Cottage vacation rentals in Duns

Had such a lovely stay at Ashley & Simon's cottage. Me and my boyfriend felt right at home as soon as we got there and both hosts were so friendly from the get go. The decor was stunning and so homely - loved the artwork in the bedroom! Everything we needed was already equipped in the cottage. The bed was SUPER comfy and the hot tub was a great way to end our little week away 😍🛀 Would definitely stay here again if ever in Kelso! Highly recommend! ⭐️

Probably the best Air B&B we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a lot! Fabulous scenery with wildlife outside your door. Welcome pack included roses, wine and the best home made lemon drizzle cake we’ve ever tasted. Unfortunately we had to leave a couple of days early due to my health, but we will be back at some stage, that’s for sure.

Honeymug provided the perfect backdrop for our group of six meeting up to reminisce about college days forty odd years ago! The cottage was comfortable and cosy and the welcome basket of goodies was indeed most welcome! Very comfortable beds to sleep off the long, coastal walks and swims in the indoor pool. We ate in The Bosk on our last evening and enjoyed it very much, having sampled the Friday evening pizzas too! Everyone was a fan of the outdoor jacuzzi, which we booked each evening and whirled away an hour chatting to the various local members we shared it with! Everyone was so friendly and we learned a lot about the area. Highlights were our boat trip to Inner Farne, an afternoon with the Chillingham cattle, and a day spent on the beautiful and peaceful Lindisfarne. We left feeling there was so much else to discover and we'll hope to be back to do just that! Many thanks John!

Fantastic stay in a beautiful location- everything as described and an incredible view! Will definitely return

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

Ivy Cottage was just as it was described. We took advantage of the hot tub too. It was a great base to travel and walk to other places. Marie was very approachable and so helpful, she contacted us before the visit and was responsive to all questions. We didn’t need to contact her during our stay as everything was perfect and all instructions were clear and information was left for us to take advantage of. Perfect stay in a great place!!!

Fabulous! We had 6 days at the Old Piggery and thoroughly enjoyed it. The hosts are brilliant and the accommodation equally brilliant too. Peaceful location, well kept gardens, lovely hot tub and there was everything we needed at the accommodation. The hosts also left us some lovely surprises/treats too. Very thoughtful! We enjoyed it so much we didn't want to come home and we will be back again in future. Thank you Sue and Phil!

We had a fantastic time at The Stables celebrating our rescue greyhound’s fifth birthday - she got to run around happily in the enclosed garden whilst we enjoyed our complimentary Prosecco in the hot tub!Secluded location, relaxing and everything you could need thought of by Paul & Fiona. Highly recommend!

A very clean and cozy cottage in a beautiful area. There are some things that don't come across in the listing: the views out the windows are of beautiful rolling farmland with many windmills in the distance; the drive up to the cottage from the main road is again through beautiful rolling hills with views of the ocean; behind the cottage is a large hillside with grazing sheep. In general the setting was much nicer than I expected. Comfortable beds, nice heavy duvets, very quiet, clean updated bathroom. Our kids loved it too. All together a very nice, relaxing place, close to many beaches and quaint seaside towns.

Great stay in Philippa’s place, very cosy and set out in the countryside. Would definitely come back for some quiet time.

What a great place to stay, really peaceful yet easy to reach the places we wanted to see, but definitely need a car for this. Ian and Felicity were really helpful with local knowledge and the accommodation had a lot of information about where to visit. Really happy to recommend this, was anything lacking? Definitely not.

Stayed here for our annual friends trip. We are both history nuts so went to Linlithgow Palace, Edinburgh Castle and town, Palace of Holyrood and Roslin Chapel which were all less than an hours drive from the airb&b. Will & Henrietta’s place is beautiful, set on the estate with the old brickwork. It’s a lovely mix of modern with vintage charm inside. The conservatory was my favourite place especially for my morning coffee and was a great retreat once we got back from a busy day out. Everything was clean and tidy with instructions where necessary. Unfortunately, didn’t get to meet our hosts but they were on hand for anything we needed. We arrived very late at night as drove from North London so found it a little difficult to find, however this was mainly down to it being dark. Have suggested for instructions to be provided in case of anyone else coming late at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it felt very homely and was the peaceful escape we both needed.

We were three adults, retirement age, in the Borders for the Melrose Sevens Rugby tournament, and stayed 6 nights. Dairy Cottage was a really excellent choice of accommodation, equipped with everything we could need, and really comfortable. The setting - in the grounds of an estate with a "grand house" - was delightful: green woodland with what seems like miles of paths and loops for limitless choices of walks. The gardens are really well-kept and tended, and the lake is beautiful. No doubt it is a great habitat for all sorts of wildlife, and indeed I have never heard such LOUD and varied birdsong! It's a very short walk (typically 6 minutes for me) into Selkirk town, where we patronised 5 different places for evening meals, all of which were very good. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thankyou Michelle and your fellow Trustees for caring for this lovely place.

This was an excellent choice of accommodation and was very handy for Kelso. I am travelling with my parents this time and we really appreciated the quality of the beds, the linen and everything about Georgie’s cottage. Will definitely look to return.

Very beautiful place to stay! The kitchen gave us inspiration for our own home and the bathroom was lovely. All around a very pretty home. Annie was very responsive and gave us some helpful suggestions on what to do during our stay. Also, if you like cows you may get to see a large herd of them right behind the rental! There’s a large sloped field that rises up behind the house and we enjoyed watching the cows come and go during our stay.

A beautiful location and lovely place to stay. Very peaceful with lots of walks straight from the door. Beautiful fresh flowers from the garden in every room was a lovely touch as was the delicious lemon drizzle cake left for us. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we required for a home from Home stay. Friendly and helpful hosts who left us to our own devices but there if needed. A most amazing location, we’ll definitely be back

The Smithy is the perfect home from home. Quaint, cosy and comfortable. Good location for visiting the area, including Edinburgh.

We had a great stay at Signal House. It is an a calm, peaceful and beautifully furnished cottage. Close to all the sites, groceries and restaurants. If you are fine with stairs (stairs up from the street and stairs from the kitchen and bedroom to the sitting area and patio) this cottage worth the extra money. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in. The bed is comfy. The view of the castle from the sitting room and patio is truly stunning. We highly recommend Signal House!

Beautiful cottage. V clean and very well equipped. V peaceful location. Large kitchen. Road has many potholes but we were forewarned. I would recommend for a quiet break with easy access to many attractions.

Great stay with magnificent country surrounding us with easy accessibility to walks, ocean beaches and history of the border region. After busy days it was nice to come back to Berry Hill cottage and relax in peace and quiet. I would highly recommend this cottage. Our hosts respected privacy and promptly answered any messages.

Beautiful accommodation in the lush countryside an easy 15 minute drive into Alnwick. Helen (host) was very welcoming and the goodies waiting for us in the kitchen on our arrival was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay again if we were in the Alnwick area. Thanks Helen!

Loved our stay at middle cottage. We were on a golfing trip and Gullane, North Berwick and Kilspindie were all less than 20 minutes drive. Location was superb on the edge of East Linton village. Furnishings and linens were great! We felt right at home. It is clear Jan and Bryan have gone to a lot of trouble to welcome their guests. We were very comfortable despite the disappointing weather. (Sadly too inclement to enjoy the garden). The TPE train from East Linton to Edinburgh takes only 18 or 19 minutes which is so much quicker than driving.

We had a wonderful stay at penguin cottage. Absolutely beautiful location, perfect for those who want more privacy/quiet surroundings. The cottage was cleaned to a very high standard, had all the needed facilities, and we very much appreciated Laura providing milk, shortbread, coffee etc. Would happily stay again.

Beautifully appointed cottage in the lovely Warkworth. Very comfortable and great to have 2 en suite bedrooms. Well located to the village, walking distance to Amble and ideal for our Coastal walk to Craster with bus back! A perfect weekend!
