Perfect
By Anonymous on 26-May-2025The cottage was perfect in everyway - well stocked with everthing you could need. The gardens are stunning and along with perfect weather, we couldn't have asked for more.
Peaceful & comfortable
By Anonymous on 10-Apr-2025We enjoyed our stay very much. Peaceful. You seem to have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Nice touches with the flowers, bathroom soap, bird feeders which we loved to watch the birds on. Ordnance Survey map useful. Thankyou
Peaceful & well equipped
By Shelly Evans on 14-Mar-2025We stayed a Burnbrae over a weekend. It is a beautiful place; very peaceful, with lovely views and walks from the house. The cottage is homely, spotlessly clean, with a well equipped kitchen. We slept so well, as the bed was so comfortable. We will definitely return.
Excellent base for walkers & cyclists
By Andrea on 20-May-2024Our third visit to Burnbrae and as on previous occasions the accommodation was excellent, immaculate presentation, everything you could possibly need, including a lovely welcome tray with homemade baking. An ideal location for anyone staying in the Scottish Boarders either to relax or to enjoy the great walking and cycling opportunities the area has to offer Yvette is a first class host, nothing is too much trouble and is able to provide lots of information on the area.
No country cottage was ever like this.
By Doug S on 29-Jun-2024Just a wonderful place to be in, peaceful comfortable accommodation, my wife & I could have sat in the conservatory and watched the birds all day long, house martins, woodpeckers, siskins, they were so close you could almost touch them. So many places to visit, truly a very memorable holiday.
