The Little Things We Love
Striding out across heathery hillsides and soaking up glorious skies, fantastic scenery, spectacular sunsets and magical starry skies.

This was our 5th stay at Pennine Way cottage, with another visit booked in for later this year. The cottage has stunning views of the Bowont valley. The cottage now feels like a home from home for us and look forward to future stays. I don't feel like I need to say more.

Just wanted to let you know that we had an amazing time in Pennine Way Cottage! The property is simply perfect, as are the views from both the house and the decking. We loved exploring the garden with our dog Sanna. The weather was ideal for walking with great visibility on the hills. We met the owner on arrival who was very friendly and welcoming. We felt really sad to be leaving and definitely hope to return next year if not before!

From the moment we walked into the cottage, we felt at home. A fantastic New Year in an immaculate cottage. The location is perfect, endless walks from the doorstep, finishing off at the local dog friendly pub. Very sad to be leaving but will definitely return again.

What an absolute treasure! Thank you so much for the beautiful restoration of the cottage; it is perfect both inside and out. We felt at home right away and are very sad to be returning home. We loved the cosy fires, well equipped kitchen and phenomenal views. Our dog loved the garden which looked even more picturesque in the snow. The walks were fantastic! What a magical place for some rest and relaxation! We cannot wait to come back!

The little cottage was stunning indeed. Just couldn't fault one single thing. Like a real live dolls house!! Stunning views and no need to drive for walking. All the outside lights were beautiful. Definitely will go back.

It was amazing - we fell in love with it, didn't want to leave. It's the best one we have stayed in, just perfect and so pleased we are going back.
Kemp family
Amazing cottage, perfect for a cosy break for two! Celebrated our first wedding anniversary here and could not have picked a more relaxing place. The cottage felt like home straight away. Wouldn't hesitate to book again and recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone.
Ward family
A wonderful cottage and a wonderful stay. Facilities in cottage are great, which is always appreciated after a busy day. Wildlife is great, we spent many hours relaxing and observing. So many great walks in the area. Weather was great and we managed some great days out. We would like to visit again, and stay here. The views are brilliant.
Woodfield family
A beautiful cottage - stunning views and so very peaceful. We've had a really enjoyable stay in this beautiful part of the world... the weather was pretty kind and we were able to enjoy some meals outside with the panoramic views of the hills and the sun setting. Enjoyed walking bits of the Pennine Way, Floors Castle, walking along the Tweed. We'd love to come back soon.
Handford family
What a find! Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and tastefully fitted. The views are to die for! Lots of things to do especially in such glorious weather.
Connor family
Perfect location, perfect accommodation, perfect holiday. Weather - 4 seasons in one day, but worth it. Thank you for a great cottage and attention to detail.
Wogan family
Thank you - we left restored. I think this may be heaven!
Cross family
Well we loved our return visit. So sad to be leaving as could never get sick of that view. Thank you so much again. We just love it here. Perfect.
Sowden family
What a perfect place to celebrate our Pearl Wedding Anniversary. The cottage is a credit to the owners - stunning views and location with well thought out outside areas for pooch holidaymakers too. Inside it is a real home from home and so, so comfortable. Lots of little touches and for once, this rental far exceeded our expectations - perfect! Fantastic if you love walking - we have only scratched the surface of days out on the fells. What an amazing week - we certainly would love to return to this little piece of heaven.
Whitehouse family
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you all for a most enjoyable stay at Pennine Way Cottage. The accommodation is superb and the views from it spectacular. So despite the adverse weather conditions I had a great time. You are to be congratulated on the very high standard of accommodation you provide and also your excellent service.
Reilly family
We had an amazing time at the cottage. The cottage had everything and more. Spend lots of time outside as the weather allowed. Just stunning views. We have been to many cottages but this was by far the high end and best. From the welcome basket to the toiletries all very thoughtful and much appreciated. Everything had been thought off that a guest might need for their comfort and enjoyment. We felt right at home and the room for the dog made him feel at home too. So thank you so very much and we are already looking at diaries for next year.
Norrie party
Pennine Way Cottage was a wonderful place to stay, beautifully presented, well equipped, spacious, everything you need. The icing on the cake was the lovely views from the very comfortable, cosy living room. Sitting looking out at the snow covered hills with the log burner going was a treat. Also great views from the dining area. Would also be great here in warmer weather when you could take advantage of the fabulous decking, glass of wine in hand, enjoying the views and quietness. Pennine Way certainly tickets all the boxes. Peaceful and quiet with all the home comforts. Thanks for the welcome gift which was much appreciated. We have been to many holiday cottages and can honestly say that this has been one of the cleanest. Was great to see the deer each morning, once they were even in the garden. Good variety of birds and there are still 13 goldfish. We also saw a pine marten in the garden, that was a first for us. Would highly recommend this wonderful cottage.
Nelson family
Pennine Way was again lovely, only wish we were there now.
Golding party
What can I say? It was a real gem, fantastic cottage. We had a lovely stay and look forward to booking the property again for next year. Thank you so much.
Mr & Mrs Buller
We had the most fabulous week in the property, the standard of cleanliness was excellent and the attention to detail was amazing, top marks to the cleaning staff and the owners. We definitely will be rebooking and have already recommended the property to my family. Crabtree & Crabtree certainly have some excellent properties on their books.
Mrs Nelson
Perfect as usual.
Mr & Mrs Fuller
Wow! What a most beautiful place & a fantastic week with great weather to enjoy all the things we like to do. Walk the footpaths, visit little gems of towns, sit in the sunshine, read a lot and generally relax. We have had a great time visiting an area of Scotland we seemed to have forgotten - we've been everywhere in highlands and lowlands but have to say we have fallen in love with the Borders and all it has to give. Thank you for this gem of a place to stay - we will be back!
Ms Moon
Pennine Way Cottage is the most stunning property inside and out and the location and views are absolutely breathtaking, I will certainly be revisiting Pennine Way and hopefully soon.
Mr & Mrs Warden
Can’t wait to return next year. What more can I say?
Ms Thomas
Just wanted to give you some feedback about Pennine Way Cottage. We felt comfortable as soon as we stepped in, the facilities were excellent with everything you would need. And the views!! The views were amazing and the cottage was so warm and peaceful. Truly one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.
Mrs Dickins
We loved Pennine Way. As with all the Crabtree cottages we have stayed in the standard was very high. Strongly recommend it for its stunning views, standard of cleanliness and quality of furnishings.
Mr Doody
What can we say about Pennine Way Cottage that probably has not been already said? Fantastic location, amazing views, fully equipped and I mean fully, every thing has been thought of. right down to a dishcloth, a sponge nothing was a miss. The Border is only a 5 min walk from the cottage, great beer, food and staff, dog friendly too. The Plough is 20 minute walk from the cottage in the village of Town Yetholm, good butchers and a great little post office come general store. Bus in to Kelso is great if you fancy trying Scotland's first micro pub. The coast is an easy 40 minute drive away. Walking parts of St Cuthbert's Way is also from the doorstep, and lots of Pennine Way walkers pass the cottage too. We would love to visit again, maybe in the winter months.
Mr & Mrs Fairless
Pennine Way Cottage was I hoped and some. Remote, fantastic views, a great cosy place to explore the area. Would definitely go back, both in bleak mid-winter to see the hills covered in snow and in the summer, to sit in the garden with a glass of wine and watch life go by.
Anderson party
Thank you for a wonderful break at the Pennine Way Cottage in Kirk Yetholm. The place was clean warm and very enjoyable. Looking out of the kitchen window at breakfast was lovely. My wife had a lovely birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pub was very friendly and we had a lovely meal. Please pass on our thanks to the owners for sharing their cottage with us.
Breen party
It was amazing. So well equipped had everything. Really comfortable,stunning views . Would love to go again.
Ms Szorenyi
This is a wee gem of a cottage. It is extremely cosy and comfortable, and is very well located for a peaceful, restful break in Yetholm. The view over Bowmont Valley from the large living room window, while perched on the very comfy armchair with stool is just sublime. The wood burner is easy to use. I was grateful for the plentiful supply of logs. The view of the valley extends into the kitchen and dining room, so you can enjoy it from the table there. The kitchen is very well equipped. The whole place was spotlessly clean and tidy. Top marks to the housekeeper, as this was probably the best job I've ever seen in a holiday home anywhere. The bed is very comfortable and the bedding is of high quality and beautifully laundered. I slept very well over the entire week. It was so quiet and peaceful there. There is a very good shower-room with floor, fan and towel-rail heating. The electrics throughout the property are superb, eg a great heating system. The multi-level range of decking and seating is very impressively laid out, and there is a garden area at the bottom level. Lovely walks can be taken from the door, both up Pennine Way and, in five minutes, down into Kirk Yetholm and across to Town Yetholm. These are great wee villages. I was most warmly welcomed by the lovely people at the church in Kirk Yetholm; their kindness will stay with me always. We have just recently booked a return visit to this excellent cottage in this beautiful part of the world for late autumn. Many thanks to the owners for providing such a warm, very well thought-out, clean, and cosy haven. This is the third property we have booked with Crabtree & Crabtree since October. We have had no hesitation in recommending them to close friends.
Mrs Stratford
Our favourite holiday rentals are always with Crabtree & Crabtree. Pennine Way Cottage was exceptional. The interior was beautiful and everything you could need was provided. The exterior - stunning! The gardens were a real pleasure and you can see the work the couple have put into it. In future years that garden will be amazing. Then the views. I sat for hours just looking across the valley. We feel very lucky to have managed to finally get away but to have spent the week here was really special. We were also lucky to have the best weather so far this year. Thank you.
Ms Raistrick
Absolutely loved the property! It was recommended by friends of mine and it really did live up to expectations. Perfect location for us. The layout and grounds were outstanding, views amazing. I will certainly be looking at dates to book again next year.
Mr & Mrs Waller
The accommodation layout, facilities, equipment, information, style, ambience and comfort combined with the wonderful location and views have been perfect for us. It is one of the best places we have ever stayed at. Thank you for your attention to detail. Thank you also Crabtree & Crabtree. You have been warm, friendly and efficient throughout.
