Gavinton, Southern Scotland - Sleeps 2

Accommodation details

This romantic retreat for two is in the charming conservation village of Gavinton, in the heart of the Scottish Borders. The pet-friendly cottage has been thoughtfully decorated and furnished, creating a cosy bolthole to return to after a day of exploring. The property is just 2 miles from the bustling market town of Duns, and you'll also be within easy reach of the Berwickshire coast and seaside resorts such as St Abbs, Eyemouth, and Berwick-upon-Tweed (all within 20 miles). The period stone cottage is bursting with personality, with a fabulous blend of vibrant soft furnishings, antique-style furniture, and striking fixtures and fittings.

Russet tones bring warmth to the living areas, and an array of homely touches ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Inside, leave walking boots and coats in the hallway, before moving through to the inviting lounge. Relax in here, after a day of adventure, snuggled up on the elegant sofa to watch a movie on the Smart TV or read a few pages of your book in the glow of the warming wood burner.

Tucked in one corner is a farmhouse-style dining table with bench seating for enjoying romantic dinners together. Just off the lounge/diner is a stylish kitchen with a Belfast sink, wooden worktops, and all the equipment needed for a self-catering getaway. Upstairs, an attractive king-size bedroom awaits, with calming decor and pretty, floral fabrics.

Also on this floor is a fabulous dressing room with ample storage for all your holiday attire. There is also a travel cot in here for those travelling with a wee bairn. A sleek shower room rounds off the accommodation. A short walk from the property is a peaceful allotment garden with outdoor seating where you can enjoy a sundowner on a balmy summer's evening.

The cottage has private parking for one car, with further on-street parking available nearby, subject to availability.
