Customer Reviews of Ray Bells, Scottish Borders - Sleeps 2
1st comment: The cottage is situated in tranquil and picturesque setting. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would recommend a day trip to Lindisfarne / Holy Island. March 2012.
2nd comment: A beautiful property in a quiet location. It has everything you could ever need during your holiday plus more. A lovely welcome pack with milk, bread and biscuits. Also plenty of logs for the wood burner to have cosy nights in. The walks around the estate are stunning and if you like wildlife plenty can be spotted. Feb 2012.
3rd comment: A beautiful little cottage, perfect for a romantic getaway. Peace and quiet, with some lovely walks. Jan 2012.
4th comment: Absolutely beautiful property, the decor was stunning! Very quiet but short walk to the main street. Just what we were looking for, cannot wait to go back! Nov 2011.
5th comment: Really lovely cottage in a quiet setting - kitchen has everything you need, the owner even left butter, jam, milk, fresh orange, tea, coffee, biscuits and bread to get you started. Nice touches including complimentary chocolate bars and soap. It was clean and very cosy with lovely decor throughout - gorgeous wood burning fire, logs were left daily. Can’t wait to come back! Oct 2011.
6th comment: We found the cottage very clean and comfortable - met all our needs. We will definitely go back. Oct 2011.
7th comment: One of the most charming, comfortable and well-appointed cottages we have ever stayed in. We genuinely could find fault with nothing. The paths around the park were well maintained and signed, and the cottage garden was immaculately kept - we hope to come again in the summer months to take advantage of the picnic bench! Oct 2011.
