Wonderful cottage
What a beautiful cottage. It is really well equipped and we had everything we needed. Very clean and tidy. The setting is beautiful and the decking area off of the master bedroom is gorgeous. The cottage is much larger than it looks in the photographs. We had a wonderful weekend. The pheasants and the rabbits provided great entertainment and the gardens are stunning. We'll definitely book again. Julie kept in touch with us from booking and also came over to see us when we arrived. Thank you Julie and Paul, the cottage is spectacular, a lovely birthday treat for myself and my family.

We had the best time ever staying in the Stable cottage. We were blessed with the weather and the cottage was superb. Our Granddaughters had a wonderful time helping to feed the chickens and the neighbours horse and they could play in the garden in a very safe environment.Everyone was so friendly, the owners were onsite but never a problem and we will return again I am sure..

Chilling at Stables Cottage, Canonbie
Good directions given by hosts and easy check-in. Property was exactly as expected from the marketing information. Well equipped and comfortable. Hosts pleasant and available. Location very picturesque and tranquil. A lovely place to retreat from the hustle and bustle. Good base for walking or exploring Dumfries and Galloway/ Western Northumberland by car.

Think I need to go to Specsavers!!
Sadly I misread the property info and didn’t realise it was a pet-free cottage. We were on our way there when I realised so we couldn’t actually stay and ended up going somewhere else. The pictures looked lovely ( I have based my “score on the pictures alone!) and I’m sure we would have had a great time ….if we didn’t have the dog with us!
