Cottage vacation rentals in Saint Abbs

Honeymug provided the perfect backdrop for our group of six meeting up to reminisce about college days forty odd years ago! The cottage was comfortable and cosy and the welcome basket of goodies was indeed most welcome! Very comfortable beds to sleep off the long, coastal walks and swims in the indoor pool. We ate in The Bosk on our last evening and enjoyed it very much, having sampled the Friday evening pizzas too! Everyone was a fan of the outdoor jacuzzi, which we booked each evening and whirled away an hour chatting to the various local members we shared it with! Everyone was so friendly and we learned a lot about the area. Highlights were our boat trip to Inner Farne, an afternoon with the Chillingham cattle, and a day spent on the beautiful and peaceful Lindisfarne. We left feeling there was so much else to discover and we'll hope to be back to do just that! Many thanks John!

Beautiful stay, the cottage was incredibly clean and well presented, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the hot tub was excellent. Fab location and great little walk down to the river at the back. 10/10

Myself and 2 friends just had a brilliant weekend at Dawn and Darren’s cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The cottage was perfect for what we needed, the decor was lovely and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Hopefully later this year! Thank you Dawn and Darren.

This was a great find. Katrina is one of the most responsive and informative hosts I have had on Airbnb. Being from out of the country we had several questions and she answered so quickly. There were some hiking trails near by which was a nice surprise, and Katrina recommended Gloagburn which was a hidden gem! Would recommend this to anyone looking to be off the beaten path but still have plenty to do!

Thanks Ben, we had a great weekend at Stanley Cottage. We really appreciated all the thoughtful touches, dog treats, human treats, phone chargers, hair straighteners, bathroom products!! The cottage was very comfortable and the hot tub a welcome pause, thank you.

We had a wonderful time at Kylie’s cottage. The place was very clean and tidy. She was very helpful and responsive, gave us some advice where to go and what to see in the area. We totally coming back and recommend to friends and family

We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

We had a brilliant few days away at the cottage, the place was lovely and clean for us arriving. The courtyard is amazing, we loved listening to all of the birds whilst using the hot tub. The attic space was a perfect little reading nook! Susan was super friendly and accommodating - we’ll definitely be back!

Great stay in Philippa’s place, very cosy and set out in the countryside. Would definitely come back for some quiet time.

We are returning guests to this lovely cottage in Norham. Amazing location with lovely walks right from the doorstep. The accommodation is comfortable, homely and quirky. Slept very well. Lovely touch of a gift for dog on arrival. Outside space is a lovely private and secure sun trap. We will definitely be back!

We loved Amble. It was completely new to both of us and it was delightful. With easy access to the more famous sites and some fantastic restaurants, still the highlights of the day were often the walks directly from the cottage to the beaches and the harbour area. Donny's Cottage is one of the very best airbnb's I've stayed in. It was pretty, very comfortable, had everything we needed - even good knives - and is in easy reach of the harbour. We were both able to park right outside the house. The only thing missing is outside space but it is so close to the green areas by the beach this really wasn't an issue. My little dog and I enjoyed our early morning and last thing at nights' trips down to the grass. As two friends travelling together it's sometimes hard to find properties with two double bedrooms, and two equally comfortable beds, but Donny's Cottage had 10/10 for that - and really everything else. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

Could not fault The Hemmel at all. Absolutely beautiful. The accommodation, surroundings and view was exceptional. Ezra our labradoodle loved the enclosed garden. From the greeting off Kate, the beautiful homemade cake and flowers left for us, watching the red squirrel and the beautiful Northumbrian countryside and beaches, there was nothing we did not like about our stay. If we decide to come back to this neck of the woods, this would be our first pick. Five stars and beyond.

Lovely property, in a lovely village. Well equipped - even a welcome basket for the dogs. Friendly locals with a few places to see. Plenty of places to walk with the dogs. Good food at the local cafe. Village also had several EV chargers.

Another excellent stay. Great location. The house has all you need for a relaxing holiday in the Scottish Borders. Highly recommend.

We loved Helen and her place so much. Truly can’t wait to go back, I really wish we stayed longer and hopefully next time we will. The place is perfect, it’s very spacious for 3. We loved the kitchen and the fireplace in the living room. We also loved the garden and walking down the street there is a beautiful foot path to take as well if you follow the signs. Helen was so sweet and fun to talk to as well as Josh her terrier! We hope to come back next year and spend more time here.

A five star review for a high quality cottage. Excellent and very quiet location, ample parking by the property, superbly furnished, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Caroline was extremely helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

This place is amazing. It’s one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. I highly recommend the White Cottage. If it’s available for your travel dates you should book it, you won’t be dissatisfied.

Another wonderful stay. A beautiful, peaceful location and perfect base for exploring the surrounding area.

A lovely cosy, comfortable and clean cottage. Great value. In a great location and within walking distance of the beautiful beach and coastal walks, also good choice of local eating places. Highly recommended.

Cute place, small but perfect for a few days away. Everything has been cleverly thought of to fit a tiny space. It’s a great location too but you do need to book if you want to eat at the pub as it is very busy!

We had a wonderful three-night stay at Joanne and Brian’s cottage in Scotby. The home is beautifully furnished, incredibly clean, and finished to a high standard. We especially appreciated the story of Madge and Flo—the old photographs and renovation history added so much character and charm. The location is quiet but conveniently close to Carlisle, making it a great base for exploring the area. Joanne and Brian were excellent hosts—very responsive and helpful. A small issue with the Hive was quickly resolved, and we appreciated their attentiveness. The welcome basket with wine, snacks, and quality mattresses were lovely touches that made our stay extra comfortable. We’d highly recommend this cottage to anyone and would definitely return!

Garden Cottage is a beautiful home which is set in very rural surroundings. Everything was as listed and very well equipped. An excellent place to relax and switch off and an hours drive from Edinburgh and coastal regions. Cottage was well maintained and very clean, beds were comfy with plenty of pillows. Secure gardens to keep dogs safe too. Lots of helpful information provided about the cottage and where to visit during the stay. Chris is super helpful and friendly. Thank you for a delightful stay.

For our first family holiday to Northumberland we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. Candi’s cottage is in an ideal location for Bamburgh, Seahouses and Holy Island, to name but a few. In fact, before arriving, Candi messaged me with some recommendations, which went down a treat with the family! As for the accommodation itself? Immaculate! The kitchen and main bedroom are much bigger than they look on the photos. The kitchen and bathroom have been renovated (recently?) and look lovely. The kitchen has all the utensils you’ll need- even some Tupperware which we used for our picnics! Although we weren’t in the house for long each day, having the Smart TV was a nice touch to wind down after our excursions. All four of us (2 adults, 2 children) slept well and really enjoyed our time in Candi’s cottage. The girls especially appreciated the sheep themed cookies that were left for them. They also loved cartwheeling up and down the garden. A great stay- thanks Candi!

We had a lovely time - beautiful place in stunning surrounding countryside. Hosts have been so thoughtful and helpful. There were lots of suggestions about where to visit and so much we didn't have time for. If in this part of the world, it is certainly worth a stay!
