“We were in town for the Race Across Scotland - crew stayed here throughout the week, and two of us who ran it were here after we finished. Was a close drive to Cocksburnpath, and to other surrounding areas. Great spot for 4 folks, and having laundry was a huge bonus. Lovely property.”

The Borders are lovely, we really enjoyed travelling...

“Just great.A few issues with Wi Fi but no great deal. ”

“Amazing location in the border areas of Scotland, lovely home, fully equipped with everything you would ever need, and more. Extremely roomy, good wifi, a welcome cake and Shortbread, the grounds are really nice, even has a table and chairs to sit under the trees in, only 10 minutes drive from Berwick, loved it.”

“We had a lovely holiday at Blackadder Mains. The accommodation was first class with excellent facilities and a superb garden. Our host Brian could not have been more helpful or friendlier. We will definitely be booking again.”

“Comfy, clean, everything worked great, had everything we needed and the hot tub was warm on arrival too!”
