Perfect in every way!

This is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at- beautifully clean, great facilities and so many lovely thoughtful touches! It really felt like luxury as everything was just so high quality. The underfloor heating, log burner and amazing mattress/sheets were highlights for us! Loved the complimentary extras too, particularly the pint of milk as you often forget to bring that when you arrive in the evening. The view from the kitchen is very special when you’re making your morning cup of tea. The farm is great, we loved meeting the pigs and animals. Next time we will definitely participate in a yoga class (the studio is next door!) but we were too busy eating eggs this time 😂 Thank you so much Alexa for such a perfect stay- we were working over Christmas this year so this was the perfect cosy winter treat for us.

About the host

Hosted by Alexa Millar

Our family relocated to the Scottish Borders in December 2018. We have two young children and traded in the city life for a piece of 'the good life'; a small organic farm near Duns in Berwickshire. Andrew now spends most of his time farming and all that it entails and Alexa is a Primary School and Yoga teacher. We love having people come to visit and share in our experiences and we are delighted to now be able to offer our self contained one bedroom cottage to guests.
