Holiday rentals in Allanton

This special place surpassed all our expectations. The attention to detail and care in every aspect, from the little jars of shortbread to the amazing roof beams, is simply incredible. Everywhere you look, there's something interesting, clever, or beautiful. The location is perfect for a city break; it's an easy walk from the train station, with many attractions on your doorstep. You can even see Holyrood Park and its dramatic crags from the apartment. Once inside, you're completely cocooned from the world. We found ourselves structuring our days to maximize our time there. It truly elevated our stay, making it an unforgettable experience.

Everything was just as described. The shepherds hut had everything we needed for a bank holiday weekend and a lot of care had been put into making our stay special. The hut is in really lovely tranquil spot in an area not many tourists get to - the peace and quiet was just what we needed. Sitting in the afternoon sun was just blissful. We also visited Eyemouth, Coldingham Sands, Berwick Upon Tweed, Haddington and North Berwick - so plenty of interesting places nearby to see all not too far away - as well as some really nice local walks.

The place has an overwhelming sense of calm and quiet, plenty of space and light. We could have stayed for longer if we had the time, to sit on the cosy bench watching the swifts come and go, to see the sun rise and in the evening to watch the owl feeding its chicks. The walks to Alnmouth and Warkworth are recommended Amble is a pretty town to see followed by a fish supper at a great restaurant,The Fish Shack. Definitely will return, thank you Geno.

We had a lovely few days here, the place was immaculate and had everything we needed. Beautiful location my daughter loved looking at the horses, it was so quiet and peaceful.

June was a perfect host , was there if we wanted her and was very helpful. She met us outside on arrival and gave us the keys to the property. The house was very homely and spacious for 2 people and very well equipped. Would highly recommend It is well located with the beach about 100 yards away at the bottom of the street with easy access into the town and the harbour-side. Everything you need is close by with small coop supermarket , bakery and coffee shop within 200 yards.

Absolutely beautiful little cottage, looked just as photos. Everything spotlessly clean. All you could need was provided for (towels, kitchen utensils etc). Enclosed area both front and back of cottage. Washing line at the back too. Great communication from host too, quick and helpful responses. Had a little trouble finding it due to postcode covering a large area, but asked a friendly local who was very helpful and then found it no problem. Messaged host about local places to eat and was recommended the Cross Inn in Paxton (about 15-20 mins walk away) which was a great little place and a delicious dinner. A very peaceful location, surrounded by fields. Our little furry friend loved it too! Would absolutely stay here again 😀

Had a lovely stay the house is lovely and had everything we needed, very quaint and quirky. Lovely garden with lots of wild flowers, birds and butterflies, even fat balls for us to feed the birds so we could enjoy the wildlife. I don’t understand the negative reviews regarding the train being an issue it caused us no issues at all and in fact it was nice to hear. The fridge is a little small so if planning to take lots of supplies requiring refrigeration you may need to consider that - but for two people for a couple of nights it served its purpose. We had no issues with water pressure. Agree with others that the mattress could be a little more comfortable but after a day diving I slept fine. Ideal location for st abbs diving and 5 minute drive from Eyemouth where there is a coop supermarket. I did bang my head a couple of times on the back door exit as it’s very low - but this a traditional feature of the property so not sure how they owner can get round this Thank you !

We had a really lovely stay at Banchory Farm. By far, the best one we stayed in! Jane was very accomodating and responsive to our queries. The cottage had everything we needed, and more! The view was stunning, we felt at home the moment we walked in, the place was the right balance of old and new, which was the exact vibe we were looking for. We went around the surrounding towns and spots based on the recommendations in the booklet, and we loved every stop. Hubby went for a run the next morning and he loved the area so much. Wished we couldve stayed longer but we surely will be back at Banchory farm next time! ❤️
