“Had a fabulous week at Craggs Cottage.”

Very relaxing. It’s a beautiful cottage, home from home with everything you need. The owners are attentive, you couldn’t ask for anything more. Wonderful farm with plenty to see. Great location for exploring the local area, Edinburgh and the East Coast. Would highly recommend.

“This was our second time at the cottage and we had a lovely relaxing time.”

The cottage was lovely and had been renovated since our last time. There . Great place to relax, surrounded by beautiful scenery and plenty of farm animals. The owners were so friendly and helpful especially when our car wouldn’t start. Can’t praise the cottage or the owners enough. Hopefully back again soon

“Alan and Kirsty are the most welcoming couple.”

I also met Alan's brother and was shown all of the cattle and sheep. It was an amazing welcome!

Mrs Rowland September 2022

“A really lovely cottage.”

Clean and very well equipped. Our only problem was discovering that the bathroom is 17 stairs down from the 2 main bedrooms! This isn’t made clear in the description of the cottage. Apart from this, a lovely holiday setting on a well kept farm.

- Mrs Rowland, September 2022
Mr Danes September 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Craggs Cottage.”

One small suggestion: a cafetiere in the kitchen would have been welcome.

- Mr Danes, September 2022
Miss Kenny August 2022

“Fantastic cottage in an awesome location!”

We had a great week at Craggs Cottage, nestled on the farm in beautiful countryside, perfect for a 2 and 6 year old who loved the animals on their doorstep! The cottage is well presented, has very comfy beds and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The garden was great and with the excellent weather we were able to eat out each night. Fantastic location for Kelso, Floors castle, even a trip up to the kelpies, and didn't feel touristy at all. Would recommend!

Rev Stone July 2021

“The cottage is comfortable and very well equipped, and Kirsty and Alan are brilliant hosts.”

Our little boy is mad about tractors and so they gave us a tour of the farm and even allowed us to sit in the cab of the combine harvester. Beautiful location and lots to explore in the Tweed valley.

Mrs Rankin October 2020

“We had such a cosy and fun week at Craggs Cottage.”

My kids loved a wee taste of life on the farm and the owners went out of their way to make it nice for us, with even a fruit loaf to welcome us. We have never been to the Borders and loved exploring the local area, will definitely be back to see some more of it. Beautiful area!

- Mrs Rankin, October 2020
Mrs Lister September 2020

“The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful spot, is super comfy and our dog loved the fields surrounding plus the large enclosed garden.”

Wonderful, welcoming host who provided all we needed and more. Lots to see and do locally with scope to strike out further also into the Scottish lowlands which we did on a day trip. Have returned home chilled and rested. Thankyou!

- Mrs Lister, September 2020
Mr Micklethwaite September 2020

“Craggs cottage was the best cottage we have ever stayed in.”

It was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. The beds provided ultimate comfort and the bedding and towels were like new. The garden was perfect too, well maintained and ideal for our dog. The views from the windows and the garden were stunning and we enjoyed watching the sheep. Kirsty welcomed us as we settled in, she was so kind and helpful, such a lovely lady, she had baked us a delicious fruit cake which we enjoyed with our first cup of tea, she certainly is a very good cake baker. I would highly recommend Craggs cottage, it is perfect.

Mrs Parrott December 2018

“A very friendly host and family who love to show you the farm and give suggestions of things to do.”

The only downside is the WiFi is temperamental which could be a negative to some. I do not think the photos do justice of how lovely and big the cottage is and how pretty the surrounding area is. Would highly recommend and go back in future.

- Mrs Parrott, December 2018
Mrs Macdonald September 2018

“The owners were extremely friendly and helpful,we enjoyed being on their farm they always made time to chat to us when they met us although it was harvest time for them.”

Most enjoyable for our grandson,highly recommend.

Jedburgh 14 miles; Wooler 16 miles.

Kelso is a lovely tranquil Borders town at the meeting point of the Tweed and Teviot rivers, with a cobbled town square and streets, and an array of stunning Georgian buildings, and a wealth of gorgeous countryside around it. Take time out to visit Floors Castle, a very prominent Stately Home with restaurants and gardens, designed by William Adam. Also close by are Mellerstain House, Kelso Abbey and the Kelso races. Mellerstain House is a stunning example of Georgian architecture at its finest. Designed by the architect William Adam and his son Robert in 1725, it is the residence of the 13th Earl of Haddington. The house is located within 80 acres of luscious rolling parkland and is in walking distance of Smailholm Tower, the ancestral home of Sir Walter Scott. Great fishing can be enjoyed on the Teviot, Tweed and Jed rivers and there are many excellent golf courses to choose from. Watch the spectacular and historic Common Ridings, held at Kelso, Hawick, Selkirk, Langholm, Lauder and others, with long histories. The Borders also offer some superb walking and cycling, be it on the coast, over the breathtaking hillsides or amongst the enchanting Border forests. The towns of Coldstream, Jedburgh, Kirk Yetholm and Wooler are just a short drive away and are a joy to explore at leisure.
