    “Exactly as we hoped for.”

    Clean & tidy. Small touches which made the difference - jug of milk left in the fridge, toilet roll in the bathroom, washing up liquid in the kitchen, games, books & tv - an excellent home from home. Fenced garden for the dogs. The owners seemed to have thought things through. Anyone, with dogs, looking to holiday in the area, I could (& have already done so) recommend the property.

About the location

TOWN YETHOLM AND KIRK YETHOLM

Cornhill-on-Tweed 4 miles; Coldstream 6 miles.

The two villages of Town Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm are situated half a mile apart on either side of the River Bowmont, at the north end of the Pennine Way. Once providing a route through the hills into England, the villages are named 'Yetholm' after the Scottish 'yet', meaning 'gate' and the Anglo Saxon 'holm' or 'ham', meaning 'settlement', essentially 'place at the gate'. Both villages boast good pubs serving excellent food, small shops and a gift shop. Within easy reach are Cornhill-on-Tweed, a small, agricultural village and the town of Coldstream, which lies on the northern bank of the world famous River Tweed, with both offering good, real ale pubs and a selection of shops. The major visitor attractions of north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders are within easy driving distance, including the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne with its excellent shopping and night life, Edinburgh, Alnwick, with its famous Treehouse and Gardens, Bamburgh and its beaches, Holy Island and of course, the beautiful Northumberland National Park.
