Abbey House is currently undergoing complete renovation and will be available to let from May 2012. Please note that the images displayed above show the house prior to renovation. New images will be available by April 2012. The description and floor plans below provide further details of the new accommodation. Please contact us if you have any queries.

Tucked away on the edge of Coldstream this charming period house offers guests the best of both worlds. The large, attractive, walled garden is a secluded haven with fabulous views over the River Tweed to the Cheviot Hills beyond. Yet Coldstream's pubs and shops are all within a few minutes' walk from the house.

Outside, the pretty, mature garden is fully-enclosed offering privacy and a safe environment for children and dogs. There are fabulous views of the Tweed to the Cheviot Hills and Flodden Field beyond.

Inside, Abbey House is currently being completely renovated throughout to a very high standard including re-modelling of the existing accommodation to form a larger open-plan kitchen and a boot room / cloakroom. The re-modelled first floor accommodation will comprise four bedrooms each with en suite or adjacent bathrooms. Please see below for a full description of the accommodation and a link to floor plans.

With prime Lower Tweed beats just a few minutes' drive away, (including Tillmouth, Lennel, West Learmouth and The Lees), Abbey House is an ideal base for fishing parties. A chest freezer is provided and the garage is large enough for two cars with rod racks. A new boot room in the house provides space for drying kit and dogs.

Coldstream is the first town over the Scottish Border and once rivalled Gretna Green for runaway marriages. The town has a museum dedicated to the Coldstream Guards as well as a good selection of local shops and pubs. Just outside the town is The Hirsel Country Park, picturesque home of the Douglas-Home family offering lovely woodland and lakeside walks, excellent birdlife and the 18-hole Hirsel Golf Course.

9 miles from Coldstream lies the picturesque town of Kelso with its Flemish-style cobbled square, 12th Century abbey, the majestic Floors Castle and the graceful Tweed bridge (a model for London's Waterloo Bridge). The town has a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as the Roxburghe championship golf course and regular National Hunt Racing. For foodies Abbey House is close to two of the area's best restaurants; the Collingwood Arms at Cornhill-on-Tweed and the Wheatsheaf restaurant at Swinton, both noted for their local cuisine.

Abbey House is an ideal base for exploring the Tweed Valley, a historic landscape punctuated by imposing castles, including Floors, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Thirlestane and Alnwick, the evocative ruins of abbeys at Kelso, Melrose and Dryburgh and stately mansions at Paxton, Manderston and Mellerstain.

Just a stone's throw away are miles of pristine sandy beaches for walking, riding, kite-surfing and bird-watching. And Edinburgh is just over an hour by car or 45 minutes on the train from Berwick-upon-Tweed.
