Located just 350 metres from the beach at Coldingham Sands, this glorious holiday home on the Scottish Borders is a truly wonderful spot for picnickers, wild swimmers, surfers and dog walkers alike. Start and finish each day with the sand between your toes, then when you’re tired from the sea breezes, retreat into your comfy dwelling and relax with the wood burner roaring. With space for six human guests and two dogs, this comfortable accommodation is excellent for a family holiday or trip among friends who love to be beside the seaside.

This peaceful haven offers gorgeous ocean vistas from many of its windows. Its chic, cosy interior features cool blues, tasteful artwork and stylish wooden accents, setting the scene for spending quality time with loved ones.

In the attractive lounge, curl up with a book or lose yourselves in a film on the Smart TV. Adjoining the lounge is the kitchen/diner, an airy and roomy space framed by soothing sea views. The modern kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious evening meals and picnic hampers bursting with treats. A utility area with an extra WC is handy for rinsing sand from feet (and paws) or washing salty garments.

When you’re ready for a good night’s sleep, head up to the first floor where you’ll find one double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room for privacy. A second bedroom features four bunk beds suitable for either children or adults. This room includes a Smart TV for those indulgent holiday mornings relaxing in bed. A well-appointed main bathroom completes the indoor layout, offering a serene setting for a bubble bath after an action-packed day.

With its wide, gently sloping sands, this glorious coastal locale on the East Berwickshire coast is much loved by both residents and visitors. Its lovely sheltered beach is monitored by RNLI Lifeguards during peak holiday times, so you’ll feel entirely safe as you make the most of the water.

Whether you prefer rock pooling, basking in the sun or diving into the waves, there really is something for everyone. You can hire wetsuits, bodyboards, paddleboards and kayaks from a local surf shop in high season, and when the conditions are right.

There’s a seasonal beach cafe 350 metres away and further amenities in Coldingham village, 1 mile inland. A nearby coastal village well worth the trip is the pretty St Abbs (1.5 miles), offering a quaint harbour, fishing boats and fantastic seafood dining options. Eyemouth, 4 miles to the south, has a lovely golf course with top coastal views and historical sites you can explore such as Gunsgreen House, built by the local smuggler and merchant John Nisbet in the 1750s.

You can reach both the above locations via the 30-mile-long Berwickshire Coastal Path, which runs right past the dwelling. Any pets with you will adore leading the way along this waymarked trail rich in wildlife including rare birds like puffins, kittiwakes and sandpipers.

Beautiful place in a stunning location....if the weather is bad (it was ;-)) you can always look out at the sea with a cosy fire. Really high spec and spotlessly clean. Great facilities and a stone's throw along the cliffs to pretty St Abbs. Can't wait to come back!

We had a super holiday here. The accommodation was great, with beautiful views to the beach and ocean. Lots to do in walking distance - St Abbs harbour, St Abbs Head Nature Reserve, Eyemouth and Burnmouth Coastal walk and Coldingham with its delightful Priory and village shops and pubs. The accomodation was cosy, clean, comfy beds and a basket fullRead more of useful doggy delights for our 4 legged friend! Also, in easy driving distance are the historic towns of Dunbar and Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Fantastic! Hide
