Whiteburn Cottage,
Near Dunbar,
Berwickshire

Sleeping 4

Whiteburn Cottage is a traditional, detached, timber-clad stone farm cottage - well-appointed and comfortably furnished, with a light airy sitting-room and a kitchen with breakfast-bar which overlooks the enclosed garden (furniture) standing on its own in the rich farming country of Scotland's south-east corner some 20 miles north of Berwick-on-Tweed and 11 miles south of Dunbar. At the side of a tarmac farm road (easily accessible from the A1) it has a peaceful setting in a vast green countryside which has sweeping views of the distant Lammermuir Hill, but is not far from from the excellent sandy beach of Coldingham; the RSPB sanctuary at St Abbs Head which is a must for nature-lovers, and the romantic ruin of Fast Castle which has history oozing from its every stone.

On the farm nearby there is 4x4 and quad bike hire (with tuition) for adults and children over 6; there is a restaurant at nearby Abbey St Bathans (2 miles); a pub at Grantshouse (5 miles); shops and hotels in Duns (9 miles); and all the attractions of Edinburgh within one hour's drive. Around Dunbar there are several excellent golf-courses; Berwick upon Tweed - much fought over by England and Scotland throughout the Middle Ages - is well worth a visit, and there are many stately homes of which the nearest are the elegant Paxton House and Ayton Castle.

Heating is by gas-CH, electricity (included), and open-fire. Bed linen are included and towels are available for hire. Pets are welcome by arrangement. Smoking is not permitted within the cottage.
