Tucked away on the edge of the bustling Borders town of Coldstream this charming period house offers guests the best of both worlds.
A wonderful country home
The large, attractive, walled garden which surrounds the house is a peaceful, secluded haven with superb views over the Nun's Walk, the River Tweed and out to Flodden Field and the Cheviot Hills beyond. Yet Coldstreams' pubs and shops are all within a few minutes' walk from the house.
Abbey House has the feel of a wonderful country home, presented to a high standard throughout including a superb handmade kitchen and four beautifully-presented bedrooms each with their own bathroom. The cosy interior makes the most of the many charming, period features including an original inglenook fireplace and bread oven, Venetian style windows and a restored open fire place in the sitting room. The style is one of relaxed elegance with classic furnishings, cosy fabrics, stripped wood floors in the dining room and drawing room and many interesting antique pieces dotted around the house.
Outside the pretty, sheltered walled garden offers fabulous river views and is fully-enclosed offering privacy and a safe environment for children and dogs. As the sun moves around the garden there are lovely sunny spots for a morning coffee spent watching the fishermen try their luck on the famous Monument Pool below the house or a barbecue on the terrace overlooking the river on a summer's evening.
