Great Weekend

This house is faultless. Well equipped, spacious and furnished without compromise throughout. Considering we were a party of 10 men on a golfing holiday the house still felt large enough to accomodate all of us easily. All of us would return with our families to explore the local area more as all we saw were golf courses - but the course at Eyemouth is exceptional, both in quality and value. It is a bit off the beaten track, but this adds to charm of the place. The customer service received was also exceptional. As I said the place is impossible to find fault with.

Westloch Cottage is just as described in the advert, beautiful. Very spacious, accommodating 10 (6 adults and 4 children) of us easily. It has everything that you could possible need, from utensils in the kitchen to books to read. Unfortunately the weather was not always kind to us, but we really didn't mind as the house itself was so relaxing. The gardens are lovely plenty of space and well maintained for the adults to sit and the children to play. The kids were kept well entertained by a neighbouring puppy who visited us on a daily basis to play and steal our balls which we then retrieved on our walks out. The surrounding area is beautiful and tranquil, ideal for country walks but recommend bringing suitable footwear as it does get a bit wet. Coldingham Bay is lovely, perfect little beach for the children, we also visited the Museum of Flight in East Lothian on a rainy day which was very interesting. The views of the coast line and cliffs are breathtaking and are only a short walk away from the house. Can highly recommend eating at Oblo's in Eyemouth and we also got fish and chips 'delivered' from MacKays in Eyemouth, which were fantastic and have to say take some beating! Correspondence was fantastic, Janis was really helpful and answered any questions promptly and accurately prior to our visit. Would thoroughly recommend stopping here and would not hesitate to return some day.

We struck gold when we found Westloch Cottage. The house was beautiful and well equiped and was extremely spacious, even for a party of 10! It was great to have such a big dining table and we spent many happy hours gathered round it. Highlight meal was our 40th anniversary moon landing space party! The garden was also brilliant and was well played in by all the kids (and most of the adults too if we're honest!) The owners provide excellent customer service. Booking was easy and they were most helpful in dealing with any queries we had. We really felt they gave us a very personal service and they came across as genuinely wanting us to have a great holiday and wanting to do everything they could to make this happen. The location of the house is perfect - lots of peace and quiet but close enough to shops etc when we needed them. The area is also superb and we very much enjoyed exploring it. We loved Coldingham Bay and would also highly recommend the glass bottom boat trip from Eyemouth - great value for money, especially if you go when there are lots of birds nesting on the cliffs. We would definitely go back to the Borders area and if we do Westloch Cottage will be our first choice for accommodation.

Our week went so quickly I dont know where all the time went. The cottage was just perfect, we had the whole family around that lovely big table every night for evening meal, something we dont normally have time for. The cottage has everything you could possibly ask for even down to a selection of DVDs and board games, the wife and kids even managed to complete the 1000 piece disney jigsaw (did take them most of the week to complete though). The directions that were supplied were spot on and we found the cottage without any problems. The surrounding area is full of small coastal villages with some lovely views across the beaches and pubs which serve some great food. We did intend to take advantage of the fly fishing available at both lochs near the cottage (one to the front of the cottage and one to the rear) but we ran out of time and didn't get round to it. Deffinitely give the cottage a try, you will not regret it.

The ideal place for a holiday with extended family. We felt well informed and the cottage certainly more than lived up to our expectations. The surrounding area is beautiful and the house itself offered even more than we hoped for (the kids couldn't believe their luck, having a PS2 in their own room). A few of the ideas (like the built in cupboards) may end up being copied at home! The huge living room divided into two cosier areas is a fantastic idea. We'll have to practice with the barbeque next time - it was like an inferno!
The area is brilliant for joggers & cyclists as well as hikers.
All in all we found it an ideal place to stay where everyone found something they could enjoy. The little café in St. Abbs is wonderful and the coastal walks are breathtaking. We can't comment on any restaurants as it was so much fun cooking together in the big kitchen.

Delighted with the house- which is spacious, very well equipped and in a wonderful location. We stayed there over Easter with our adult children and their partners and enjoyed evenings in the large sitting room and round the table and daytime walks along the cliffs.
Loads of space, plenty of advice on how to use the gadgets and equipment- and even a bottle of wine and box of excellent biscuits to welcome us.
More than happy to recommend it.

We had a fantastic weekend in September 2008 at Westloch Cottage. There were 10 sensible ladies from Edinburgh and we loved the Cottage so much we are going back in 2009.

There is lots of room and the cottage has all the mod cons, most of us agreed that the cottage was better equiped that our own houses. It is lovely and bright and the rooms are large and airey.

Its in a great spot so if you just want to get away from it all and have some nice walks in the country or on the clifs its perfect. But if you want to do some sightseeing it is positioned very well for places like Edinburgh, Bamburgh, Holy Isle, we even went as far as Anwick.

If the weather is not that great then there are plenty of books and games to keep you occupied.

Paul & Sally make you feel very welcome and I would reccomend using this accomodation. The proof of the pudding is that we are going back!

Our stay at Westloch Cottage was relaxing and most enjoyable. 'Cottage' often conjures up an image of a quirky house with drafts, damp and dusty old furniture, however Westloch Cottage is completely modern and clean with lots of light and an uncluttered interior.

The house is very well equipped in a secluded countryside spot. Perfect for getting away from it all, but for those who like to stay in touch you still get a mobile signal, and the wireless broadband is a nice addition. If you have a laptop with you, you can relax in the evening after a day of walks and fresh air with a glass of wine and email your pictures of the days events to friends and family back home.

Plenty of wonderful walks to be had and you can start a walk from just around the corner and in a few minutes be along the east coast with some wonderful views.

Paul and Sally made the whole process of booking very easy and worry free.

The only negative, just a shame we had to leave and come home, but then it wouldn't be a holiday would it?
