From the owner

Old Linthill is a large holiday house in the Scottish Borders that sleeps 8-10 people. Located one mile West of the picturesque fishing port of Eyemouth, the secluded seventeenth century Scottish tower house is perched on a hillside in the centre of a beautiful small estate with two rivers and woodland walks.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor plus a ground floor bedroom with additional king-size bed giving accommodation for up to 10 guests in comfort. Two of the bathrooms are on the first floor and there is a shower room/WC on the ground floor.

The ground floor bedroom and bathroom may appeal to guests who are not keen on stairs, although it should be noted that there is a short flight of steps to the front door of the property.

There is a large comfortable sitting room with open fire and large flat-screen television, beautiful wood-paneled dining room and a well-equipped kitchen.

Owner's reply:
We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Old Linthill is a very special house and this is a lovely area to explore the local coastline, countryside and historic properties. There are a number of curtained-off and locked doors in the house that are 'back of house' areas where spare fittings and furnishing replacements are kept. Guests do not usually poke around in these areas but I will pass on your comments to housekeeping staff. All lightbulbs were working before check-in so we can only apologise if some blew during your stay. If you had told us we could have brought along replacements. We were interested to hear about the bath. We have not had any mention of this before and there is an enormous hot water tank at the property but it is conceiveable that if many people tried to have baths in succession that some reheat time might be needed.
