One of Scotland’s most unique holiday cottages, Nisbet’s Tower sits high above Eyemouth Harbour, and has the most stunning views of the pretty fishing town and the North Sea beyond. Originally built as Dovecot and cart house for nearby Gungreen House, home of the local trader and notorious smuggler John Nisbet, this Georgian tower offers the most wonderful location for that romantic getaway. The ground floor has a twin bedroom and shower room, whilst upstairs is an open plan lounge/diner with a well equipped kitchen area.
Berwickshire has lots to offer the holidaymaker with activities ranging from surfing at nearby Coldingham Bay and to the more leisurely pursuits of golf or fishing on one of the top salmon rivers on offer including the River Tweed. Explore the fabulous countryside by car, bike, on foot or by horse with many wonderful out of the way routes to take, or head along the rugged coastline with its secluded bays and picturesque fishing villages. Visit the many historic sites or enjoy a day trip to Edinburgh, which is only an hours drive, or simple wander down to the harbour of Eyemouth and watch the coming and going of this picturesque little port.
