Old Mill Cottage

"This was a special place made all the better by two really lovely owners. The house was immaculate in the most gorgeous grounds. We would love to return in springtime."

"I can confirm that Old Mill Cottage was a superb find. It was ideal for touring The Borders and Northumberland Coast.

The property and grounds were immaculate.

This was the 3rd cottage that we have booked via Crabtree & Crabtree and they have all been of a 5 Star standard.

We will certainly use Crabtree & Crabtree again and may well re-book Old Mill Cottage when we return to The Borders."

"This was a lovely cottage, clean and well presented. The area was lovely and convenient for visiting other towns and attractions. I would recommend Crabtree and Crabtree and this holiday property!"

"Old Mill Cottage had everything I was looking for: peace, privacy and comfort in beautiful surroundings. As well as being spotlessly clean and very well equipped, the high quality furnishings and harmonious decor all contributed to the tranquil environment in which I was able to focus my energies on a crucial stage of my music project. The bed and luxurious linens ensured a very good night’s sleep and the towels were fresh and of very high quality.The garden and the river added so much to my enjoyment of the Cottage. Its location also means that on a clear night the sky reveals its stellar wonders for awe inspiring stargazing.Altogether an unforgettable week’s retreat. I had high expectations of the cottage. They were all exceeded by the the thought and attention to detail that the owners, Jennie and Colin, have given to their property in consideration of their guests’ quality of experience. I look forward to returning to Old Mill Cottage with my wife very soon."

"Just a quick thank you for your perfect and easy service. It was a pleasure to rent via your company. From start to end, it was perfectly organised and we will happily recommend you! The Old Mill Cottage was a wonderful and perfect place for us to stay. It has everything you would ask for and is beautifully furnished and decorated and super equipped with everything you need. The owners are wonderful hosts and not only gave us valuable tips to do and see in the area, they also provided a lovely welcome basket with a yummy cake, shortbread etc. Their tips for fly fishing and walks in the area were great and much appreciated. The Old Mill Cottage is a true find and can be recommended without hesitation."

"The week at Old Mill Cottage was absolutely perfect. What a beautiful cottage and utterly fantastic garden set in the most stunning scenery and tranquil surroundings. The owners were so kind and welcoming and we felt totally comfortable throughout our stay there. There was a melt in your mouth Victoria sandwich cake awaiting us on arrival and I enjoyed coffee and croissants provided in the welcome pack sitting out in the garden each morning with only 'what shall we do today' to think about! Only wish it could have been longer....it was perfect."

"We had an absolutely amazing time, and my husband and I are already discussing returning next year. There is nothing the owners could do to improve the property. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, decorated and furnished to an incredibly high standard and was absolutely spotless. The welcome basket and cake was also excellent, and very well appreciated! We've stayed in lots of cottages over the years, and this was by far the best. We were lucky enough to meet the owners whilst we were there and they were so accommodating and friendly. In addition, I've found dealing with yourselves at Crabtree & Crabtree very impressive. My queries were answered promptly and the information provided about the property and surrounding area proved invaluable. We will definitely be booking through you again."

"We had a lovely holiday thanks to you. The cottage is amazing and the games and books are great! The countryside and views are spectacular and we had some nice family walks. Our stay was very relaxing and we had a lovely time."

"It is a beautiful cottage - cosy, warm and well equipped. Having never been to this area before, we have loved our stay and intend to come back to explore further. Many thanks for making it special."

"Thank you for such a fantastic stay. The cottage is perfect, just what you need for a relaxing stay. The welcome basket and delicious cake were very much appreciated. Everything has been thought of to make our stay as relaxing as possible. The area is beautiful - thank you for letting us share it with you."

"Thank you for such a warm welcome to this lovely cottage. We have had a wonderful two weeks of rest and relaxation. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay - with cake! Ideally situated with plenty of places to visit. Lovely scenery and quiet roads." 

"We had a wonderful stay in your lovely cottage, a real home from home. We were lucky to have such good weather and particularly enjoyed sitting out in the garden watching the wildlife. The Borders are truly Scotland's best kept secret. We have loved discovering the historic sights and walking in the countryside."

"Congratulations to our hosts on Old Mill Cottage. A perfect retreat in the Scottish Borders county. The cottage is extremely well appointed. The welcome we received was first class and the attention to detail was much appreciated. We would highly recommend."

"Got the peace and quiet that we wanted and in a gorgeous cottage in beautiful surroundings."

"Fantastic cottage, relaxing and cosy. Great base for exploring all that the Borders has to offer. Lovely surprise basket of goodies on arrival. My three children are already asking when can we come back! Great holiday!"

"My self and my wife have frequently over the years rented accommodation when on short breaks around the UK and to be fair most are good to fine, however we have to say that this is our first experience of Crabtree and Crabtree. I don’t know whether we were just lucky in booking Old Mill Cottage but from the quality and location of the cottage to the kindness and decency of our hosts we have to say that our break was perfect. If we are able to visit the Borders again, we shall be return customers. Please let the owners know pleased we were to not only stay, but to meet them also.To all at Crabtree & Crabtree, in respect of your booking procedure and follow up email. Great job guys, it was a pleasure doing business with you."

"The owners were tremendous hosts, the cottage was fantastic and we had a wonderful time. Being able to walk from the cottage was exactly what we were after and the quality of the premises was exactly what we were hoping it would be. Thank you for a great holiday. We shall certainly be looking at your site for holidays in the future."
