Have stayed here before and was satisfied with the house. This time when I arrived there were no remote controls for the TV. I phoned the owner as the note she left encourages this if there is a problem. I got her voice mail. I texted her but no response. 4 days later she phoned me. I missed that call, then got her voice mail. The day before I was due to leave she phoned to say she was waiting outside to get in the house. A mix up with my holiday dates. She asked then about the remotes and said they must have been taken by someone.There is a downstairs toilet but I was left no towel for there.

Well located for bus and trains, handy for local shops. If you want a supermarket and have come on the train check out the buses, you can get one to tesco and asda as they are in Tweedmouth.Settee was very uncomfortable had to use the seat cushions of the chairs on the settee. Bed was low but reasonably comfortable, downstairs toilet room a very tight squeeze. Stairs were steep but plenty of rails to hold on to.Nice treat was left for us on arrival.
