Customer Reviews of Cowdrait,Eyemouth, sleeps4
1st comment: This was a pleasant property in a gorgeous location. The views are fantastic from the front of the house, but then the sea is across the road! Burnmouth harbour makes for a lovely stroll. There is plenty to do in this part of the country and this makes for a lovely base. March 2012.
2nd comment: This house makes you feel very much at home. It does not have the charm of a traditional cottage (because it isn’t a cottage) but the location is great. It is lovely to have the sea views. If you want good outside space then this isn’t the place for you but it makes a very good base. The house is well equipped. Oct 2011.
3rd comment: Very comfortable, fantastic location, well worth another visit. We have rented 5 holiday cottages in the past and this was the best. It could do with a list of contact numbers. Dec 2009.
4th comment: Excellent position. Great views of the wild life. Friendly neighbours. A great base for our holiday. Very restful and peaceful. July 2009.
5th comment: The location, views, and wildlife were excellent, quiet and relaxing. The property was comfortable and fine for our needs. The beds were a little uncomfortable, but overall we were happy. July 2009.
6th comment: An ideal accommodation for families wanting a quiet holiday but within easy reach of numerous local attractions. Nature lovers would also enjoy the area. April 2009.
7th comment: The cottage was a home from home and the scenery was marvellous. We all had a really wonderful time - Thank you. Aug 2006.
8th comment: Enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Burnmouth. The property is situated a few yards from the sea, so beautiful uninterrupted views are guaranteed from the lounge and two of the bedrooms. The village is peaceful and unspoilt, offering lovely walks and a pretty harbour. The house is simply but stylishly furnished and has a real calm feel about it - the photographs on the website really don’t do it justice. The caretaker next door was very welcoming (nothing was too much trouble) and was keen to suggest other beaches and castles in the area that we could visit - all of which turned out to be beautiful. Can’t wait to visit again. Aug 2006.
