This holiday cottage for 2 adults was very comfortable and cosy. There was everything needed for a self catering break. The pub just yards away was very good for having a meal. Berwick on Tweed was only 5/6 miles away with plenty of shops etc. Paxton is a very nice little village. ;We enjoyed a visit to Paxton Hall nearby. We will keep information on Border Holiday Cottages for future use.



Great little getaway for two

We loved this little gem tucked away off the A1 near Berwick on Tweed.
You have not got far to go to visit some
wonderful scenery like Coldingham bay
which is a must visit .
We would recommend Tweed Cottage to family and friends as a place to stay in the village of Paxton

Tweed cottage was very cosy. It is very well equipped a short walk to the local pub. The cottage was very convenient for visiting Paxton House and it's beautiful grounds. Berwick on Tweed is a short drive away and from there Edinburgh can easily be reached by train.

We had a lovely short break based in Tweed Cottage, which is very cosy, comfortable and ideally located to explore a beautiful area of the country. The owners were very helpful and provided a tasty welcome pack of local goodies. Great food pub a few minutes walk away was an added bonus.

Great place for a couple to explore the area. Very quiet with a car passing about once an hour and a bus 4 times a day, own transport essential! Car park is very close and almost in view of the front door. Hosts met us and gave all information needed which was a great help. Definitely consider returning as great value for a cottage.

Very good cottage with good facilities in a great location with friendly neighbours. Welcome pack much appreciated.
Only improvement would be to replace one of the chairs for use with the dining table as the seat was warped and not very comfortable.

So pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and took the time to leave a review. Thanks for telling us about the damage to the dining chair. Both have been replaced, of course.

contact from the owners at booking , before travel and on arrival was helpful and welcoming.
we enjoyed consuming the local produce provided in the welcome pack.
the cottage was cosy for two and contained all the facilities we required, we self-catered for breakfasts and some evening meals.
the local pub was welcoming and very handy although the menu was a bit limited for our taste.
we chose Paxton as a centre for exploring the Borders, coastline and Edinburgh ( by train from Berwick) and the location fulfilled our expectations.
would highly recommend a visit to Paxton House which is "on the doorstep"
we would stay again when we next visit the area.



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
Tweed Cottage is so fortunate in having Paxton House only minutes away. The walk to the River Tweed is easy and so peaceful - Paxton means Village of Peace. Thanks for the lovely review

We were looking for a cottage for three nights where we could take our young dog. We found Tweed Cottage and it was perfect. We were met by the owners who were very friendly and helpful and suggested places to visit and eat. The cottage was small but had everything we needed, including dog blankets and treats for us and the dog!! Great location for driving into Berwick and visiting local beaches. Would recommend Border Holiday Homes, and hope to re-visit sometime. Sue.

This is a small cottage with everything you need packed in, including a small dishwasher and washing machine. Electric fire in lounge and electric boiler for heating (we did not use the latter); lots of hot water and nice walk in shower. Owners were keen to be helpful and came over when we arrived just to welcome us. Nice welcome pack of local produce. Berwick on Tweed is close by for shopping, Tesco is 4 miles away with Morrisons slightly further. Cottage's off the road parking spot is close to the cottage. Lots of local walks and ideal situation for visiting the many local attractions (Farne Islands, Abbs Head, Heavy Horse Farm, Honey Farm, Duddo stone circle, Ford and Etal etc).

Cottage has been very well restored. The location is good for North or South access especially the coast. Short runs to excellent dog beaches. Not having a garden attached does bring some late night challenges if dog needs out. Would recommend it.

booked last minute , wanted somewhere in or near Berwick on Tweed ..
To our luck we found this cottage .
Absolutely perfect for what we needed as a couple. Clean , comfortable , lovely shower, peace and quiet and very near to the A1
Beautiful places to visit around within half hour drive and Berwick which is 10 mins away has great supermarkets .
4 days not long enough ,this area is a hidden gem if you like to get away from cities and. enjoy walks . Get a good map and see the area . Paxton house was such a l;ovely place to walk to from the cottage, lovely gardens down to the picturesque river Tweed and onto Chain Bridge . .
Strolling around Berwick just great , walking the Walls and taking in the sea view .
We would definitley like to come back

We enyoyed too the very good food in the restaurant of the only pub of the village. Paxton is a good place to visit easily the borders, the village is very quiet but very closed of the main roads.

This cottage is ideally situated to get to the Paxton House Music Festival, I walked there and back if the weather was fine but drove if there was rain. This was my second year the only slight flaw was the dishwasher was out of action so had to revert to hand washing - how terrible! ! I hope to be back next year.

Thanks for coming back for a second visit. The cottage is ideal for the lovely grounds and riverside walks at Paxton House. The dishwasher is now repaired!!

A lovely little cottage in a good location with a very friendly pub nearby.
Well thought out accomodation with everything you need fit amazingly into the compact space available. Very clean and comfortable and the welcome pack was a very nice touch. Lots to see and do within a short driving distance. The small garden would provide a nice spot to sit out on warm evenings if it were given some much needed attention and why does the bathroom sink need to be so high?



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for leaving your review. The garden has been sadly neglected with the rainy days we have had through July. I wonder if Alan Titchmarsh is available to help out. The sink is positioned at the standard height according to our plumber.

Tweed Cottage is a compact, cosy and very nicely appointed place to stay, ideal for a weekend away. The owners were very friendly and helpful, both before and during our stay. Paxton is a lovely village, the neighbours were pleasant when we met them walking outside, and supermarkets at Berwick are just a few miles away by car. We would happily book again with Border Holiday Homes.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Tweed Cottage. The owners are lovely people and Mr. Ward gave us some excellent tips for places to visit, as well as telling us the best places to walk the dog. The cottage is tiny but very comfortable and it had everything we needed for a long weekend, plus various locally-produced treats including beer, jam, eggs and soap. I was particularly glad of the soap as I forgot to pack shower gel. Another nice touch is that there is a cafetiere and ground coffee provided, something we really appreciated as neither of us drinks instant coffee. We found the cottage absolutely ideal for our needs, however it's worth noting that the stairs are narrow and quite steep, as you would expect in a Georgian cottage, and it might feel cramped if you were staying with a dog larger than a labrador. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and will definitely consider staying there again, or in one of the other properties, next time we visit the area.



John Ward replied more than 1 year ago
So glad you enjoyed your stay. 3 hundred year old farm workers cottage is a wee bit small by modern standards but we love it & enjoy staying there ourselves with our lab. who is much bigger than yours! The village itself helps by being dog friendly so do hope you'll come again.

Needed somewhere to stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary ( we did not have a honeymoon as we needed to get back to feed the chickens) and was struggling to find somewhere when this popped up. Although we have been regular visitors to the borders, we have never been to Paxton village but the cottage filled the need for me, my wife and the wee scabby dog (only joking, see Connoly D.I.V.O.R.C.E. ) for a short stay.
Well impressed with the cottage, and with a good pub / restaurant within staggering distance not to mention plenty of walks for the W. S. D. what more can you say. Liked the village, so much so that on the Monday morning we checked out the estate agents in Berwick. NOTHING.
Got me mega creep points with the wife especially as she got to go to Chirnside chippy for her battered haggis supper which we ate in the shadow of the Jim Clark memorial. Just for the record, I stuck to fish and chips.

This is a sweet little cottage 'made for two' and was ideal for our three night stay. The interior decor is tasteful and the area is very peaceful and relaxing with nice local walks. In addition it is a good base for exploring Northumberland plus only one hours drive to Edinburgh or 45 minutes by train from Berwick. As other reviews have previously mentioned the garden is not attached to the property which adds to the quirky charm of the place - however the garden is in need of a spruce up as the grassed area is more weed than lawn and the seating is very tired and in need of some tlc - otherwise its a pleasant space to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink. The food in the local Cross Inn was delicious and the property owners kindly offered to book us a table ahead of our stay which was great.



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. As you probably noticed we have replanted the small beds by the house and have resurfaced and widened the drive in order to provide a cycle shed. The grassed area has been reseesed but inevitably the old weeds push through first. When the grass is longer it can be cut and weed killer applied. All the new lavender plants should make a nice scented edge and I hope the various clematis will add colour. I agree the garden furniture need replacing. Do come again and you will receive a Returning Guest Discount at any of our properties

Excellent holiday cottage, one of the best we have enjoyed.

Comfortable, well equipped, easy to use therefore very relaxing. Carefully chosen furniture and fittings enhance the experience.
Warm and cozy, with a lovely welcome pack of locally sourced goodies ranging from eggs to soaps. Good parking and perfectly located for exploring the whole area and coastline. Good shopping in Berwick.

We enjoyed our stay at Tweed Cottage. Would recommend this cottage.eveything you need was there. The only slight downside was the garden wasn't attached to the cottage.



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
When you return to Tweed you will see the new driveway and the refurbished bedroom, and the new suite in the lounge. The garden will still be 25 yards away however - one of village cottages idiosynchronsies

happy holiday

Cracking little cottage in a great wee village. The village of Paxton is just far enough out of Berwick but not that far, with beautiful countryside all around. The cottage is compact witha clean modern interior, making it comfortable and cosy.
Lovely owners with a great manner. Would highly recommended staying.

did not know what quite to expect from the location, but have to say was not dissapointed. the cottage was compact, but had everything you could need for that much needed break. it was a little quirky, and that made it all the more interesting. and very homely. the local paxton estate and grounds is a real gem , and the walks along the tweed ( the chain bridge ) made exploring o
n foot a must. Berwick is the only real place for shops, but its only a short drive , or a couple of hours on foot along the river.

The cottage is small, but has everything needed. It was warm and comfortable for a February stay. Although there are no shops or amenities in Paxton it is only a short drive to Berwick for supplies. It is a shame the local pub is closed for refurbishment currently as this would have added to our enjoyment of the holiday. The parking space and garden being separate from the cottage is not ideal.



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for your review. We are really looking forward to our local pub reopening in April. They have engaged an excellent chef. The parking space is being resurfaced next week but it will still be 25 yards from the house!! one of the village idiosyncronies

Excellent accommodation and very well equipped. Ideal for a cosy weekend (or longer) break for two.

The owners contacted me to make sure everything was OK and even popped round to see me even though they had only just returned from their own travels. Unfortunately I was out, but it was a nice gesture anyway.

The cottage is very well equipped, and is lacking nothing that I can think of. It has been fitted out to a high standard and is immaculate

The parking space, which is further down the lane, could do with a "Tweed Cottage" sign. I arrived when it was very dark and raining and there are two spaces. I parked in the farthest one and hoped it was correct (it was).



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for your review and booking I am so glad that you like the cottage. You mad an excellent comment about the need for a sign by the parking space. I will arrange it asap

Lovely cosy cottage for a couple xmas stay!

Our only regret is not being able to stay for longer! Tweed Cottage has been thoughtfully renovated and is appointed with enough of all the right things we needed for our long weekend stay in the Borders and Northumberland. It was beautifully quiet in Paxton and surrounding area, but close enough to the A1 and other main roads to get places for days out. If you appreciate lovely old cottages and understand the simplicity of a compact space with a lovely bathroom, useful kitchen and comfy bed and living space, this is recommended.

It is only a 20 minute or so walk to Paxton House for the concerts, again all excellent. The accommodation suited me fine and I would like to book it again for next year if circumstances permit, short of living in Paxton House itself it could not be more convenient.

we arrived at the cottage and all was as it promised a welcome basket of local produce was welcome as well as the cleandliness of the cottage itself.every thing you need cooker dishwasher a microwave toaster and washing machine large screen tv and also one in the bedroom with wi fi included
Our dog made himself at home whilst unpacking took place ,a short drive into Berwick Approx 4 miles to local supermarkets Asda Tweedside or Tesco on the outskirts are easy to find too.
Paxton is a quiet village but at the moment is bereffed of a pub but I believe this will be remided soon
As a lovely touch the owner Christine finally caught up with us to say hello before we left as we were out every day touring so missed her but we did get a call on our first day hoping all was ok .
overall would we stay again that is a Yes



Christine replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for your very appreciative words. The work on the pub is expected to finish mid September. We have all missed the food and the real ale but there are some excellent pubs in nearby villages fortunately. Do come again.

Tweed cottage is beautiful. It's well appointed with every modern convenience you could wish for. Christine &John, the owners are on hand to help with any query you may have. It is close to the lovely town of Berwick on Tweed where there are a variety of shops. The scenery is beautiful. There is a local pub in the village which at the time of writing we haven't usef, but will probably do so before we continue our holiday. Tweed cottage is situated down a very small lane and it has its own parking space which is a bonus. Paxton is a pretty village, there are no shops though which isn't a problem because Berwick is so close. We have had a very relaxing few days here. It will be hard to tear ourselves away.

An excellent stay -

Owners could not have been more pleasant, helpful or welcoming:

The cottage is a credit to them - it is clean, tidy, well presented, and the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in, with copious quantities of towels, kitchenware and the like. The location is excellent, less than 10 minutes drive to the A1; and 15 minutes from Berwick, which has 3 x supermarkets, a fuel station and a large selection of shops, banks and a couple of cafes.

Other reviews state that the cottage is small, which it is, however we did not find this an issue at all during our week long stay, in fact the cottage was bigger than we had been expecting.

We visited lots of places in Northumbria and the Borders, and also did some cycling (Paxton is adjacent to national routes 1 and 76, and also the Tweedway. There is also a coastal path nearby for shorter or longer walks by the sea.

All in all, an excellent stay. We would certainly stay in this cottage again, and would wholheartedly recommend it to others.

No shops in the village, but Berwick not that far away with a number of supermarkets. A great area to stay with good beaches and Castles a plenty.

Thanks for your review. It is appreciated. It is a pity that the village shop has gone but ,as you say, it is only 3 miles to the full range of shops in Berick and only five miles to Chirnside. We do now have a mobile bank coming on a Tuesday so that's good.

cottage was ok but we were a bit disappointed in it
it needs decorated and updated in lounge area .
rest of cottage was fine .
except the smell of damp as you walked in to cottage
garden area not that good as it is away from cottage
parking area next to garden small and over grown
cars go up the lane past the cottage door fast
so if you have a dog or not you really need to be very careful
before you step out the door .
cottage was ok but not for us .

On arrival at cottage first impression was "this is really nice" lovely welcome basket with Scottish Fayre. Cottage has everything you require, also shower was "brilliant". Location excellent for beautiful beaches, woodland areas for dog walking. Places we visited were Berwick on Tweed, Holy Island, Seahouses, Bamburgh, Eyemouth which are all 10 to 30 away. Overall we had a lovely time with our dog and hope to return soon. Enjoyed our stay, many thanks.

Unfortunately our stay was cut short , due to being involved in a car accident.

We booked from Friday to Friday, but the accident happened on Tuesday.we then returned home.

The few days were at the cottage were very peaceful and enjoyable, weather was just starting to improve,
that was the day we went home.

The cottage was very nice indeed, every thing you required was supplied to a very good standard,
lovely size television if you were inclined to watch in the evenings. the shower was excellent , the best
we have seen in hired accomadation in fact.

We would recommend the holiday cottage to people we know.

Thank you both, Christine and John

It was very kind of you to take the time to write a such a nice review after your unfortunate car accident and that you have fully recovered.

We had a wonderful time staying in this cottage. It is conveniently located to visit many interesting places, like Rosslyn Chapel and Jedburgh. The cottage is small, but wonderfully equipped, with many special touches. The welcoming basket with local products was very sweet and there were already some basic supplies available (milk, eggs, etc.). When booking a cottage we are used to bringing our own towels and linens, but that wasn't necessary here. We loved the wonderful smelling fluffy towels. On the day that we arrived, the owners weren't able to greet us in person, but they asked a friend to come check in on us to ask if everything was okay, which was very thoughtful. Throughout the cottage the owners have taken great care to make our stay as nice as possible, for which we were grateful. This is a great place to relax and if we ever wish to visit this region again, we'll make sure to check if this cottage is available.

We thought Tweed Cottage was lovely and found it larger than we expected. The owner was there to greet us and give us helpful advice on our arrival. He told us how to find dog walks close to the cottage. Where the path to the Whiteadder was and the best walks round Paxton House grounds. There are also lots of leaflets in the cottage giving details of local attractions. The cottage is well decorated and there was plenty of room for us and our large dog. We especially loved the bathroom with the large shower. The table set for a meal made the cottage look very welcoming when we arrived.

When the local pub was shut we went to the Salmon in East Ord, only a short drive away, for a meal. Dogs were allowed and the food was excellent. It wasn't the time of year to sit outside but there is a garden area when you get the weather.

This is somewhere we would stay again if we are visiting the area.
