The pretty town of Coldstream sits on the northern bank of the river Tweed and is famous as the home of the Coldstream Guards. As a former rival to Gretna Green, this charming little town performed its fair share of illicit marriages. With a museum dedicated to its famous guards, a wide variety of shops and facilities for horse riding, golfing and fishing nearby, this historic settlement has something for everyone to do. The picturesque estate of The Hirsel is set to the west of the town and was once home to former Prime Minister, Alec Douglas. The estate is now a great spot for bird watching and many species choose to nest there. The Scottish borders and the rest of Northumberland are all within easy driving distance, making this a great location for people looking to explore the wider area.
Reviews
"Just spent a week at the carriage House in Coldstream and it was superb! Very generous accommodation laid out over four floors but even those with restricted mobility can stay in the ground floor en suite bedroom. A real home from home! Everything we needed and more and the beds were super comfy. Good location, we managed to visit Alnwick Gardens, Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, East Links Farm Park and even a local leisure centre on the one rainy day we had. Gorgeous walks around coldstream too, property is right across the road from the Hirsel Estate. Owner is on hand if needed and generous welcome basket was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend a visit to the Carriage House, loved every minute and we were sad to leave our little castle! "
"Brilliant stay last week. Clean, tidy, comfortable beds, property large enough for 7 of us not to be on top of us all the time. The play room was a great addition for people with children! They left us a welcome basket with essentials in which was a lovely surprise! We sat on the balcony on the first night drinking prosecco in the evening sun. Location perfect both in terms of nearby walkable facilities and for visiting Scotland and Northumberland. The local Indian is highly recommended! Highly recommended! "
"Black mould in kitchen / bathroom ants running around all over cobwebs everywhere bottom half of shower missing bathroom mat full of other peoples hairs , other people hairs between quilt and cover after walking around your socks were covered in hair dust everywhere rust on radiators . The in house booklet advices us we had to strip the beds sweep all floors and mop all floors and Hoover . All the furniture was all different from the 1960-1980 just cheap like a hostel We left after 3 days It was booked through the other couple we went with and because we are not the lead name on the booking paperwork we are not. Allowed to make a complaint Mr & Mrs Craig , Lincolnshire"
"I have taken the time to share this review anywhere i can. We had a superb time in this stunning property. My family and i had a wonderful Christmas stay here. The massive welcome pack, the chocolate santas in every room, the fully christmas decorated living room, It was just stunning. The rooms were all individual and beautifully decorated. We had to turn the heat down, throughout the house, even though it was freezing outside. The grounds and walks right outside our door, were incredible. Strolling down to the banks of the Tweed on Christmas morning, covered in snow was just breathtaking. We will be booking up again soon. Thankyou so much Vicky for allowing us to have a wonderful Christmas at your gorgeous house, the memories will stay with us forever."
"We had a lovely stay here - enjoyed the roof garden, loved the friendly village and we were so convenient for lots of interesting holiday musts. Would come again for sure."
"We had a great week in Coldstream, the week of Flodden Field celebrations including torchlit procession and fireworks, lots of pipers, etc. Walks in the Hirsel Estate very calming and great trips around local towns and to the coast. A relatively easy drive to Edinburgh on our one sunny day. Facilities and layout very handy, especially for us - family of four with single friend who didn't need to be involved in all the squalor of family life. Rain among the most torrential we've ever seen and the river flooded at the end of the drive - all good fun as long as you don't get too hung up about it."
