed. The living room was really comfortable and the whole house was kept nice and warm. We'd love to visit again in future.

Large comfortable house full of character & fantastic for a family holiday

Old Linthill is a fabulous large country home tucked away up a long private driveway. It was perfect for a family holiday (age range 13 to 75) with our family dog. There is lots to do in the area, and being able to explore South East Scotland and Berwickshire made for some great days out. Favourite trips were to Edinburgh, Holy Island and a coastal walk around St Abbs. We loved the house - very comfortable and spacious, and would definitely return as we ran out of time to visit all the places we wanted to!

Fabulous Retreat

An amazing property which was ideal for our group of three adult couples and our dogs. Close enough to Eyemouth and the coastal paths yet it was remote enough not to worry about letting the dogs out unsupervised. I’d love to go back and spend a New Years eve here!
