Gardener's Cottage

"We loved the cottage and had a great time. Can't speak highly enough of the idyllic location, facilities and how comfortable and cosy it was. Booking was all very easy and straightforward too, so thank you for helping us have such a relaxing break!"

"We had another fantastic stay (our third) at Garden Cottage. We love the peace and quiet and feeling of being ‘away from it all’ but close enough to activities and facilities when desired. The local deer and hares put in a few appearances around the cottage, we watched as an owl swooped down on his breakfast, but unlike our last visit, the otter was a no show.The weather was a real bonus after the recent deluges and we easily managed to get out and about every day. We returned to some favourite walks, such as the Eildon Hills and the monument at Harestanes, but we also explored further afield and visited the delightful Berwick Upon Tweed and St Abb’s Head. Garden Cottage is a lovely base for the beautiful Borders, there is still so much we haven’t yet seen and done in the area, we are sure we will want to return. Fiona always makes us feel welcome and comfortably at ease and we thank her for her welcome gifts. Thank you for making the whole process smooth and stress free.We have no hesitation in recommending both Garden Cottage and Crabtree and Crabtree. Indeed, we already have recommended your company to friends, who have their first booking with you this coming June!"

"We had a fantastic time thank you and would strongly recommend both the Hoscote Estate and the Gardener's Cottage.  Beautiful, well appointed cottage in a fantastic setting. The Property Manager/Housekeeper was lovely."

"We'd just like to say how fantastic our stay was at Gardener's Cottage - the location is perfect for those who want to escape mobile phones, iPads, WiFi and anything else that demands constant attention!! The cottage has all you could hope for and was beautifully clean and very well presented on our arrival - thanks very much for the eggs & milk - much appreciated. The area around Roberton is breathtaking with some wonderfully remote and beautiful 'side' roads leading into Hawick from either the North or the South and well worth an explore. We weren't able to delve into the woodland around the cottage as there were ground nesting birds but the area around the main paths gave many delightful sightings of red squirrels and hares - which was great. Many thanks indeed - we very much look forward to visiting Gardener's Cottage again sometime soon."

"We had a lovely time at Gardener's Cottage. The cottage itself is beautifully refurbished and very clean. The location is stunning with wildlife right outside the windows. Walks around the estate and local area were wonderful. The housekeeper made us and our dog very welcome. Eggs from the estate were a lovely touch. We would love to return."

"Just to let you know that my family and I had a wonderful week staying at Gardener's Cottage, which is delightful and in a beautiful setting. The owners and all the staff, that we met on the estate, could not me more helpful, especially Julie, who looks after the cottage so well​."

"We absolutely loved spending the week at Gardener's Cottage. It was furnished to a high standard and felt like luxury. It was one of the best cottages we had stayed it! It was so nice and relaxing to be in the middle of nowhere and have no phone signal, perfect for relaxation and feeling refreshed. The owners were great and very friendly - went over and above in sorting the BBQ out for us. All in all is was excellent. Would definitely recommend and go again!"

"We had a lovely stay at Gardener's Cottage which started with a warm welcome and a nice surprise as a Christmas tree was provided to put us in the festive mood. The accommodation was clean, bright and modern and we instantly felt at home. It would be difficult to fault anything and we would consider staying again in the future as it is an area that we do not really know but we found it to be beautiful and we would like to have a chance to explore more in the better weather."

"Gardener's Cottage on the Hoscote Estate was wonderful. The cottage was perfect and the housekeepers couldn't have been more helpful. The kettle wasn't working when we arrived and they went into Hawick that evening and returned with a new one! They also let us use one of the fields for exercising our dog off lead which was fantastic. Comfortable beds and loads of hot water. Lovely walks around the estate and lots of wildlife to see. Probably the best thing from our point of view was that there was no phone signal or wi-fi - bliss."

"The cottage was delightful, beautifully presented, very clean and well equipped. We arrived to a warm welcome from the estate manager, and a warmer welcome in the cottage itself. We received fresh eggs from the estate hens which was very pleasant. The estate has some lovely walks and views and the abundant nut boxes around the site encouraged many red squirrels and assorted birds. Ideal for photography. We look forward to returning at some point in the future. Thank you for the streamlined booking system and clear arrival instructions."

"Thank you for a truly wonderful week. We arrived to a beautifully clean cottage set within an amazing estate with breathtaking views. The children loved exploring in the woods and meeting all the farm animals. Although the property was secluded, it didn't take long to travel further afield to visit Scotland. We would thoroughly recommend Gardener's Cottage. Also, the whole booking process was made very easy and pleasant, thanks to the wonderful people at Crabtree and Crabtree Lettings. Thank you." 

"Thank you for another lovely holiday - we all thoroughly enjoyed both cottages - they were done out beautifully. I would like to thank all at Crabtree & Crabtree for all your help in booking the cottages, I have found your company one of the best to use when booking cottages in Scotland. This is the third time we have booked a cottage with you and I have recommended you to all my friends & family."
