Having Noreen and Ali nearby was reassuring, though we didn't really need to bother them. The cottage's spot is perfect-peaceful, charmingand snug. We definitely plan to return; it felt like a little home away from home. Loved it!

We had an amazing stay! The hosts, Noreen and her husband, were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The directions to the cottage were spot on, which was a lifesaver arriving late in thick fog. The place itself is stunning-so peaceful and exactly what we needed. The welcome basket was a lovely touch after a long drive. Perfect location with easy train links to Edinburgh from Gorebridge. Honestly, weâ€™d definitely come back. Highly recommended for a chill break!

Ellie

We had a lovely time at this cosy little cottage. Itâ€™s super well-equipped with books and games, making it perfect for relaxing. The location is stunning, nestled amidst working farms and rolling hills - though you only get the view from the garden, not inside the cottage itself. Itâ€™s attached to the ownersâ€™ houseand you pass through their utility room to get to the garden and hot tub, which was fine with us. Overall, a charming spot for a peaceful break!
