Great location
Really nice old cottage style property very close to the beach at St Abbs. Fantastic for beach stay. Property had everything we needed for a longish stay. Hosts responsive and everything worked well. Only things to be aware of are the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms 2 & 3 are quite steep (as they were built at that time) so might not suit the elderly.

We were with 4 persons for a week in your House in St. Abbs and all was very well for us. The kitchen is a Little Bit small, but for a week it was no Problem. The people are very friendly and the coastal path to the North or to the south to Eyemouth very interesting. Hagen and family

About the host

Host profile image
I live in Edinburgh with my husband. We have had this cottage for over 25 years. Our children loved summer holidays spent here when young and they still return with friends.
My husband was brought to St Abbs for his childhood summers in the 1960s and 1970s and his mother came as a child in the 1930s.
It is a timeless place which draws you back again and again.
