About this property

Luxury Stone Built Cottages With Panoramic Views Across Berwickshire

Set in a prominent position in the Berwickshire countryside, only a mile and a half from the town of Duns. Our cottages have magnificent, uninterrupted panoramic views South to the Cheviot Hills and East to Berwick and beyond into Northumberland on the East Coast. Hardens Country Cottages are part of a pretty row of recently restored cottages with listed building status. They have been thoughtfully restored to retain original character but with the benefit of contemporary comforts. Both April and May cottages are suitable for a range of holidays due to the spacious layout and generous proportions of the rooms. This would make them ideal for families and group bookings. Of course they are also suitable for a cosy holiday for those who would like a relaxing break in front of a wood-burning stove. Good local shopping, pubs and restaurants are in the market town of Duns, 2 miles, and regular farmers markets in picturesque Kelso, 19 miles and Berwick 14 miles. Duns golf course is a 5-minute walk and there is good fishing nearby on Whittadder water or on the famous River Tweed. Shooting and stalking can be arranged. Hill walking in Lammermuirs or Cheviots, cycling on quiet roads. Visit St Abbs Head to see nesting sea birds in the spring, Coldingham for a lovely sandy beach or take a boat trip to Holy Island and the Farne Islands from Seahouses. Edinburgh is a scenic drive or 40 minutes by train from Berwick. Shop and pubs 2 miles. Both April and May cottages sleep 6 and the beds (zip-n-link) can be made up to suit allowing flexibility for your booking.

Amazing time!
We recently stayed at May Cottage and it was just what we needed. The cottage is lovely and much bigger than we anticipated, especially the bedrooms - they’re a really big! Kitchen has everything you need and even though we had taken hand wash and washing up liquid etc, it was all provided. Even dishwasher tablets! The views from the garden are exceptional and it was very quiet. We loved sitting watching the families of swallows flying in and out of their nests and listening their babies chirping away. Cathy was the perfect host and made life very easy, with great communication from the off. She went out of her way to ensure we were well looked after at all times and was on hand should we have any questions. Duns is a lovely little village and we enjoyed eating out in many of the dog friendly pubs in and around the area. Thank you Cathy!

Excellent property, landlady, location
Beautiful property and spectacular views, the photos on the web site don't begin to highlight how wonderful this place is. Spacious bedrooms, well-stocked kitchen and utility area, cosy living area with fireplace and lots of comfort. Incredible views and space. And just a short drive from Duns and so many other beautiful places to visit along the Borders within an easy drive. If you love countryside, peace, quiet, comfort, cleanliness and a warm welcome this is a perfect cottage to stay in. Thank you, Cathy, for having us!!!

Wow what a fantastic place. The property was beautiful and the surroundings where so picturesque. Only problem was I thought we had booked the cottage with the hot tub so check when you're booking as that was in the cottage next door. However we will definately book again x

Relaxing stay
We had a lovely few days at the cottage and visiting local beaches. The weather was exceptional and the views from the back patio were stunning. The only slight annoyance was the lack of public footpaths near the property meant having to walk the dog on rural roads that were quite busy at harvest time. Also, the photos indicate a hot tub when only one of the properties has one. This should be made clearer but we had a lovely time nevertheless.
