Trefoil Cottage Reviews

This is a brilliant cottage. It's deceptive from the outside, it looks much smaller. You're greeted with a lovely hamper of bread, eggs, milk, organge, and more. The cottage is clean, tidy and well furnished, with plenty of amenities. The stove powered hot tub is a nice touch, it's lovely for star gazing. There's even some board games and books if you forget to bring any. The cottage is in a wonderful location. There are plenty of walks within 15 minutes. Biggar and West Linton are lovely too. Only 45 minutes from Edinburgh too. Definitely would recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay, the unique log burner hot tub was amazing, especially once fully heated it then doesnt take long to heat up again the next day as the cover keeps it warm. The cottage was lovely and facilities were amazing, we didnt want for anything. The only small issue we had was the fact the heating is controlled by the owner and they hadnt allowed it to be used. I know its summer still but it was a little chilly on a night and the small electric fires dont really do much with the open plan living room that has no door to the hallway. It was actually surprisingly colder that it is in England and were from the north so having the heating option would have been nice just for half an hour to take the nip out of the air.
The cottage itself was furnished to a high standard. The AGA oven was a new experience, but we got used to it. Unfortunately it rained heavily whilst we stayed, and we had a day inside playing board games, which was nice. The hamper was lovely and the milkjuice and ice cubes, were a welcomed touch. My only negatives were the darkness and cold! Liked how the history of the cottage was incorporated within the welcome file. Lots of information given. Thank you!
I would highly recommend this property, it was very clean comfy and cosy and we had a fab holiday. We arrived to a gorgeous welcome basket which made our day and the hot tub was 1010. My toddler especially loved the ponies and horses round the corner in the field who she named Pedro Peter and Pesto and I think we will miss going to see them every morning.
Exemplary facilities. Comfortable with everything you need.
A lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful setting. Very clean and nicely decorated. It had everything we needed in the cottage, we were happy with our stay
Very comfortable stay. Super welcome pack. Very helpful owners. Pebbles and the surrounding area is very scenic.
Lorena
Amazing cottage, great and accommodating hosts! We loved our stay. Great kitchen with modern utilities, cosy living room, lovely bedrooms and great hot tub. We couldnt have asked for more.
Lovely Cottage in beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable and cosy. Nice hamper to arrive to. Enjoyed cooking on the Aga and the wood fired hot tub after a days mountain biking. So many birds to listen to. Ideal location for Peebles and the surrounding area. Would definitely return when we can.
Matthew

Samuel

Really lovely property with everything you need for cooking inside. Lovely and warm and nice cosy sofas.

Had a great week's stay at trefoil cottage, has everything you need , peaceful location good for attractions in the area . Hot tub was lovely and the hamper was a lovely touch . Would definitely stay there again .
Grahame
Lovely property in a nice quiet location. Very nicely presented and all the appliances and utensils you need. The wood fired hot tub is a nice bonus.
The WiFi was a bit hit and miss which wouldn't normally have been a problem but our daughter had an online meeting that she was unable to join. Yes we did switch of and on multiple times. The cottage has a lovely cosy atmosphere with everything you would need and the welcome hamper just made us all smile. Hope to return sometime soon. Thank you.

Kailzie Gardens - EH45 9HT
about 10 Miles
Kailzie Gardens are another popular attraction and are an excellent place for a day out in the summertime. The gardens are a peaceful and colourful place to spend the day with a wide variety of flora and fauna on display. Other attractions here include live viewing of the Tweed Valley ospreys, a Gift Shop where children can pick up a souvenir, a Tearoom serving tasty local produce and home cooked meals, a Children's Corner, Putting Green, and a gorgeous private 2½ mile stretch on the River Tweed where visitors can enjoy Fly Fishing and a Picnic Area.
Smoo Cave - IV27 4QB
about 22 Miles
Smoo Cave is a popular attraction which can be enjoyed all year round but visitors should wrap up warm during the winter months.  This spectacular limestone sea-cave in Sutherland is the largest in Britain and is simply spectacular. The cave was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea. Guests can take the path from the car park which runs right through the cave. Boat trips are available in the summer months and are an excellent way to fully appreciate the cave from all angles.
M&D's Scotland's Theme Park - ML1 3RT
about 25 Miles
M&D's, Scotland's Family Theme Park is a "must do" day out if you are in the Strathclyde region. The fun attraction is set within 20 acres of beautiful Country Park and offers rides, shows and activities for the whole family to enjoy. Besides the outdoor rides the site is also home to Amazonia - Scotland's only indoor Tropical Rainforest where visitors can meet loads of exotic animals. There is also a large indoor soft play area and an amazing glow in the dark bowling alley, so plenty to do if the weather is bad. During December Scotland's largest Grotto with animated Christmas scenes can also be enjoyed.
