Spindrift

Cornhill-on-Tweed sits on the Scottish border with the Tweed running through it, a quiet village where the pace of life slows considerably. Spindrift is a ground floor apartment positioned to take full advantage of the setting, with windows framing the water and a patio stepping straight out to it. The whole place is yours alone, with two king bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, and space to spread out across a proper kitchen, dining area and comfortable living room. One well-behaved dog can come along at no extra cost.

The apartment runs to a high standard throughout—oak flooring, granite worktops, quality linens. Both bedrooms have French doors opening to outdoor space, one to a front patio with seating, the other to a sheltered courtyard. The kitchen handles real cooking with a ceramic hob, electric oven and dishwasher. Electricity, Wi-Fi, towels and bed linen come as standard. There is private parking for one car and somewhere to lock up bikes.

The Heatherslaw Corn Mill is a short drive away if you want a day out. The village itself is genuinely quiet; this suits couples or small groups looking for somewhere to settle rather than a base for constant activity. No children under 6 years old, and smoking is not permitted indoors.
