Lovely property!
The house was very well - presented and had everything we needed for our stay. It was also quiet, very cosy with comfy beds too, we slept well. The showers were beautiful but we found that water came out a bit from them, so used extra towels to soak it up. We let the owners know and they were grateful for us alerting them to this.They are going to deal with this and sort it. We would certainly stay here again, the house is in a great location.

A lovely stay in a lovely cottage
We recently stayed in Rosybank cottage for 3 nights and loved every moment of it. The cottage is very comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated and very quiet (nice and warm too). The views of the River Tweed from the cottage are fabulous and it's easy to walk to anywhere in Coldstream from there. Great for the dog and lots of treats for both us and our dog provided. Easy to park the car too. Overall a lovely place to stay for a few days and we would absolutely recommend it.

A lovely, long weekend away
A sweet, well appointed cottage close to the river and lovely walks. The weather was bitterly cold which, getting away to The Borders in the middle of March, came as no surprise to us! The cottage was cosy and toasty warm, with a lovely welcome basket full of goodies. En-suites for both of us was a luxurious treat. And what a lovely touch that Christine gave us a call during first full day there, to make sure we'd settled in and ask if we needed anything. Thankyou x
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024

About the host

Hosted by Christine & John, Border Holiday Homes

Host profile image
When we saw the location of this historic cottage on the river bank, in the Border town of Coldstream, our family knew that it was ideal to add to our small group of holiday homes. The views of the famous River Tweed can be enjoyed form all the rooms in the cottage. The demands of the modern traveller meant that Rosybank would need a complete renovation.We designed two smart en suite wet rooms and upgraded all the facilities. It is proving very popular with one or two couples

Why they chose this property

This particular cottage ticked all the boxes for a holiday home. Renovation took nearly a year and Rosybank became actively available from July 2020

What makes this property unique

As Coldstream is on the Border with Scotland and England, there are many attraction within a short drive. The coast and Holy Island is a great favourite while historians like to visit the site of the Battle of Flodden. It's easy to visit Edinburgh too by train from Berwick or by car. The cottage is very comfortable and enjoyable as you can watch the fishermen or the wildlife from inside or outside
