We had an excellent holiday staying in Grooms cottage. The cottage was clean and cosy and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and even had a pint of milk in the fridge on arrival, dishwasher tablets and all cleaning products and a packet of biscuits on the table There were plenty of towels, good Wi-Fi signal, and even some books, games and DVDs. The grounds the cottages are in are beautiful and so quiet. We were surrounded by daffodils and blossom. It felt like a real escape. We found it an ideal location - not too far from some great beaches and in beautiful countryside. A great base for a lovely holiday exploring the Scottish boarders or Northumberland’s coast too. We would definitely recommend a stay here!

Beautifully appointed cottage, in an idyllically remote location. Drive until the tarmac runs out. Seeing wildflowers thriving, birds butterflies and other insects flying, fish and little critters in the running water, was an absolute joy.

The cottage itself was immaculate and clean and had everything you could need. The overview on your site needs looking at and changing. There was no welcome pack as stated. Some people would really object to this, and barking dogs day and night. Not in your overview and you only find out if you read the cottage info book.

What are the must-see attractions in the Scottish Borders?

Unmissable attractions

Floors Castle

Surrounded by misty fields and forests, Scotland's largest inhabited castle is like nothing you've ever seen. Its grand crenellations were the creation of leading architect William Adam in 1721. Stroll along the river and through the Victorian walled garden, and admire the vast collection of fine art, porcelain, and restored tapestries.

Melrose Abbey

This ancient edifice is a masterpiece of Gothic style, with kaleidoscopic stained glass windows that illuminate the interior with rainbows in the late afternoon sunshine. A Cistercian monastery was built on the site in 1136, which suffered at the hands of the English due to its location at the English border. However, the monks were allowed to stay on after its dissolution.

Traquair House

Dating back almost a thousand years, Traquair House was originally a hunting lodge for Scottish royalty. Its library, brewery, and incredible hedge maze are now living history. Enjoy traditional Scottish fare at the Cottage Restaurant, which dates to 1745. Make sure to try the famous Traquair House Ales.

Glentress Forest

Grab your mountain bike and venture around Glentress. There are more forest trails here (over 50 miles) than anywhere else in Tweed Valley, making Glentress a pretty perfect place to experience the Scottish wild at its most rural and idyllic. Horseriding and orienteering are other superb ways to explore this stunning corner of Scotland.

Dawyck Botanic Garden

As green-fingered visitors will likely know, Dawyck is one of the world's most prestigious arboreta. The award-winning visitors centre teaches you all about the proliferation of exotic plants that somehow thrive in Scotland's rugged landscape. The defining structural element in the garden is the Dutch Bridge, an ideal setting for a photo.
