    It was lambing season and we were lucky enough to see the baby lambs and enjoy the animals . The cottages are beautiful and peaceful and really nicely fitted out - a real retreat and in reach of some amazing trails too. The family that run the farm are super kind and welcoming and incredibly hard working - I would recommend this place to everybody and I will definately book again.

    As a disabled person it was a bit isolated with no proper pavement when you leave accommodation. For most it probably wouldn't be a problem, bus believed to stop pretty close.

    Clean, very comfortable, great scenery, good facilities.

    Lovely little cottage with all the amenities you could ever need. Was warm and cozy despite subzero temperatures. Hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Loved the Christmas tree and decorations,. Beautiful outlook into the snow covered hills which was perfect for a Christmassy winter get away but sure it would be beautiful in other seasons too. Highly recommend, I'll definitely be back. Thank you for a memorable stay.

    Nowhere to hang clothes but difficult to see where a wardrobe could be placed. But it wasn't a problem for us.

    Comfortable, convenient location, friendly hosts, quiet environment and beautiful scenery. Close to the delightful town of Peebles.

    Very peaceful. Lovely lady Jan met us and checked if we needed anything during our stay. Parking right next to accommodation. Well decorated and fresh immaculate airy cottage. 5 minute drive to Peebles. The cottage had everything needed to cook a meal. Fridge, washing machine with outside drying area and pegs, coffee machine, cooker, dishwasher. Comfy beds. TV and Wi-Fi. Have been twice before and will return again.

    We found this as a last minute booking to go to a family funeral. Perfect for what we needed. Peak holiday period so full price paid. Everything was ideal and I managed to make friends with the farmyard cat.

    Very clean bright well furnished Self catering cottage that had everything you could need in the kitchen to make a meal. Comfortable beds. Beautiful surroundings. Cottage not far from the main road but you did not hear the traffic. Ideal as just outside Peebles for the cycling event. The hosts and their family were so lovely, checked if we needed anything when we saw them. Will be back.
