June 2024
I booked this cottage for two reasons:
1. They took dogs
2. Disabled access.
This is where it fell down. The “ramp” into the property had a step of about 6 inches, the rear patio had a step of about 4 inches. I travel with someone who is permanently in a wheelchair and it is not a holiday if she can’t get in or out of the property, or I have to put ramps down.
Through the property:
- gravel from the car to the front door
- ramp with a six inch step
- ramp was loose and tipped up
- the “wet room” had no grab handles or pull down safety bars.
- the lounge had a clutter of furniture so a wheelchair user could not get to the kitchen.
- a wheelchair user can’t get out to the rear patio, if they could there is a drop of about 2 feet to yet more gravel, no railings
- there is a further vertical drop of about 15 feet to another part of the garden.
Basically I paid £££££ for something I did not get and it did ruin the holiday, not just for the wheelchair user, but for her carer (me) who had to work trying to resolve this issues for her.
Positives:
- Good location
- Clean

Tip: The property was good _if_ you were abled bodied. My travelling companion is not, I chose this because of that. Holiday ruined.
- Ryan (10/5): We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. - We had a great 3 night stay, the weather stayed dry and the walks with the dog were wonderful. The house came with a well equipped kitchen, the beds were comfortable and very clean. The wifi connection was great we managed to connect easily. The log burner made the room lovely and cozy, a beautiful feature. Nothing, we had a great time and it was beyond our expectations.
- Anonymous (10/5): A lovely relaxing getaway - The cottage was stunning & so cosy. The kitchen/bathrooms were immaculate when we got there and were a great size. The grounds were lovely and tidy and we enjoyed walking around the farm with my dog and playing in the garden looking at some beautiful views. The owners were lovely and happy to help with any ‘issue’ we had…. We didn’t really have any complaints!! I was provided extensive information about the area/pubs/day trips etc which made planning our holiday so easy! The welcome basket was a lovely touch as well. Only complaint is that we only booked 3 nights!
- Nick (9/5): Superb - The views - which are breathtaking; the Hammocks 😊; the cottage itself, so clean and tidy and comfortable - the welcome gifts, (especially the Porridge, to which I am now addicted); the peace and quiet - it is such a tranquil place; It is the perfect location for a base to travel round the Borders - which is what we did. If I was being ultra picky (I.e . purely for the purpose of this survey) - the wooden steps down to the bottom level of the garden, where the hammocks are. My wife and pensioner in-laws took one look at them and thought the foliage on either side was too over grown. This made the Handrail difficult to use, as it was cover in brambles. The steps were a little too steep for them, and after some rain, a little too slippery. I did a 'wee spot' of pruning and couldn't keep off the hammocks - but was always on my own. 😄
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Judith (9/5): Superb - It felt very spacious, and had everything we could need. Before we went we received a very helpful email with lots of information about the area. Maggie and Archie were very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely relaxing break that was sadly not long enough. We didn't have any issues, we were happy with everything.
- Catherine (9/5): Superb -
