As advertised with a wonderful welcome basket of farm fresh eggs, bread, milk, tea, coffee, and orange juice! Easy in and easy out with effective and rapid responses from Lowri. Attended the World sheep dog trials in Lauder and this place was perfect for its location for day trips! Also, the washer and dryer worked great! Nice morning walks around the property and the weather thankfully cooperated!

A lovely cottage in an amazing location, peaceful and quiet but with plenty of options for day trips not too far away. Some really nice touches such as the welcome basket, good info on the local area, car charger, and genuine consideration for four legged friends. Really nice facilities in the house, and a secure garden with a lovely wooded walk just beyond, leading to an amazing location to take in the sunset. Would've been happy to stay longer and I'm sure we'll be going back again.A couple of minor niggles during our stay - the oven controls are impossible to use as the temperatures have worn off, making cooking anything properly a bit of gamble. And the neighbour banging on the door at 7,30am one morning to ask us to move our car (which was parked exactly where it was supposed to be) wasn't ideal, but I'm sure that was a one-off.

Bartlehill Cottage

Fantastic comfortable property with everything you could wish for including a games room and tennis court and cricket practice net also on site. A superb welcome pack included everything you could wish for, the location was peaceful and far enough away to be rural but only 12 minutes from Kelso and Coldstream. Overall an excellent property and holiday

We had a superb stay at number 4 Bartlehill cottages. The welcome tray was tip-top - the best we've ever had. The cottage was comfortable (especially the beds) and warm, with excellent views out to the Cheviot. The games room was a bit too chilly to use much, the legs on the table football were unsteady; plus we missed a measuring jug for custard-making!

A lovely holiday in the Sottish Borders

This was our first time staying at Bartlehill & it certainly didn't disappoint. We had such a lovely holiday. The cottage is bright & airy, very comfortable with plush sofas & a beautiful fireplace. The whole cottage along with the views and garden are as good as they look on line. We visited both Holy Island & the coastline down to Almouth. Plus the villages within the Scottish Borders all within easy reach from the cottage. We were extremely lucky with the weather too (mini heatwave) Will definitely return to this little gem.

By far this is the best cottage we have ever stayed in. It's immaculately clean and cosy.

We were extremely pleased with the care and attention to detail that Lowri has clearly shown when furnishing this cottage. It's just beautiful. The welcome pack was excellent. All you would need for breakfast the following day. The area has so much to give, from countryside walks to beaches. The beach at Coldingham is fantastic for swimming or just lazing on the sand. We would definitely return to Bartlehill it was just superb. Thank you Lowri.

Stunning

All three generations and the dog loved the cottage. I think they all wanted to move in. Cost peaceful and tastefully done. The kitchen is a little small, but wasn't a problem. The games room was a big hit, as was the access to the tennis court and cricket net - excellent additions. It's a little tricky to find - confuses the satnav, but what three words is perfect

A beautiful and peaceful getaway

This is a wonderfully situated property, very peaceful and with a lovely view from the front. It was lovely to be able to step out of the cottage to either a well-kept, secure back garden, a woodland, or a quiet lane bordered by fields. The cottage is well equipped and very clean and we had plenty of space for 6 of us. Our teenage boys spent a lot of time in the garage/playroom, enjoying the table tennis and table football. Lowri is an excellent host-great communication and had clearly gone to extra lengths to ensure the cottage is Covid safe. We'd love to come back for a return visit!

Lovely, peaceful cottage

Overall a lovely location and very well equipped and furnished cottage. Would love to go back. Two or three minor points worth attending to. Written instructions on how to get there seemed ambiguous. (Ended up using Google Maps.) Loose slabs on back steps. Markings on cooker knobs worn off in places making it difficult to set temperatures. Far more positives - too many to list!!

Perfect!

Bartlehill Cottage is a truly wonderful place to stay. Far reaching views, peaceful, great parking, beautiful secure garden, fun games room and beautiful walks straight from the front door. The cottage is really comfortable and spacious and everything was so easy to use no fiddly showers or complicated cookers. The beds are super comfortable with crisp cotton bedding and wonderful views. Plenty of towels and generously stocked cupboards and a very generous welcome basket. Lowri is there if you need her and responds quickly and kindly to messages. We had a fantastic time exploring the borders during the day and spending time in the evening enjoying the garden, taking a stroll and enjoying games. It is the kind of place which feels like home and which you may never want to leave! Good for the soul. Thank you, we all loved staying at Bartlehill.

Wonderful Cottage in the Scottish Borders

The cottage is cozy and comfortable and is surrounded by spectacular views of the Scottish countryside. The owner was a wonderful host and was very responsive to our every need. With a rental car, the cottage offers easy access for day trips throughout most of southern Scotland. During our stay, we traveled by car to St. Andrews, Stirling, Dunbar, Holy Island, Leith, Bewick-Upon-Tweed, Roslin, Peebles, Coldstream, Kelso, Callander and Loch Lomond. We also took the train from Berwick-Upon-Tweed for day trips to both Edinburgh and Glasgow in order to avoid the inconvenience of driving and parking in those cities. The trains to both destinations ran regularly each day and the fares were very reasonable. We also enjoyed long, relaxing walks along the many country lanes surrounding the cottage. We throughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and would highly recommend this property to others seeking a more authentic Scottish experience.

Super location, super cottage

Wonderful stay at Bartlehill Cottage. Peaceful and quiet. Equidistant between the lovely towns of Coldstream and Kelso. Beaches reachable in about 45 mins. The cottage has been beautifully and tastefully renovated. Highly recommended for families with a fully dog proof garden and games room. Loved it.

Lovely peaceful cottage

We loved the quiet location, it was lovey sitting on the patio with a glass of wine, with a book, looking at the hills in the distance. Great welcome pack with the addition of eggs from the girls we saw on the way in. There was also a well stocked cupboard of essentials and dishwasher tablets and washing pods. There was also a great supply of toilet rolls, everything you need. We had a Tesco order delivered as well when we arrived. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable and the shower is great. Every thought has been made in this great property.
