A delightful bolthole, with a chic interior design, this enticing annexe is ideal for couples or friends keen to explore the picturesque Scottish borderlands. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom studio comes with a private courtyard garden from which guests can wander just 300 metres down to the beach at Coldingham Bay. Here you can hire surfing gear and pause for coffee or an ice cream in the cafe. The property is just 1 mile from Coldingham village, where you can dine out, potter in the shops and see the ruins of Coldingham Priory, a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. The coastal village of St Abbs, where you can book a boat trip out to spot dolphins and seals, is 1.5 miles away – visit St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve while you are here. Plan a day out to Berwick-upon-Tweed, 13.5 miles away, to explore the coastal town and follow its famous Elizabethan walls.
Before stepping inside this bijou annexe, take a moment to appreciate the surrounding greenery and distant sounds of the ocean. Head in and uncover warm and welcoming, studio-style accommodation that combines a well-appointed kitchenette with a dining space, a lounge area and a sumptuous bed. Sink into the soft seating after days of coastal adventure, flicking on the Smart TV for easy entertainment. When stomachs rumble, cook up a Scottish feast in the sleek kitchenette and enjoy the chef’s work at the round dining table inside, or al fresco-style out in the garden. At the end of each busy day away, retire to the inviting super-king-size bed, which can be converted into twins on request to suit your arrangements. Completing the interior is a well-equipped shower room.
Outside, unwind in the ever-peaceful courtyard garden, sipping morning coffees and evening tipples at the bistro-style seating, or using the charcoal BBQ to cook up memorable al fresco meals. The garden features a secret, 300-metre path leading to the beach, while private parking is available for up to two cars.
