Reviews for this holiday house rental in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom

Rating
5 out of 5

Comfortable, interesting house in great location

Gordon & Heather Gloucestershire
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This house is just lovely, very comfortable and welcoming. Extremely well furnished with everything supplied that you could possible wish for. Beds are comfortable with spotless linen. Customer service was just as we like it - there if we needed it but we were left completely to ourselves.
Location was great - lovely views in a pretty village with bus to Edinburgh passing the front door.
For a holiday in the Scottish borders this house would be hard to beat. Perfect location to get out and about, and perfect house to relax and feel at home in when the weather isn't so good.
