About this property

Fairlaw Garden Cottage

This comfortable, light and extremely spacious detached ‘upside-down’ house is set on a working farm in beautiful countryside.. Situated in an area with minimal light pollution and benefitting from starry night’s skies and peaceful surroundings, which you can enjoy from the lovely garden, Fairlaw Garden Cottage offers cosy, family accommodation with easy access to Northumberland, Berwick-upon-Tweed and an array of activities available throughout the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh and Lothian.
Alnwick Castle and Gardens is situated south of the property whilst Edinburgh is easily reached to the north, perfect for an action packed day out. Fairlaw Garden Cottage is also located just a few miles from the spectacular beaches and coastlines of south east Scotland, including Coldingham Bay and St Abb’s, offering spectacular surfing and bird watching. The surrounding countryside offers fabulous walking opportunities with Southern Upland Way and St Cuthbert’s Way, to name few. For keen golfers, Eyemouth, Dunbar, Goswick and the courses of East Lothian are within easy striking distance.
Fairlaw Garden Cottage is situated next to a working farm surrounded by rolling countryside. This detached former dairy building has been converted into an excellent base for families or small groups seeking a peaceful haven for relaxing and unwinding. The cottage itself has been set out in an ‘upside-down’ style to take the full advantage of the views towards the Cheviot Hills and the coast.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting. Has everything you need. Comfy beds. Well thought out for visiting children - bathroom locks are high up out of reach of small children, night lights are provided. Great space outside to run around too. Had some lovely days out at Coldingham Sands and St Abbs head. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely comfortable cottage with plenty of space for family catch-up.

Lovely comfortable cottage with plenty of space for family catch-up. Rural location which might not suit everyone but we really liked it. Peaceful and plenty of parking and close to amenities. Not far to drive to Lindisfarne, Bamburgh, Seahouses, Berwick etc. Jim Clark Museum very close - just down the road at Duns.

A nice cottage located in a lovely setting.

A nice cottage located in a lovely setting. Found the upstairs/bedrooms a little unusual as it was 'upside down' - with having a little mobility problems, this wasn't completely satisfying.
