Gorgeous wee studio cottage, perfect for us and our two wee dogs. The hosts were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. We were made to feel at home and a welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival. The key safe made entry easy and quick. Would most definitely recommend staying here as Eyemouth is a stones throw away with a lovely beach for walking the dogs. Cant wait to go back

Alehill cottage short break

Elisabeth and myself enjoyed our stay and although we were out and about a lot of the time enjoying the beautiful coastal walks and amenities the studio apartment was a characterful peaceful retreat to return to, certainly a credit to Ethel and Jim for the care they take of the cottage and external gardens and landscape.

Gorgeous holiday cottage

The communication with Jim was really good from the moment we enquired about the cottage. The cottage is lovely & in a nice quiet location just outside of Eyemouth. The views from the cottage are fantastic. We found its location was ideal for long coastal walks during the day then nice cosy evenings with the log burner lit. Great personal touches like a welcome pack & fresh flowers on the table. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

Lovely!

It is a studio apartment so bed is a fold down one, however it was lovely a comfy. It was incredible clean. All amenities and gadgets you could ask for were here, including a dishwasher.If you want peace and tranquility, this is the place to go.Eyemouth is a few minutes drive away. Lots of lovely small towns and villages. Dunbar was worth a visit.Hosts left some goodies on arrival, a lovely touch. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming, thankbyou.I had a perfect stay. I hope i get to return in the not too distant future!

Absolute home from home. I was in the studio which was perfect for me. It had everything I needed, kitchen area, lovely shower room, lovely King Size sofa bed (of which I am going to buy the same type for my conservatory). the setting was so peaceful, sat outside on the decking in peaceful and lovely surroundings, enjoying the evenings and sunset. If you like quiet, this is the place. Very easy to get to the very many surrounding areas, Eyemouth, Berwick and Edinburgh is not too far away.I met Rachael who was very friendly, full of information about the area, and also interested in why I was in the area, I mentioned why I was also staying and chatted for a good while. I couldn't fault staying here, not that I was looking for fault. My work life is very busy, and this was the perfect 'get away from it' all place for me. I like peace and quiet, and tranquil this was. If I am in the area again, I will certainly be booking this.From original contact with James, which was very smooth and easily understood, to the the very nice bottle of red wine gesture, 20 out of 10 hosts and an amazingly relaxing stay. Thank you.

Not as it seems

The property was listed as 5 minutes from beach, That did not say 5 mins drive. Very remote if you don’t drive, unless you really enjoy walking, not at all what we anticipated. Certainly not up to our cleanliness standard, Host seem friendly enough, we only stayed 3 nights instead of 6, ( we only stayed the 3rd night because we had arranged to meet up with friends) otherwise would of come home after 2nd night.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 June 2023
We are sorrow that you didn’t enjoy your stay with us in our quiet rural location. We personally asked you twice if everything was ok and your response was yes. If walking is an issue for you perhaps it would be advisable to ask. In the 20 years we have operated ALEMILL HOLIDAY COTTAGE we have never had an issue with cleanliness. If you look at our reviews on VRBO and other booking platforms you will see that this is the case. Disappointed that you didn’t communicate any of your concerns prior to your early departure, we would have been happy to discuss them with you. Regards Jim & Ethel

We had everything we needed, if the weather had been Colder we could have used the endless supply of kindling which is very rare, you usually have to pay xtra. Only thing with us bearing in mind it was my fault for not reading the advert properly, was the futon, took both of us each morning and night to make it.
