• "This is our 3rd stay at 40 Bowmont Court."

  As previously experienced the house was spotless, spacious and has everything required for a comfortable relaxing stay. The owners leave a generous welcoming pack which is an excellent start to your holiday. The location is superb to explore the borders and surrounding area. The property also has a lovely large contained garden that our small dog loved exploring. We will definitely be back!

• "This home is well appointed, furnished beautifully and really well equipped with everything anyone could need while on their holiday."

  It's incredibly good value and provided all the space we needed, including 2 parking spaces! It was a lovely quiet area with wonderful walks from the doorstep. My only constructive criticism would be that the bathroom in the left side bedroom ensuite was looking tired with rusty radiator and loo roll holder and peeling paint. None of the bathrooms were spotlessly clean and needed a good scrub. We also had to wash quite a bit of crockery and cookware before using as it had food residue stuck to it. A drain underneath the outside tap would have been very useful as washing off muddy walking boots meant muddy water washing over the path. Cleaning issues aside, the house, location, equipment and pricing were perfect and made for a perfect holiday for us.

  Very comfortable house loved the underfloor heating in the conservatory and well equipped kitchen. It was a great place to stay sharing with family. Near to Kelso for our family party. plenty of space to accommodate different ages. Would love to have had longer stay in different season to enjoy the garden too.

• "Stunning cottage, spacious and well appointed."

  Fabulous welcome pack especially after a long journey. Great selection of books and games. Owners had thought of everything throughout the cottage. We would definitely recommend and stay again. Just a couple of things. I could feel the springs in the king mattress but I got round that by sleeping on a spare duvet. Shower door didn't close in ensuite but the shower is big enough for it not to create a problem. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for staying in our property. I note the two issues mentioned, the mattress in the king size bedroom was new at the beginning of this year, therefore I am sorry to hear you had a problem. I will look at the shower room door. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the future. Angela Property Owner

• "Stunning property on a unique street."

  The description and photos do not do it justice, you would expect to pay a much higher price for this sort of premium accommodation. Kelso is only a 5 minute drive away, but a fabulous walk down to the viaduct and river is highly recommended. The only slight criticism would be the lack of a key for the front door, and having to use the back door to come and go (not a major problem, just a very minor niggle).

  Thank you for your kind comments and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Due to new regulations it is a requirement for the main external door from the bedrooms to have a keyless exit, There is a note in the information pack that all the keys for the other doors are on the key hooks including the front door. Thank you for staying in our property. Angela Property Owner

  Faultless. The property states 4 miles from Kelso; but it's a 5 to 9 minute drive to parking in central Kelso, superb, main road all the way.

• "Another excellent stay at 40 Bowmont court."

  Great location. Lots of good dog walks, especially via the Roxburghe Schloss for a G &T! The house is really well equipped and perfect for 6 adults and 2 dogs. It’s got a very calm and peaceful feel to it. Loved afternoon tea at Ednam House in Kelso and highly recommend that, and excellent fish and chips from Rendezvous in Kelso. Also the Caddyman on the Kelso Jedburgh Road is amazing for Sunday lunches and very dog friendly-Both my husband and Dad say that their sticky toffee pudding is the best ever! We fixed the banging electricity box after the first night thanks to Gorilla tape I keep in my car! That needs sorting! The whole area is stunningly beautiful and the house does not disappoint. Really good welcome pack for human and dogs too! We are already planning our next visit back!

Thanks to the owners for a great stay!

• "This property was amazing plenty of room for 8 of us ."

  Very warm in the winter months clean comfortable . The shower in one room does need a new seal but that's a minor detail Mattress in the doubles do need a change as could feel springs but laid on the duvet so didn't feel them . The neighbours were friendly bumped in to some dog walkers Couldn't make use of the garden but imagine it's lovely in the summer . Would definitely stay agon if in the area

  We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in our property. We note your comments and would like to advise the shower room will be refurbished in January. Also noted the comments on the mattresses, all the furniture including the beds were brand new last year, however we will certainly consider renewing. We hope we can welcome you back in the future.

  A very clean and an ideal property for mum, dad, 2 teenage children, grandparents and 2 dogs. Lots of walks nearby & a dog friendly garden. Thank you for the welcome goodies for both humans and dogs! Loads to see and do in the area. The small estate the property is on backs into the Schloss golf course and it is so quiet. Loved the conservatory and the separate small reading room. The kitchen is well equipped and bedrooms comfy. Only downside is when looking to rebook this property for the same time next year, it’s already booked out to someone else!

• "Absolutely fabulous property."

  We had planned a family gathering at the weekend for my great niece's first birth. It was great for 6 adults and a crawling one year old. The owners even provided us with a high chair which was brilliant. Lovely place to come back to after a day sightseeing. We know the Scottish Borders well as my nephew has been living there for about 15 years now, but there are so many lovely places to visit. Kelso, Melrose, Peebles, North Berwick and Dunbar are all lovely.

  All fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard, it was immaculately clean. There were plenty of plates and cups, not just the usual 6 so you have to constantly wash everything!

The location is really quite and there is easy access to Kelso a few miles down the road. Will definitely be coming back, could easily live there!!

  Cosy warm and clean. Plenty space for everyone with a large kitchen diner and bonus of a conservatory. A lovely touch was the guest hamper with some coffee tea biscuits fudge wine crisps etc.we were delighted. The rooms and toilets were spotless with fresh linen and towels .everything was thought of and not a thing was missing every utensil for cooking. The washing machine was a bonus as we has a long walk and clothes got a bit grubby. It was such a great house we have booked again for next year.

  .There was plenty of room for us all and we had a fabulous stay..The house was clean and tidy and there were plenty of utensils in the kitchen if you wanted to cook. The information brochure was good but we found the info on putting the rubbish out a bit unclear..it said don't put glass in either bins but didn't say what we should do with the glass bottles..The lounge was very comfortable and it was nice that there is a snug if you wanted to sit and enjoy a book. The bedrooms were lovely but the mattresses on the double beds were hard..I slept on top of my quilt..it maybe worth investing in new mattresses however this wouldn't stop me from coming back as this is such a beautiful place and a great base to explore..Also it would be nice to have a tv in your brdroom...but i understand not essential The welcome packs were great especially the fudge..very delicious and overall I would give the home a huge 10 out of 10..

• "Beautiful property, just as the on-line brochure showed."

  Ample space for the 8 people in our party. We were impressed with the attention to detail within the property. Obviously a lot of thought went into the furnishings and ornaments. Fantastic quiet location with local walks. Maybe would benefit from a water pump, as we struggled to have 2 or more taps on at the same time. This was an issue with 8 people in the house. The beds were a little uncomfortable, but manageable. We all had a great stay; I was actually sad to leave! Thank you for allowing us to rent your wonderful property.
