About the home
The cottage has been beautifully modernised but still has many original features, such as beamed ceilings and beautiful fireplaces, with original varnished floorboards in the upstairs rooms.
The entrance hall opens to the lovely bright sitting room with open staircase and leads through to the beautiful dining room and well-appointed kitchen which features fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, cooker (gas hob, electric oven) and Nespresso coffee maker. The kitchen provides access to an outside courtyard and gate.
The lounge has 32 inch flat-screen LG television with DVD player and there is a stereo system in the dining room.
To the front of the cottage there is a lovely garden with sitting out area and water feature, offering beautiful views of the Cheviot Hills. There is off-road parking for two cars.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, one double and one twin, both beautifully decorated with more than adequate storage space. The master bedroom has views to the front and two windows to the side with double wardrobe hanging space.

The Scottish Borders region
The Scottish Borders cover an area of about 1800 square miles, stretching from rolling hills and moorland in the west, through gentle valleys to the agricultural plains of the east, and on to the rocky Berwickshire coast with secluded coves and pretty fishing villages.
Westmost Cottage is within easy reach of Edinburgh, the vibrant, cosmopolitan capital of Scotland. A regular train service operates from Berwick railway station a short drive away. Alternatively, you can drive directly to Edinburgh in less than an hour.
The Coldstream area
Westmost Cottage is situated in Coldstream, an attractive small town located on the river Tweed which is the natural boundary between Scotland and England, and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Borders. Because of this location, Coldstream, known as "the first true border toon", once rivalled Gretna for runaway marriages. The old Marriage House, located just on the Scottish side of the border, is still used for weddings and civil partnerships. The town is best known as the birthplace of the Coldstream Guards.
Coldstream has a wide variety of shops, including a Co-op supermarket, post office, newsagents, pharmacy and several hairdressers.
On the western outskirts of the town, a few minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot from Westmost Cottage, is the lovely Hirsel Estate, seat of the Earls of Home. Although the house itself is not open to the public, there is plenty to see and do with country walks, craft centre, children's play area and a tearoom. Dundock Woods, in the grounds of the Hirsel, is well known for its beautiful spring displays of rhododendrons and azaleas.

The cottage has everything you need and more. It is furnished with excellent quality furniture and beautiful extra home furnishing touches. It is really convenient being close enough to walk in to Coldstream and there are many short walks you can do from the house. We explored the whole region from there - up to Edinburgh and down to Alnwick. Thank you - all of us had a great stay. |

We stay in rental properties at least 4 times a year, both at home and abroad, and including 5 star 'luxury' homes. Westmost Cottage is definitely one of the best. Iain and Nigel go the... more |
