"Well you did it again, we have just enjoyed 10 wonderful days at Leitholm Cottage. The host was amazing, extremely welcoming and accommodating, you could feel that she just wanted us to have a great time, nothing was too much trouble. We were gathering as a family of 6 with 2 small dogs, from all over the place and the cottage could not have been better. It is fabulously equipped, a real home from home, everything you could want and more. We have been here 10 days and really don’t want to leave. The Scottish Borders are a wonderful place to explore and take in the natural beauty. Kelso, Coldstream are all nice towns to take a leisurely stroll around. A trip to Holy Island, a must, such an amazing spot and not too far away. Thank you, yet again a wonderful holiday."

"We booked Leitholm cottage for 4 nights from Sunday 20th March, we were enjoying it so much we extended our stay for a further 2 nights. The owner was very accommodating and this wasn’t a problem to her.

The cottage had everything we needed and apart from a couple of trips we were quite content just staying put and relaxing in the beautiful garden. Our weather that week was exceptionally good for March.

We would recommend the pub in Norham(one in village was closed during our stay) and had good food at The Potted Lobster in Bamburgh.

Thank you for letting us stay in this lovely cottage. We’ve stayed in quite a lot from Crabtree and Crabtree and this one is up there for having everything just right." 

"Great holiday. The owner is wonderful – cottage, hamper and personally, so kind and welcoming. Interesting and beautiful area to explore, with lots of different things to do."

"We had a very good week despite the mixed weather. Leitholm Cottage was lovely, very comfortable and well equipped, and a delicious welcome pack. The owner was very kind, returning something I had left behind and wouldn’t allow me to pay the postage. We didn’t need to trouble her with anything, but I’m sure it would have been dealt with swiftly. We will certainly look at your properties when we next return to the northeast. Many thanks."

"Efficient and friendly booking service. Amazing cottage. Welcome basket was incredible - homemade cake, prosecco, biscuits, chocolate, oat cakes, etc. Leitholm Cottage is one of the most comfortable and well equipped holiday homes we've rented. Huge, comfy bed with beautiful linen, cozy lounge with log burner for cold evenings but also a lovely sunny garden with excellent furniture. Perfect!"

"Very enjoyable stay over New Year!  Welcome pack, eggs and meringues delicious, thanks.  Cottage was so warm and cosy, spotlessly clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped.  Thanks Katie."  

"Dear Katie, thank you so much for letting us stay in your absolutely beautiful home from home cottage.  A big thanks for all the delicious local goodies and your delicious banana loaf.  Yummy!  Lots to do in this very interesting, scenic part of Scotland and Northumberland.  We would definitely like to return and explore more.  Thanks again."  

"We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage was v well equipped and it was reassuring to know the owner was there if we needed anything but also not obtrusive. The welcome hamper was good and we will be recommending it."

"Had a lovely week in your very well-equipped cottage.  Nice retreat in the rain!  Loved the hamper!  Did loads – even feeding the very tame seals off Eyemouth Harbour.  Loads to do in this area.  Floors Castle.  Garden is a real treat.  Had a wonderful time!"  

"Lovely week in your beautiful cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed trips to local places but particularly loved the wonderful garden. Hopefully we will be back."

"We certainly did enjoy our stay at Leitholm Cottage. The owner had left an absolutely superb welcome hamper. It was also lovely to have the Christmas tree. The cottage was well equipped and clean and the towels were lovely and fluffy."

"We have had a lovely holiday in this beautiful cottage. Everything was absolutely spot on! Thank you so much to the owner for the delicious cake and jam, it was all gobbled up very quickly. Hope to return some time soon."

"As always we had a perfect stay at The Cottage, Leitholm. It is beautiful inside and has everything needed to make a comfortable stay. Very generous welcome hamper and the garden is just lovely. We would definitely go back."

"Thank you so much for the lovely, warm welcome – we feel completely spoiled and well rested. We loved spotting the stars in the garden in the evening."

"Loved the cottage. Had a lovely New Year’s break. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The beach recommendations were spot on and your cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Everything we could have needed we had! Thank you. Loved it."

"We stayed at Leitholm Cottage nr Coldstream for 4 days. We usually do beach holidays but thought we'd try country for a change - we are so glad we did. The cottage is immaculate with lovely finishing touches and a welcome pack. So nice of the owner - who is very friendly and helpful - thank you for the wonderful home made lemon drizzle cake too! There is also a huge enclosed garden which is beautifully landscaped which was lovely to sit in and relax dogs loved it too! The local pub the Plough sold lovely food and we had an amazing Sunday lunch there. There is not much apart from the pub in the village although the locals are extremely friendly. It was a great base to explore the local area - we will definitely be back"

"Just to thank you for a wonderful stay in the Borders. The cottage was lovely. We met the owner as well; a lovely, friendly person. We will be back again."

"We were greeted by a fabulous welcome pack with a delicious home cooked cake and everything you need on arrival. I would highly recommend this cottage with lots of home comforts and a beautiful large garden for the children to play in. The surrounding area was very pretty and fantastic beaches just a short car journey away."

"Leitholm cottage is perfectly situated to explore both the east coast and the Borders area in general. The cottage is superbly equipped and furnished very tastefully. We spent 4 days in October 2022 and felt perfectly at home and relaxed. The owner is a wonderful host and very quickly responded to any small queries which we had. We followed a number of the recommendations for days out and thoroughly enjoyed Coldingham beach with our dog and St. Boswells"

"From the moment we arrived at Leitholm Cottage, we were at home. The owner left a welcome basket full of goodies which went above and beyond what was expected. The cottage was cosy, warm, exceptionally clean and well resourced with everything we needed: a real home from home! We loved the cottages's eclectic style too. The garden was gorgeous. We will be highly recommending this cottage to friends and family for a relaxing getaway. We would loved to have stayed longer! Many thanks for a lovely stay."

"We had a wonderful stay at Leitholm Cottage last week. The owner has thought of everything and we received the most amazing welcome hamper. The info at the cottage was well presented in the true ‘Crabtree & Crabtree’ style! This was our 3rd cottage we have booked with Crabtree & Crabtree. The communication was excellent and the website format/photos and customer info online are very informative & helpful. We loved the location of Leitholm, so near the coast & lots of beautiful sights & walks with our dog. We would have no hesitation booking through you again, we know we can trust the level of service you provide."
