This property is nestled in a beautiful rural area close to Allanton, Chirnside, Paxton and the medieval town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. It's also within easy reach of many beautiful sandy beaches including Spittal and Coldingham. Paxton House is only 4 miles away and has a lovely tearoom, adventure play park and an array of activities to enjoy including boat trips and fishing on the River Tweed. There are many other local attractions within a short drive including Floors, Bamburgh, Thirlstaine and Tantallon Castles. Edinburgh is easily accessible by car or train, with the Berwick upon Tweed railway station just 7 miles away offering a regular train service which takes just over an hour.

Stepping inside this charming south-facing stone-built property that dates back to the late 1800s, you'll first come into the hall which is the ideal place to store your outdoor clothing. Then, step through to the light and bright lounge. Relax on the comfortable sofas after a day out exploring the beautiful local area and watch a great movie on the Smart TV; on those cooler evenings, switch on the lovely wood burner-effect electric fire. To the rear of the lounge is the dining area, the perfect spot to enjoy romantic or family meals together. From here, a stable door leads directly out to the enclosed garden with a seating area. Next is the well-equipped kitchen with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and washing machine. This is followed by the bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. Heading up the stairs, you will find a spacious double bedroom and a further twin bedroom, both with ample storage space and seating areas.

Venture outside to the fully enclosed garden with a charcoal BBQ and a seating area for al fresco dining. Here, you can enjoy a lazy evening star gazing perhaps with a wee dram, good local ale or a nice glass of wine. Also located directly adjacent to the cottage is a very handy, well-stocked farm shop. There is off-road parking available for two cars in front of the property.

We spent a week here in September and were more than comfortable. The cottage was very well equipped and therefore didn't feel the need to eat out every day. Perfectly situated to visit the beautiful beaches north and south of the border along with the inland towns of Kelso, Melrose and Duns. We would certainly recommend it to others

Excellent location, very comfortable cottage well situated for visiting so many interesting places close by. Owners were exceptionally helpful as i had made a mistake and had forgotten to order a cot but one appeared immediately on arrival. Great local pubs for dining out. Would definitely come back.

The cottage was in a quiet, rural location but well within easy reach of Berwick on Tweed and Kelso. We were also able to walk to and from Paxton House along the quite country roads.

Just back from a week at the Castle Barns Cottage with husband, toddler and dog. The cottage is ideal for our needs. Spacious, clean and well equipped. Although it is out of the way (10/15 min drive to shops or places of interest) we knew this when we were booking, so wasnt any issue to us. The garden was fully enclosed as advertised which meant ouRead morer son and dog could happily go in and out. This place for perfect for us! And would highly recommend! Hide
