Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives consistent commendation for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival.
The location is celebrated for its beauty and tranquillity, with guests enchanted by the sea views, wildlife, and the peaceful environment.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the beds cosy and the cottage warm upon arrival. However, some guests noted the lack of a stand-up shower as a minor inconvenience.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a few guests noting the high standard of fittings. Points were deducted for the lack of information on how to operate the TV and the absence of certain kitchen items.
While guests mentioned a welcome bottle of wine, as gifts are not consistently referenced across reviews, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.
About this property
Lower Burnmouth 0.4 miles. A charming former fisherman’s cottage, Partan Cottage near Ayton on the Scottish Borders is the perfect place for a fun family holiday. With dramatic cliffs and scenic coastline, the cottage enjoys a simply stunning location and the seaside setting is reflected in the tasteful coastal hues that resonate throughout the property. A delightful open-plan living space greets guests as they arrive with beautiful features such as an attractive seating area, a traditional inglenook fireplace complete with a stove-effect fire, picture windows and solid wood flooring, which all add up to create a really welcoming ambience. The stylish kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to rustle up delicious food for the holiday party and the adjoining dining area means that cooking can be a truly sociable experience. You can imagine pulling up a chair, pouring a glass of your favourite tipple and keeping the designated chef company. Outside, there is a communal terraced garden where you can soak up any sunshine or take a seat on the bench at the front, where you can breathe in the fresh sea air and soak up simply mesmerising sea views. All that outdoor activity will no doubt have tired everyone out, so take your pick from two pleasant bedrooms; a king-size and a double. Both are well-presented and offer a wonderful opportunity to recharge your batteries before waking up refreshed and raring to go. Partan Cottage is within a short walk of the tiny fishing hamlet of Lower Burnmouth known for sightings of grey seals in its gorgeous, sheltered bay area. Just a few minutes’ away are shops and pubs in villages such as Eyemouth and Ayton and Berwick-upon-Tweed is a short drive. Other attractions include Holy Island, St Abbs with its spectacular diving, the Farne Islands, the wonderful beaches and castles of North Northumberland, and the rolling countryside of the Scottish Borders and are all within easy driving distance. Boasting a truly amazing location on the stunning coastline of Northumberland, Partan Cottage offers guests a seaside stay in an authentic and beautifully presented holiday home.

The sea is literally feet away, the views are absolutely stunning. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. As has been said before the check in and out times are not very friendly and an extra hour at either end would have been great. A lovely relaxing stay, we would love to return.

Absolutely loved listening to the waves outside. Cottage cosy and very comfy beds. Owner very helpful post and pre stay. Only little negative was couldnt find a hair dryer or any extra black bin liners. Would love to come and stay again some time and would definitely recommend to others.

Super cottage kept immaculately. Amazing for wildlife watching: grey seals, Eider ducks, great northern divers and gannets right outside the front door. Would have appreciated more info about the area, perhaps a visitors book for tips and ideas, and clear markings on the bins as had no idea which was mine because none were marked. I feel the 5pm check in is far far too late - a whole day gone, especially in winter, and would urge the owners to consider bringing this forward.
