Detached Stone Cottage With Panoramic Views Of The River Tweed

The detached cottage is situated in the lovely hamlet of Wark, within the remains of Wark Castle (Order of the Garter), protected by English Heritage. The nearest shop and pub and public transportation is in Cornhill on Tweed. There is a Co-op, shops and pubs in Coldstream just 4 miles across the river where there is also an exceptional golf course in the grounds of the Hirsal, home of Lord Hume. The cottage, on the bank of the River Tweed, stands high above the river giving panoramic views into Scotland. Enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the scenery while watching the salmon jump and the fisherman spending a lazy day fishing (or if you prefer to fish yourself, a trout fishing permit can be obtained at the Cornhill P.O. and salmon fishing can be arranged in advance through the local agent who represents the owners of the beats of the Tweed). Watch swans flying by at eye level, heron, ducks, pheasants and the numerous varieties of birds that share Wark.

Idyllic Getaway.
Small but perfectly formed - this tiny house is ideal for a peaceful, relaxing getaway for two. The house is spotlessly clean with an excellent use of space. Stunning river views from the window and many different types of wildlife outside the window create endless entertainment without the need for the TV. This is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area and only 15 miles from the coast. Friendly and informative neighbours and a very novel but comfy bed. We will definitely be back!.

Fantastic little cottage
Excellent service, location not the easiest to find, as town hall has been demolished and the next door's cottage name is overgrown so not easy to spot. The cottage itself it just perfect for our stay, lovely garden to sit and enjoy the evening. Would recommend and would stay again.

Rainbow Cottage
I wasn’t happy about being watched the whole time by the neighbours.They gave us orders re the gates & parking as soon as we arrived. The cooker is very old. The bed is ghastly & the springs twang in the middle of the night. However the location and the wildlife was amazing.

Rainbow cottage is a little gem. Everything we could possibly need, and lovely views of the Tweed. Pheasant and partridge along with lots of small birds came to visit daily. A perfect place to stay.

Everything was good. The only niggle I have is at first towels were supplied but half an hour before we arrived we had an email about the key safe and it stated towels were not supplied so we had to buy some. The reason being is I did not reply to an earlier email about the keys. Hey ho it’s not the end of the world

Quiet, rural location.Well eqipped cottage. Lovely views from lounge window and rear terrace Bird feeders a bonus in bringing the bird life close. Walks straight from the door. Great location to visit tons and atractions nearby. Also getting onto some great road tours on the motorbike. The little conservatory is light and sunny to sit in, and to hang and store all the outdoor gear.

Lovely Little Holiday Cottage
We were very happy with our stay. The cottage is in a small estate within the hamlet of Wark. It overlooks the Tweed, with the dining table placed next to the window with the best view. There is lots of wildlife here. We saw Bluetits visiting the bird feeders, a little robin was a regular visitor, and we saw a woodpecker on a couple of occasions, too. The people next door are looking after an injured pheasant. We could see swans on the Tweed, and sometimes ducks or even herons would fly past. One evening, we went for a meal out and when we came back, it had just turned dark, and we saw a hedgehog at the end of the drive! At night, you could hear the owls, and we saw a barn owl one night. There is a little sitting area on the back patio, overlooking the River Tweed. The fold out beds are easy to operate. The kitchen is well stocked with implements, pans, crockery, glasses, washing machine, full oven, a microwave and a toaster. There is an clean outhouse more than big enough to store bikes in (although we didn't bring ours). The cottage is just big enough for a couple on holiday. It is very well situated for visiting Berwick-upon-Tweed, Coldstream, Cornhill and the historic sites of Norham Castle and the Battle of Flodden Field were close by. We loved it and would recommend it to anyone considering a break in Northumberland or the Scottish Borders.

Hidden gem
This is the second time we have stayed in Rainbow Cottage. It was actually better than remembered. So peaceful. Fabulous for birdwatching. The cottage itself is ideal for two. Has everything we needed and was warm and cosy at night. We had no problems with parking and the neighbours are lovely. Once again we've received a beautiful card from them painted by Syd himself.

Lovely peaceful getaway
Rainbow cottage is a lovely little home from home, sitting above the river tweed. Fabulous views of the river, lots of birds visit the feeding stations, the woodpecker was a real treat. The cottage is perfectly placed for visiting the Northumbrian coast and the Scottish Borders. The parking is fine, drive in, reverse out, no problems. Communication with Julie was perfect. If you’re looking for a break away from hustle and bustle this is the place.
