"First off, the apartment was fantastic. Lovely and clean and spacious. We stayed as a young couple with the partner's parents and their dog. Fantastic somewhere as nice accommodates a pet. The kitchen was definitely well equipped for all self catering cooking. Gorgeous apartment and definitely the correct location if all you are interested in is country walks and not going out. If you were thinking of going out for a drink think again. Nothing to chose from for a decent drink out. Apart from that we had a lovely weekend with a trip to Eyemouth along the shore."
