The Byre At Brothershiels Reviews

Christopher

A fantastic gem of a cottage. Very clean with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Owners on hand and very helpful. Great hot tub.

Natalie

We had a lovely holiday at Brothershields Byre, the owners were very welcoming and kind. The setting was beautiful and tranquil with lots to do in surrounding areas and Edinburgh easily accessible by car or train from Gorebridge Station. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful holiday.

Trevor

This is a wonderful place to stay, so peaceful. It's perfect for visiting Edinburgh and the surrounding area. The cottage is great, we found everything we needed was provided. We didn't use the hot tub (may be next time we visit). A little bit too cold... We will will be back next year

Catherine

A lovely, restful and enriching short stay at The Byre. Amazing location, beautiful views, and we loved the unique qualities and beautiful artistry that are everywhere in evidence in the cottage - so much thought, love and skill involved! The hot tub was a special treat, complete with fluffy bathrobes; the wine and delicious shortbread were also muRead morech appreciated. A wonderful escape from the pressures of life! Thank you! Hide

ANNE

Lovely clean and well equipped property. Photos didn't do the property justice. Lovely large lounge and good size bedrooms. It was a real treat having the use of the hot tub. Ideal doggy holiday. Plenty of places to visit (beaches, country parks and of course so near to Edinburgh.)

Beautiful peaceful location, ideal for getting to Edinburgh, 10 minute drive to Gorebridge train station then 30 minutes on train. Cottage has amazing views and beds were so very comfortable, we all slept so well our entire holiday. Thank you to Noreen and Ali for being so welcoming. We had a fabulous holiday.

Joanna

Just returned from a super stay at the Bryer. We really enjoyed staying in this cottage. Its a very peaceful and private location and easy access to the main roads once you have passed over the three cattle grids. There arent any foot paths from the cottage but the main drive is all you need-the views are beautiful and its good underfoot! We parked at Gorebridge (free parking) and got the train into Edinburgh, which took about 25 minutes off right in the centre of Edinburgh.

Steve

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay in July

Michelle

Great holiday cottage, set amongst farmland and beautiful countryside. Owners live in the adjoining house. Owners very friendly and helpful, left a bottle of wine and shortbread for us. Hot tub lovely feature and nice is inside a wooden room, with lovely views. Ideal base for visiting Edinburgh, would definitely recommend.

Kathryn

Lovely comfortable cottage with everything provided that you might need. The large enclosed hot tub was fabulous with a great view. The cottage is a considerable distance from civilisation,so stock up well with food before you arrive. If you want a quiet stay, this is the place for you. Its a great base for travelling and visiting places around the area, but there are no walks, other that on the road, from the cottage. Gore Glen - 5 miles north on the A7 is a great place for dog walking.

Shireen

Fantastic sized property, has everything you could need. Peaceful location for those looking to get away for quiet time. Hot tub was amazing! Nearest shop for food is about 10/15 mins in car. Train Station is also about 10/15 mins away with train to Edinburgh every 30 mins.

Donna

Highly recommend for a lovely break! Owners are very friendly and accommodating but also give you privacy. The cottage is lovely and has everything you need. You do need a car to get about but its ideally situated to explore nice walks and not far away from attractions and Edinburgh city centre.

Samantha

Lovely peaceful retreat with great views. Close to Edinburgh and beaches. Clean and spacious cottage with everything you need. Owners friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Sarah

Home from home. Comfortable accommodation. Suited for days out but also for quiet days in. Own garden space and hot tub with views over the valley. The owners very welcoming.

Phil

A great location for easy access to Edinburg and the Scottish Boarders but also quiet enough to escape from it all. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the hot tub was great after a day out exploring the countryside

Juliet

The cottage is very clean, beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The hot tub, with views over the fields & hills is a real treat. It was lovely to watch the chickens having a dust bath, the rabbits running around and the horses, sheep & cows in the fields. A really fabulous place to stay. Wonderful warm f rom the hosts, Ali & Noreen.

Ally

Fantastic location, little out of the way but also close enough to get places, just what we wanted. House is a good size, we had 2 adults 2 kids and 2 dogs. The outside area is good for the dogs and the hot tubs was a nice addition. Robes and towels supplied along with the bedding which is great when trying to travel light.

Sally

Lovely cottage , amazing views in peaceful location .

Jayna

Cottage was clean, charmingly decorated and very well equipped, made cosy by a log burner (though you have to buy your own wood). Hot tub is lovely place to unwind with stunning views of the hills to look upon. The cottage is attached to the welcoming owners' house but they grant guests plenty of privacy. The location is lovely & remote on a farm b ut a supermarket only a 15 mins drive away. The cottage has board games & books (one of which I enjoyed!) and only a short drive from a train station

This spectacular limestone sea-cave in Sutherland is the largest in Britain and is simply spectacular. The cave was formed by a burn that runs down into the rear chamber, as well as erosion caused by the sea. Guests can take the path from the car park which runs right through the cave. Boat trips are available in the summer months and are an excellent way to fully appreciate the cave from all angles.
