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.

Cottage a little bit tired now, obviously a long time since the pictures on website were taken. It is worth noting there is no outside space accessed directly from the property to sit out, only communal grass, & no access from the property to the grounds facing the sea without walking around the entire building.
