Beautiful modern accommodation, friendly people and locals, very helpful accommodating proprietors, great parking and facilities. The apartment met all our needs and was incredibly functional with top spec furnishings and equipment that all worked perfectly. The surrounding area is utterly beautiful, wild and surprisingly non touristic compared with North Berwick or Northumberland areas. So much wildlife and lots of birds. We walked the costal path to St Abb's, go to Ebbcarrs cafe - (easy almost flat short walk about 15/20mins) and to Eyemouth (a longer walk about 1hr) The Ship was good and you can feed the seals, Eyemouth is definitely the go to for food shopping with butchers fishmongers and a large coop. We seen a Roe deer family, rabbits, swan family and a peregrine among others and picked some delicious free/windfall food along the way. We expected to visit lots of the costal villages in between Northumberland and Berwick but strangely spent all our time just in this area and it was so relaxing. The beach is stunning, soft, sandy and reasonably shallow within the bay. It can be a bit windy with surf but that means lots of surfers and body boarder to watch while sitting on the beach people watching. There are lifeguards from 10 til 6pm. There's lots of picnic benches and seating dotted around the bay with perfect views. There's great toilets and a very good dog friendly cafe which can be takeaway or sit in directly on the beach. The area is rugged and wild seemingly unspoiled. We were so lucky with the weather however coming from the west coast it was notable how quickly the rain can pass and and the weather change.

A very pretty location close to lots of places of interest. The food and drinks at the nearest pub were reasonably priced and St Abbs was lovely. A day trip to Edinburgh is an easy drive and Holy Island is just down the road.

Enjoyed the village and walks to nearby St Abbs . Ate at near by pub - make sure you book as cooks disappear if not enough customers about. Venue had lovely grounds which I’m sure would be brilliant in the summer.

THE fabulous beach, the easy walk to At Abbs Harbour and the Smugglers trail to Eyemouth. The short drives to Cove, a beautiful quirky harbour, especially the means of getting there, the walk up to the lighthouse near Pettico Wick Bay, past Mire Loch(bring good boots wear appropriate clothing, bring your binoculars), to Partanhall and Cowdrait Harbours and the short distance to Berwick, (walk the ramparts). Good parking in town.

Coldingham is a small town with a lot of history - and a sense of pride of place. The Priory ruins are a must see and interesting in themselves. Coldingham Bay is excellent for short beach walks to exercise humans as well as dogs and St Abbs harbour and nature reserve are both a short distance away. In respect of the latter we didn't time our walk quite as well as we could have done so didn't see any seals - but we could hear bull seals very clearly bellowing at each other. Our hosts tell us that dolphins are also regular visitors for anyone who loves marine mammals. Coldingham itself is blessed with two pubs, sadly with restricted access and hours due to Covid, and in normal times both have a reputation for good food. A local general store, a Post Office, Butcher and antique/gift shop complete the picture - and the holiday camp bar/restaurant/fish and chip shop is available to non-residents. Anything else is available in Eyemouth - and if that's a problem then Berwick is a 15 minute drive (or less) from Eyemouth.
