It was lovely after a long drive to receive a warm welcome from Sylvia find the woodburner lit and the offer of a cup of tea. We had two great nights sleep in the lovely bedroom. We woke to a delicious breakfast, cooked to order with lovely continental extras and overlooking the rose garden. It was the perfect start to each day and setting me up for swimming the River Tweed! Its a beautiful part of the world and it was just like staying with a friend. I hope we will return. Thank you Sylvia for being the perfect host! Nick & Luci

Staying at Sylvia's apartment was perfect for us. Great space to relax in. Sylvia's breakfast was extremely tasty and she was very accommodating for my girlfriend who is vegetarian. Would highly recommend!

Can't fault this lovely B&B! Sylvia was very welcoming when we arrived and the house was beautiful and homely. Our room was huge and absolutely immaculate. We enjoyed an extensive breakfast both mornings with bacon, eggs, fruit and toast. This is a great location for exploring the area. We would love to return at some point as we didn't want to come home!

Sylvia was a very good host and a very interesting person to talk to. Accommodation was superb and she could not have done more to make us feel comfortable. She provided a fantastic breakfast and include fresh tomatoes and strawberries. Position of the house was excellent as it was near the high street and convenient for local amenities. I would give this 10 out of 10.

Sylvia was a very welcoming, attentive and friendly host. The accommodation was (URL HIDDEN) was almost like having a separate apartment, a first floor bedroom, which was a large lovely room, with en suite bathroom and a separate toilet room, just outside the bedroom door. There was a kitchen/lounge area downstairs and a garden with decking and seating outside. Breakfast was superb, eggs bacon and tomatoes and fresh home made bread every morning. This is a brilliant listing with a lovely host. Highly recommended.

Stayed two nights in this lovely spacious guest accommodation. Made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was very nice with lovely fresh fruit and home made bread and jam. Highly recommend Sylvia's accommodation if you are anywhere near Coldstream - do not miss this wonderful place.

Sylvia was a great host and did everything to make our stay pleasant. The room was spacious, light and clean with shared kitchen facilities in a stylish dining room. Breakfast included a tomato salad homemade bead and jam and Syvia made fruit cake for afternoon tea if required. We enjoyed our stay at The Stables and would definitely return. The only think missing for us was a TV to watch before bedtime otherwise perfect

Perfect. A warm welcome in a very special house with a lot of style and a very interesting renovation story. I hope we get a chance to return!

Barbara was really kind when when arrived, looking for us to show the way in to the house. She offers us a hot drink to warm up a bit as it was really cold when we get there. The house was rwally well located and with all the amenities you can expect. Lovely house. Barbara also give us her advise for the following day to travel around the area and thanks to that we visited many places not well known but with amazing views. She also left the breakfast ready for the morning as we were leaving quite early. All you can think of for a breakfast was set on the table. Highly recommended if you are looking for an accommodation whitin this area, Ana and Cristina

Excellent stay with a warm and lovely host! Great history in a comfy place and charming surroundings.

The coach house was a delightful place to stay in and Barbara proved to be a lovely and helpful host. Barbara went out of her way to make us welcome and our 2 day stay comfortable. We shared some good conversation and admired the architecture of the coach house restoration and the beautiful artwork within. We would whole heartedly recommend staying here.

A warm welcoming place, with a great location by the river. Recommended !

Great location with plenty of space. Recommended if you are visiting the Coldstream area.

I stayed with Barbara for 5 nights and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Barbara has been an amazing host, very welcoming and kind and went out of her way to make me feel at home. Coco (her dog) is lovely and super friendly! The house is beautiful and I was very comfortable in my room upstairs. The house is in an excellent location within Coldstream and overlooks the river. Breakfast had been put out each morning which was brilliant. I could not have asked for a kinder host and the house was perfect!

Barbara is a great host and has a lovely interesting home. She has good knowledge of the area and is helpful.

We had a great stay in the cottage. It had everything we needed and more, was very clean and comfortable, and everything worked well. The cottage is furnished nicely and made it feel like home for our 7 nights. Mhairi was very helpful and available for any issues we had (there were none though) and there was a good selection of info in the cottage if you wanted to explore the area. Thanks Mhairi for a pleasant break in you cottage. Mat and family.

We had a lovely stay in Mhairi's cottage. We were welcomed by Mhairi with the keys and all our questions answered. Coldstream is small and pretty, and is a perfect base to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. The cottage has everything you might need. Thank you!

Thanks Mhairi for your warm welcome. We were on the road back to France and just stayed 1 night but the accomodation is of an amazing standard. The property is on a main road but the sound insulation is great.

John was a very hospitable host, generous with his maps and cups of tea, as well as being a fount of information about places to visit. He checked the tides at Holy Island and gave me details of a boat company so I could book for the Farne Islands in advance .... all in all very helpful. He also recommended places to eat - it is deep in the country on the edge of the National Park so a few miles to eateries. Room was fine and comfortable and excellent value for money.

John was very helpful with direction to get to his place and he is also very helpful organizing a day out exploring the gems of his area (let him give you advice because he knows how to do it!). I did appreciate that a lot. The accomodation doesn't have frilly frocks , but it is functional and I had everything I needed in my short stay.

John was a wonderful host. The room and his house were just as described (probably a bit better than described). Everything was clean and tidy. He prepared a good breakfast.....and 2 bonuses: he arranged to have me picked up from my walk and he prepared a nice dinner for me. He also sent me loads of useful information prior to my arrival. I would certainly stay with him again if in the area.

John was a good host and an interesting guy, has traveled a lot. The location is a bit remote and is not as marked on the map, it is about 5 miles further south. The room is fairly small. Breakfast was good with porridge and toast.

What an amazing place. We have just finished a 4 night stay and wish we didn't have to leave. The cottage is in a beautiful location surrounded by open fields. Our children absolutely loved the gardens and the spectacular private woodland. The house itself is very well equipped with everything you could ever want. Comfy beds, loads of space, two bathrooms and lovely, friendly hosts. What more could you want? The surrounding area had lots of great beaches. Our kids particularly enjoyed playing on the dunes at Bamburgh beach. Can't recommend highly enough, I would definitely go again. Thanks.

An excellent stay - we were made to feel very welcome in a relaxing and secluded corner of Northumberland. With the aid of a car it's easy to get to Coldstream, Berwick, and the Northumberland coast. Recommended!

Dorothy and her partner gave us a warm welcome as we arrived! The cottage was so spacious, clean and really comfortable beds. They had a enclosed garden which the young children played happily and safely. There was a lovely surprise with a bottle of fizz , juice , big bowl of fruits, milk, eggs, and biscuits (URL HIDDEN) generous! We went for nice walks to river tweed. We would love to come back again, as it was such a lovey stay.Thank you!

With 4 children, 4 adults and 2 dogs this was the perfect home from home for us! The house has so much room and everything you could need is in it, including a very nice welcome pack. Dorothy and Tony are great hosts and we had a very relaxed stay. Woodland adventures on our doorstep, great places to visit close by. Altogether a very relaxing trip enjoyed by every one of us.

Dorothy and her husband were lovely and welcoming hosts. The property perfectly suited our needs for a multi generational family break. Lots of thoughtful touches and the children were thrilled with all the toys, books and games on offer and the garden to romp in. Well located for visiting coast, country and attractions.

We have just had an amazing stay at Oxendeanburn Cottage. The cottage is perfectly set up for kids, with everything you could need from toys to cutlery. The property was exactly as advertised, clean and welcoming. The private, secure garden is lovely and the surrounding area is great for walks and exploring. Dorothy was an excellent host, very friendly and on hand if needed. We hope to stay here again, fantastic.

Our stay at Oxendeanburn Cottage, with Dorothy and Tony as hosts, was brilliant. It was everything we hoped it would be - plus much more! The cottage was spaceous and well-stocked with provisions, the local area is absolutely stunning, and our hosts were so friendly and helpful. Thank you so much!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. We had a warm and friendly welcome and were provided with everything we needed. Dorothy was a perfect host and has set the cottage up brilliantly for families- all 9 of us had a wonderful time.

I had only booked with Melanie at the very last moment and she was extremely quick to confirm my booking and went out of her way to make our stay so enjoyable, even making a reservation for dinner for us at the lovely pub a few doors down. The accommodation was perfect, very tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable and with our own cosy lounge and the Scottish tablet, biscuits and tea were really appreciated after a long journey and what a wonderful cooked breakfast in the morning. The surrounding area is beautiful and we enjoyed a lovely walk along the river Tweed starting just across the road. It was a wonderful overnight stay in the Scottish borders en route further North. Many thanks Melanie, my daughter and I thought it was fabulous.

We stayed at Melanie's b&b for 4 nights in August. It was an incredibly last minute booking due to being let down elsewhere, and Melanie was a very accommodating host. Communication was excellent, and when we arrived we were greeted warmly, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was hearty, with plenty to satisfy all appetites and tastes. Melanie was really friendly and helpful, providing us with lots of ideas for exploring the local sights (of which there are many!). The room was always immaculate and cleaning was carried out daily, with the hospitality tray well stocked and replenished daily. The ensuite bathroom is shower over bath, which was lovely as most b&b's just have a shower cubical. The private lounge was an added bonus, and wonderful to relax in at the end of the day. Lots of little touches made this a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend. As a TIP - book direct through the website, the room is a little cheaper and you avoid the booking fee! (URL HIDDEN)

Gordon kindly accommodated me at short notice, provided excellent communications and the location was easy to find, with parking. The room was large, clean, bright comfortable and private. Sited very close to the Tweed the rural situation is lovely and there are super views from Gordon's lounge which he was kind enough to share. Gordon was a perfect host who provided a healthy breakfast with the minimum of fuss. I'd certainly hope to return and confidently recommend this Airbnb to everyone. It maybe useful to point out to anyone who has issues with stairs that the bedroom is on the ground floor. Good shower too! Thanks Gordon.

I did not get to stay in Gordon's house, so I cannot rate this experience positively.

Gordon was a great host. Room and bathroom were very clean and neat. Views are amazing and the village is pretty quiet - very peaceful place to spend a couple days. Gordon prepared a vast breakfast (that fits every nutritional preference). He even packed me a lunch to-go, which included a delicious raisin bread - my favorite!

Gordon was flexible about our arrival and gave us good clear information especially recommending an excellent place to eat. we felt most welcome.

Gordon is very nice as his house and it was a pleasure to stay one night. The room and bathroom are both clean and the village is only twenty minutes to Berwick. I recommend it Gordon est très sympa et très accueillant, la maison est grande belle et très propre. Je le recommande chaleureusement.

The room was confortable and clean. Gordon was nice with us. Near his house we ate in a pub, and it's was delicious. Good breakfast. We recommend Gordon's house.

We enjoyed Gordon's friendly hospitality and, after substantial fish and chips at The Fisherman's Arms, a beautiful one hour round walk straight from his house along the river Tweed.

Great stay with Gordon in Birgham, ideally situated for Alnwick Castle, which was where I was going, was going to go Gliding at the local centre also but the weather was cruel to me!! Gordon's room was clean and comfy, heater kept me warm, bathroom downstairs was for 2 rooms sole use, but got to use the shower on the second floor. Quiet village area, local pub was great for food and drink, within easy walking distance too! TV, hairdryer, cuppa if i wanted it, just what i was after really. Hop to be back soon :)

lovely place, great host, amazing delicious breakfast would definetely stay here again.

Amazing stay. Such a nice room and perfect breakfast. Hosts are very nice!!

Lovely bedroom with a nice view. Fantastic breakfast. Lynne was a great host.

loved staying with Lynne, loved pur little afternoon tea treats, great B &B

Lovely countryside B&B, Lynne is a very friendly host. Accommodation was great, lovely room with a beautiful view. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room were great with a yummy homemade surprise every day. Breakfast was very tasty too. If we are in the area again, I would go back to Lynne again.

We stayed one night at the Old Schoolhouse on our way north for a wedding. Lynne was a very gracious host who welcomed us with a roaring fire in the living room and nothing was too much trouble for her. She kindly sorted a reservation for dinner at the local pub (which was excellent) within 5 minutes of us arriving. The accommodation is in a lovely, quiet setting with great country views out of the bedroom window. The property has loads of history and Lynne was happy to fill us in with the details. The room, bathroom and dressing area were just perfect for us. The bed was warm and comfy and we had everything we needed.We had plenty of space to get ready for a wedding. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, made with high quality produce. We have no hesitation in giving Lynne 5 stars.

What a find! More like staying with friends than a guest house. Elaine went way past her call of duty to be helpful. I can recommend staying here with no hesitation at all.

Elaine and Jim were extremely welcoming hosts, and very friendly people. My room was bigger than I expected and really comfortable. You can tell that Elaine and Jim go above what is expected to make the guest feel at home. I stayed for 5 days and enjoyed getting to know Elaine and Jim while I stayed with them. They even cooked dinner for me one evening!

Elaine and Jim were the perfect hosts, making my first AirB&B experience one to remember. There house is immaculate and perfectly positioned. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and even dropped me and picked me up from the next town! Highly recommended! Thank you Elaine and Jim! All the best.

A wonderful first experience of airbnb! Elaine and Jim are such fabulous hosts - welcoming, easy-going and warm-hearted. Their home is gorgeously kept, stylish, pristine and super comfortable. The bedroom is lovely and homely, has a wonderfully comfortable bed, has fantastic views over the surrounding countryside and the bathroom super clean and well kept. There is nothing they have not thought of in order to make the stay just perfect. Everything that you could possibly need is provided and Elaine and Jim are instinctively great hosts. The location of the village is excellent for exploring the Scottish Borders as well as Northumberland and the coast and the village is very pretty with a friendly little pub. An absolutely fantastic stay - Thank you so much!

Elaine and Jim helped us enjoy our first ever airbnb experience! They responded quickly in the same day when we got into a tight spot looking for accommodations on Easter weekend and gave us a wonderful night in the Scottish countryside. Both Elaine and Jim were lovely to talk to and Jim makes a heck of a good breakfast! My travel weary wife was treated to a bubble bath complete with candles. I couldn't finish this review without mentioning the great view we were treated to from our room and from the kitchen. We fully recommend this B&B!

All very good - many thanks for everything!

An extremely spacious and beautiful bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom contains a comfortable lounge ,TV and DVD collection. Lovely views from the house. Elaine is very friendly and went out of her way to make us feel at home. She allowed me to use her washing machine and even brought the washing in off the line when it was going to rain. We had a good meal in the village pub. Breakfast was nice. Recommended place to stay and very relaxing. Elaine has decorated the area beautifuly and it is spotlessly clean.

Our hosts made us feel very welcome. They are a lovely couple. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The house is a lovely house and very clean. We are glad we decided to travel a little bit further than planned because it was worth it. We have already recommended it to friends.

We had a fabulous stay with Joyce in her wonderful home near Coldstream. It's very much in the country, extremely roomy, quiet and spotless. Joyce's breakfasts were wonderful and she made us feel very at home with maps, ideas and great conversation.Our 3 nights were truly superb, one of our nicest stays in the world, anywhere.

It was an awesome experince. Joyce was very warm in her hospitality. The place was well maintained and there were nice small touches to it like the breakfast basket, toiletries all those small important things nicely placed. We were surrounded by nature and with a nice view of sheep,meadow and flowers from our room window.. it was silent and peaceful. She was always ready to help us with whatever we needed. I would highly recommend to stay if anyone is around this area.

Very enjoyable time spent in the farmhouse apartment. Hosts were excellent and very accommodating, the house was clean and well equipped, we found everything we needed to cook with, there were nice little touches like a welcome basket with milk and bread, hot water bottles, leaflets on local attractions, and we made good use of a deck of cards in the games box.

Lovely location and fantastic apartment. Clean, tidy and very well looked after, it is somewhere we would certainly love to stay again. Joyce was extremely accommodating and very helpful throughout.

We spent a lovely few days here as a family of 4 with children aged 6 and 10. Joyce was very helpful and accommodating. The property was clean and well maintained with lots of nice little touches like a welcome food basket and other basic essentials. It was a great base to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. We loved the property and enjoyed being 'off the beaten track' as well as walking to the great little local pub in the evenings! If you want to get away from it all for a few days this is the place for you!

Very quiet and peaceful rural location. Handy for visiting Berwick on Tweed and the Scottish border towns.

A wonderfully calm and peaceful place. A warm welcome and a lovely apartment.

We had a wonderful stay, not only is Joyce extremely hospitable, also her husband dragged a table to one of the bedrooms for being able to work on. We mean, everything is possible. There are two nice fresh quiet bedrooms, with view over the fields, and a well equipped kitchen with relax corner and TV. Walks in direct neighbourhood are great and there is a pub on walking (1 mile) distance along a very nice foot path in the village nearby. Eggs if available (don’t know the mood of the chickens) are great!

Sue was very welcoming in her home and made a great breakfast. The twin bed bedroom and ensuite were nicely private as there was a door separating us from the main house. Great shower in the very modern bathroom.

Pleasant restful night in friendly family home Quiet location good breakfast

We were privileged to be Suzanne's first guests with airbnb, and I do mean privileged. We were given a very warm welcome by Suzanne and her family into their comfortable, very tasteful and spotlessly clean home. We chatted happily over a hot drink about this beautiful, interesting and historic area. When we asked about places to eat out that night, we were given many good choices and the place we decided on provided one of the best pub meals we have had in a very long time. The bedroom has its own en-suite facility, the beds are very comfy and in the morning we were given a huge choice of different and delicious breakfast options, including her own homemade bread and fruit freshly picked from her garden. We really enjoyed our time staying with this lovely, genuine family, nothing was too much trouble and there is a real concern for ensuring guests really do feel welcome, comfortable and safe. Highly recommended!

I was made welcome by Suzanne and the facilities were exactly as described

Sue's place was absolutely perfect for quick stop-over. The room was warm and cosy, the bathroom spotless, and towels and a dressing gown were provided. I got to enjoy home baked Bundt cake straight out of the oven and despite my early departure the next morning, Sue sent me off with sandwiches for the road. Thanks to Sue and her family (plus the dog) for making me feel so welcome.

Suzanne was a great host - she was easy to talk to, very helpful and opened her home to us. It was like we were friends forever! Branxton will be my second home in England! My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Suzanne's B&B

Suzanne was a star helping me out with my trip and the location is a great spot for exploring the borders. Wouldn't hesitate recommending a stay here in Branxton.

Friendly welcome, despite Suzanne having been away for the day. The village was interesting and handy to other attractions and activities e.g. Lindisfarne, Berwick and the Northumberland coast.

We chose Julie's house for our annual pre-Christmas weekend away, and this was one of our favourites - a beautiful wee house with luxuriously comfy sofas, carpets and beds; modern, well-equiped kitchen and bathroom; fantastic wood-burning stove with plenty of fuel provided; and a lovely welcome hamper that we really appreciated! There are loads of great touches all the way through the property and we loved it so much we've been taking notes and lots of photos to use in future ourselves - it really was our perfect home! The village itself feels quiet and calm, surrounded by beautiful countryside but still easy to get to from Edinburgh and close to Coldstream for groceries, etc. Flodden field is only a few minutes walk away too. We loved our cosy stay here and would definitely like to come back again - highly recommended!

We stayed in Mary's Cottage for two night and we had a lovely time. The cottage is so homely and beautifully decorated. The welcome basket was such a lovely idea. It was an ideal place to stay to visit Northumberland. Thanks so much Libby! We'll definitely stay again!

Tranquil, well-finished cottage which we enjoyed very much. Libby had gone to a lot of effort to make us feel welcome: lots of local info; wine, coffee and other goodies on arrival. A great stay.

Beautiful cottage with all the little details thought about. History buffs will love its proximity to Flodden Field.

Perfect Autumn retreat. My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights here & could have easily stayed a whole week. The cottage is beautifully presented and we were left wanting for nothing. We made good use of the log burner and DVDs on an evening, the OS maps came in handy for planning some blustery walks with the snacks from the lovely hamper to keep us going. The village is quiet and peaceful, great location if you have a car, just on the edge of the Scottish border, as well as the stunning Northumberland national park and half an hour from the coast! Will be recommending to my friends!

So cosy. Wish we had stayed longer.

The cottage was absolutely lovely, very cosy and we instantly felt at home. Julie was in touch with all arrival details so we had no trouble finding our way around the village. We highly recommend staying here for an amazing quiet and romantic getaway!

Beautiful cottage, in a beautiful area. From the welcome hamper, to the ready to light fire. The handy little book of instructions, to the drawers full of dvd's for a cosy night in - this was a perfect little retreat. Thank you so much to Libby for the hospitality. We'll definitely be back.

I loved staying here in Northumberland. It's a great location for walking and definitely a swim in the river Till! Close to Berwick and the unspoilt coastline. Northumberland is one of my favourite places in Britain so perhaps I'm biased, the host Lucy is extremely friendly and welcoming and I'm looking forward to returning someday!

The host canceled this reservation 88 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house was really nice and clean but unfortunately the host was a nuisance and insensitive. We had told her we were up for a funeral yet on the morning we were leaving she started telling off one of our party like a naughty child because we left clean washing on the draining board. She also made a fuss that there was a bit of dirt in the laminated hallway where we removed our shoes on entrance! My brother arrived on the morning of departure, he suffers from very serious mental heath issues, she gave him the third degree and quite honestly looked him up and down like a criminal. I had told her prior to her visit that it was for a funeral so her behaviour was completely unreasonable. Especially as we only spent about 4hrs there over the weekend. I would have given a glowing response for the property but she really ruined what was already a very difficult weekend.

Fabulous stay at Orchard Cottage with Lucy a wonderful host. Everything from the booking process and communications, to the arrival and greeting was top notch. The cottage is in an idyllic location and was a perfect getaway for us. Exactly as described and spotlessly clean. Many thanks!

The only negative about this place is having to leave. The cottage is absolutely spotless, uneblievably cosy, welcoming and in the most beautiful location. My family and I have such a relaxing time staying at the cottage. We spent 2 nights and travelled to a couple of different areas in Northumberland during our stay, it was the perfect base as it wasnt far from the A1. The cottage sits right at the River Till which we also explored, so scenic and peaceful. The cottage is kept so clean, tidy and welcoming. Loved coming back after our days out to chill out in it with the lovely view of the gardens/orchard from the living room window. Lucy was a lovely host and I definitely intend returning with my family sometime in the near future. Would 100% recommend Orchard Cottage.
