Perfect for two, this quaint, cosy cottage is a warm, restful haven for those seeking a relaxing change of pace.

Small but perfectly formed, Woodman’s has all the essentials required of holiday living. The open plan sitting room/kitchen is a studio style space - warm and functional with comfortable furnishings and finishes.

The kitchen is well equipped with a dining space for two, and a rear door leads into a large open garden where you can watch the comings and goings of the abundant wildlife.

A pretty bedroom sits on the first floor with characterful coombed ceiling, along with the bathroom with bath and shower over.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

The Little Things We Love

Upon arrival, the lovely owners welcome guests with freshly baked goodies - the brownies are our favourite!

Don't take our word for it...

Firstly, it was very good to deal with C&C, and we will definitely do so in the future – the process was clear, and the information was excellent. Thank you. We loved our stay at Woodmans, and plan to return. It was the right size for two people, so I don't think I would recommend it if you had more. The owners were fabulous hosts – we very much appreciated their care and attention to detail, as well as the delicious scones. The cottage and everything in it - from the pots and pans to the bedding – was spotless. All in all, a great experience. I just wish it was for longer.

Woodman’s looked just what we were looking for and it was important to us that it was dog friendly. The owners were lovely, nothing was too much trouble and we knew from the outset that it really was a dog friendly establishment. They gave us some local knowledge of the area which we appreciated – we also appreciated the surprise chocolate cake, cookies and bottle of wine. Woodman’s was exactly as advertised, modern, bright and clean and it was a sufficient size for two or us and our dog for a week. Facilities offered by the owners were great. We loved the fact that we could leave the back door open and our dog could roam outside if he wanted to without coming to any harm. Even our neighbours commented on his behaviour and how they simply had to take a photo of him because his tail never stopped wagging! We had a lovely week and will be booking again next year because there is still so much we want to explore and Woodman’s gives us a central base in which to do so. We felt Crabtree & Crabtree service was also of very high standard.

Such a lovely stay again. Thank you to the owners for making us so welcome. We will be back!

Don't take our word for it...

We had lovely holiday at this cottage. We couldn’t fault it in any way. It was very comfortable, well maintained and a perfect base for exploring the area. Our first experience of the Crabtree & Crabtree service has been a positive one and we will be booking another holiday with you later in the year.

Don't take our word for it...

Enjoyed our stay at the Woodmans Cottage, very peaceful and comfortable. Weather great, beautiful scenery as always in the Borders, around Kelso and Melrose. The owners helpful and kind, left us some great scones and jam and wine.
Mr & Mrs Pringle, 3rd April 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a wonderful time at the Woodman's Cottage. When we arrived we were met by our hosts who gave us a very warm welcome.The cottage was very tastefully decorated and the furnishings were of a very high quality. Lovely area to explore with the beautiful towns of Peebles and Melrose on the doorstep, and it is also an excellent walking area.
