The cottage has everything you need (including a generous welcome pack), very clean and the bed is so comfortable…the bedrooms are like hotel rooms! It is also in a perfect location for visiting the surrounding area and not far from the many beautiful beaches.

This is a lovely, stylish, tucked away cottage which is perfect for relaxing and as a base to explore both the Borders and the Northumberland coast. Perfectly equipped and lacking nothing! We loved the garden which made me feel like I was in a woodland glade! A lovely, relaxing place to stay with an excellent pub at the end of the road! Loved it. ##### Suzanne C.

Jan 8, 2017 #### Stunning Cottage Stayed at this cottage between Christmas & new year instantly felt at home, the cottage had everything we needed & was comfortable & warm, all of the room are very well decorated & spotlessly clean, would stay here again & definitely recommend for a relaxing stay in the Scottish Borders. Also the welcome pack that Lowry left for us was very thoughtful & contained some great items, such a lovely touch thanks again. ##### David M.

Bliss! Immaculately clean, excellent facilities, plenty to watch/read/ browse through and the main bedroom is a huge dream of a room. Very useful welcome pack and extremely well-equipped place. Could have stayed much, much longer, especially the dog who adored the garden, and next doors also! Would definitely want to return but please fix the bathroom door which always required a hefty boot to close it. Otherwise, most certainly will recommend it. Thank you Lowrie.

Sep 18, 2016 #### Lovely cottage in a peaceful yet central location Just returned from a wonderful holiday at Greenloaning. It is a lovely cottage that is full of character and very homely with everything you could possibly need. The garden is brilliant, very spacious, private and incredibly relaxing. There are lots of interesting places to visit locally such as the beautiful Coldingham Bay, St Abbs ( which had great crabbing!), Paxton House, Chain Bridge Honey Farm which has a great little cafe in an old double decker bus. Edinburgh is less than an hour away and the lovely seaside town of North Berwick is also worth a visit and of course Bamburgh and Holy Island are stunning. It was always a pleasure to return to the peacefulness of Greenloaning at the end of the day. Lowri was very helpful and the welcome hamper was much appreciated. Look forward to returning again. ##### Lyndsay G. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra B. Oct 2, 2016 #### Gorgeous, homely cottage. My husband and I stayed in this lovely cottage of Lowri's for a week in June. We were over from New Zealand visiting family and were very unlucky with the weather during our stay, but felt very fortunate to be staying at this gorgeous warm cottage. As soon as we walked through the door it felt like home away from home, such a lovely welcoming feel. The cottage has a fantastic kitchen, with everything you could need for a couple or a family staying with simple things like plenty dishwashing liquid and washing powder, so we did not have to dash out and buy these basic provisions. The sitting room area is so homely, comfortable furniture to relax in by the warmth of the woodburner. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable and it was very handy having a toilet and washbasin linked to this room - again with the basic provisions provided of soap and toilet rolls. The cottage has a lovely big garden, so would be perfect for a family. We enjoyed the pub in Allanton within walking distance of the cottage - a great selection of gins! Allanton is well located in the Borders for driving to places such as Holy Island, Berwick Upon Tweed and Kelso. We will certainly be recommending your cottage Lowri to any friends that may be visiting the Borders from New Zealand and we would love to return sometime. Thank you! ##### Sandra B.

Tucked away and bordered by fields. The enclosed (huge) secure garden was heaven for our two little terriers who loved exploring all the nooks and crannies. The bed was so comfortable and we slept so well. Everything you needed was provided. Lowri left us a lovely welcome pack that was most appreciated after our long drive.

Within 15 miles you hit gorgeous,Sandy beach that we were blessed with weather to visit every day. Many places to visit and would recommend Paxton House for the day as lovely walks and gardens. Will definitely visit again and can’t recommend enough. Due to covid owner had to replace washing machine with dishwasher. Not there fault, however we did miss the use of one when staying a week, with kids and beach visits, walks etc. This didn’t put us off however would probably stay for a shorter period in future if covid continues to cause issues for owners of residences where there is only room for one appliance. Totally recommend as the cottage is beautiful, homely and very clean. ##### Raymond S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles L.
