We had a fantastic stay in St Abbs, The property is very well presented, with everything that you could possibly need for an enjoyable break. The communication with our host was very straightforward, helping us to settle in as soon as we arrived. The village of St Abbs is perfectly situated for enjoying both the sea, sands and clifftop walks in this beautiful area. The St Abbs Visitor Centre is fantastic, and the volunteers running it are very friendly and knowledgeable, giving us lots of invaluable pointers to enhance our stay. We enjoyed meals at the Old School Cafe, where staff were very pleasant, and the food was excellent. All in all, we found this trip very relaxing, and cannot recommend this property highly enough!

A wonderful stay.

This was the perfect house for us-comfortable nice and clean and with all amenities that we could need. The local area is peaceful and beautiful with lots to do without going to far.( which for us was a big plus as we didn't have a car..) Would definitely like to come back again.

Comfortable bungalow

Comfortable bungalow, great size garden for dogs, lovely location.Sofa and chairs need upgrade as very saggy in places, but beds very comfy. Didn't use table & chairs as not enough room with 4 adults & 2 border collies, but mainly ate out, so not an issue.Overall enjoyable stay, Thanks

A quiet getaway.

A lovely bungalow in a quiet fishing village. Had all amenities needed. Walk in shower, well equipped kitchen, lovely comfortable beds, Sky TV, Wi-Fi and a large, secure garden which was ideal for the dog. Some lovely walks near by and the weather was good which made our stay more enjoyable. Two nice cafes and one Post Office in the village.

Hi Christine Thanks for your review. I believe when you arrived all on street parking was full which is very unusual however as I am sure you found out parking is available although not private as the street is very quiet Thanks Peter

Holiday cottage

A very clean and well presented holiday cottage with a lovely garden for sitting having breakfast or a coffee. The bathroom has a lovely walk in shower which does make life easier. A hook on the back of the bathroom door would make it just right. The cottage is well situated with easy access to the cliff path, the creel path or the harbour.

EXCELLENT PROPERTY IN A FABULOUS LOCATION

A delightful, spotlessly clean bungalow in a quiet, peaceful location, within a few minutes walk of the harbour and easy access to other coastal walks from the door. Crisp, white bedlinen, super comfy beds and soft, white, fluffy towels. Secure and well maintained garden with a beautiful sunny aspect for sitting out. Neighbours are quiet and very friendly and our experience was that St Abbs and surrounding areas are genuinely chatty and friendly. Parking is available outside the bungalow.We'd recommend the Cullen Skink at Ebbcarrs Cafe in the harbour....... also the New Inn at Coldingham does a champion Sunday roast at a very reasonable price. This was our first visit to St Abbs but we enjoyed it so much we've already booked to come back next year.
