The Little Things We Love
The countryside setting on the Milne Graden Estate is beautiful throughout every season.

Loved our stay at North Lodge, a relaxing stay with lots to do on the doorstep including exploring the Milne Graden estate. The dog park was a bonus and a fun addition to our morning walk. High quality finishing touches which added to the overall experience. We've booked to come back next year while we were here which speaks volumes on how much we've enjoyed it!

We would just like to say how much we enjoyed our holiday at North Lodge the location was perfect, good views from the rear decking area, very quiet and private away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The weather was quite good. The Lodge was very comfortable, clean and warm and the welcome pack was much appreciated.

Many thanks for an enjoyable week at North Lodge. The extras of doggy bag, shopping bag, coffee etc. were very welcome and added that thoughtful touch to the comfortable accommodation. The weather was very kind too.

Just a note to say how much my husband and I enjoyed our stay at North Lodge at the weekend, it really was lovely and relaxing and the cottage was just beautiful.

We thoroughly enjoyed my stay at North Lodge. The setting and property was just perfect and peaceful as we had expected. The welcome lemon drizzle cake and doggie goodie bag were very well received. Our stay was made even more special by a surprise proposal while visiting floors castle. We enjoyed celebrating with some champagne at our little lodge. Our short break is one we will cherish forever! Many thanks and be sure we will book another stay soon.

North Lodge was of a very good standard and nicely furnished. There was a lovely cake on arrival and tea/coffee/milk. We really enjoyed our stay. We are regular Crabtree & Crabtree customers and always feel secure in booking a property with you that we will stay at a high end property.

We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday and would recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a quiet break. The provision of tea bags, cake and milk was a lovely touch. The cottage was spotless, everything worked and the location and description was spot on - which is not always the case. We certainly hope to return to the area again would definitely consider yourselves and North Lodge again in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Milne Graden. It was an amazing cottage with a beautiful and inspiring view of the estate house out our kitchen window. We were very lucky to have been around during the summer harvest, which proved mesmerising to watch. The cottage itself was almost entirely sound-proof and while eating breakfast or dinner on the deck outside we were amazed by how quiet it was. The cottage was well appointed and it became our second home while on vacation in Scotland. The walks around Milne Graden were also lovely and worth the effort after dinner before dusk. The location allowed us to see a vast part of the Scottish Borders in an easy and restful manner. We are now actively planning our return trip and have decided to bring our two sons along for the adventure! Thank you for a lovely and peaceful holiday!

We have just spent a wonderful week at North Lodge with our dog, Lottie, and cannot speak more highly of the service you and the owners have provided. Please do pass on our thanks to them. Milne Graden is such a special place: we fell in love with it on our first night and loved the walks by the Tweed and the wonderful butchers in Norham!
Mr & Mrs Burn
Of all the MG holiday houses that we have stayed... large and small... we have perhaps enjoyed this the most. Warm, comfy and relaxing with the most attractive 'country style' decor it was a delight. No barking dogs and set alone, it was so peaceful. Wonderful setting... even sat and had morning coffee in the sunshine on the deck. Once again, really well done Milne Graden owners.
Ellis family
We have loved staying in North Lodge - our 3rd Milne Graden stay (Park End & School House previously) and we are back with the family in October at Hamilton House - that says it all! keep on doing the same thing and we will keep coming back. Many thanks.
Hockliffe family
I wanted to let you know that we had the most wonderful stay at North Lodge. This was our second time here, but were lucky enough to have two weeks rather than one. We quite honestly could have stayed longer if we had the time! The cottage is perfect: cosy, comfortable, and so peaceful. The garden and the estate are gorgeous and our dog absolutely loves it, especially the dog park. Having the beach so close was also wonderful, and we did lots of walks on the coast. The watercolour workshop was immensely enjoyable. The weather was nice enough for us to sit outside at the cottage. Maria was very keen to pitch the level right so we had a coffee and talked a lot, and I felt my confidence returning immediately. What we did was very simple, but it has re-ignited my love of watercolours and I continue to practice what she taught me. I would highly recommend her. We quite honestly would come back every year, and maybe we will!
Mr Clements
Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Tea, hamper and wine - lovely touches. We have been relaxed and comfortable and it was nice to celebrate a birthday here. Many thanks for all you do to make this place special.

My wife, dog and I rented North Lodge on the Milne Graden Estate for two weeks at the beginning of September. The lodge is phenomenal. It may seem small by room count, but each room more than served its purpose for size. Add to this the large enclosed garden, separate parking space and fabulous view, what more could anyone ask for. The lodge was spotlessly clean and very well equipped and maintained to a very high standard. Spending two weeks we were given the option for a quick clean midway, which we accepted. The cleaner and gardener were in and out in no time, very pleasant and friendly with it too. Many a morning we had breakfast on the decked area and used the garden for lounging in the sun reading our books. The Milne Graden Estate, where the lodge sits, has a few walks of its own, some leading down to the River Tweed and stunning. The roads from the lodge and in the vicinity are nice and wide, very quiet with hardly any traffic, pretty much pothole-free and great for cycling which we did. Coldstream is approximately 4.5miles away and provides most of the general day-to-day amenities that may be needed. North Lodge’s location is great for sightseeing both English and Scottish attractions of which there were many if you enjoy walking, coastal and town visits etc. In summary, North Lodge on the Milne Graden Estate is a magnificent lodge, brilliantly listed by Crabtree & Crabtree, exceptionally well maintained and an absolute pleasure to stay at. We would not hesitate to stay there again. 10 out of 10 for the whole experience from booking to staying.
Mrs Walkden
Thank you for such a lovely holiday. It was perfect from start to finish. The cottage was beautiful. Clean, spacious, comfortable, well equipped. It’s a very easy place to be in, so pleasant and relaxing. The location is excellent. So many beautiful, dog-friendly beaches close by and a huge selection of supermarkets. The grounds are stunning, with the river so nearby and we had such a giggle in the dog park with our Jack Russell. We were extremely blessed with the sunshine for two weeks, but on a couple of half-days it wasn’t so great, so we just treated ourselves to the beautiful open fire, with endless free logs, and everything else you need to light it, and relaxed. Gorgeous staycation, our best ever, and we hope to return next year.
Mr & Mrs Milne
We have enjoyed our week at North Lodge, lovely little cottage but everything you need was there. The walk to the river was very pleasant, my husband and our Jack Russell took it as their daily walk. The countryside looked beautiful at this time of year in particular the golden fields of rapeseed. It was unusually cold at the beginning of the week but this did improve! We enjoyed a walk on the Northumberland beaches which are an easy drive away, also visits to Kelso and Melrose.
Mr Frisby
We’ve enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is clean, cosy and attractive place to be and makes a great base to explore the surrounding area. Its more than likely we’ll come again.
Mrs Waddington
Lovely trip even the one day of rain didn’t spoil it. Super cottage which is warm, cosy and comfortable. It was spotlessly clean which is a comfort in these strange times. Love the wallpaper!
Mrs Luffman
We have had a wonderful week. Everything was as we expected. We were very pleased to have the enclosed garden - a huge plus - thank you. Excellent accommodation.
Mr Clements
A thousand thank yous! We have been so happy to be back. So relaxed and comfortable here in North Lodge. Lovely secluded garden. Shame we have to go back. Thank you so much for all you have done under what remain very difficult circumstances and thank you for the gift voucher - a very kind gesture. This is a very special place for us and we look forward to our next visit.
Mr & Mrs Crabtree
We had a wonderful time at North Lodge, it is so comfortable and well furnished with everything you need, spotless too. We will definitely return to Milne Graden .There is still a lot for us to discover in the area. Thank you for the efficient service from all at Crabtree & Crabtree, we will always try and book holidays in your area through yourselves.
Mr & Mrs Preston
We had a lovely time at North Lodge, it was beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished with everything we needed for our stay. Milne Graden was a peaceful estate with nice walks on the doorstep and right on the River Tweed which was a bonus for us, we will certainly return to the Scottish borders and one of your lovely cottages. Booking with Crabtree and Crabtree was straight forward and easy with no problems.
Mrs Roberts
We had a wonderful stay - fantastic walk around the estate, great pillows and linen. Helped by glorious weather. Thank you for your hospitality.
Omeara family
Had a fantastic stay at North Lodge, setting was stunning and inside was very well done, usually I mentally redecorate but was done exactly to my taste so that spoilt my fun! Very comfortable bed so much so that I have ordered the same pillows. Our golden cocker spaniel Betsy loves all the walks and we enjoyed exploring the surrounding idea. The housekeeping deserves a thank you also, very clean. I have loved your website and spent many a happy hour, so much so have already booked another C&C property in September. So much choice not enough time off work!
