Merrihaven - Clifftop Cottage with Sea Views

St Abbs is a tranquil haven from the stresses of modern life, where you and your family can make memories which will last a lifetime. Our cosy fishermen's cottage is perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea. You can enjoy walks with spectacular views around St Abb's Head Nature Reserve, then sit and relax above the harbour watching the fishing boats. Splash in the clear North Sea waters or just build sandcastles at the beautiful sandy beach. St Abbs is a place you'll cherish forever. The space Our cottage is tucked away at the quiet end of the village, with a pretty garden and views out to the sea. It sleeps six comfortably, with a double bedroom on the ground floor, and a twin and double upstairs in the eaves. The twin beds can be joined to make a king-size bed on request. Also on the ground floor is a modern accessible bathroom with both a bath and a large walk-in shower. The bright, modern kitchen and dining area is filled with natural light, while the spacious sitting room at the front offers reclining leather armchairs, a sofa, and TV, perfect for relaxed evenings in. The cottage is centrally heated throughout via an air source heat pump, and includes a washing machine and tumble dryer for longer stays. As we manage the cottage ourselves alongside full-time work, changeovers are on Saturdays, so during peak season we take week-long bookings only. In the quieter winter months we’re more flexible, feel free to enquire if you’re looking for a shorter stay. Guest access There is on street parking at the rear of the house. You don't have to worry about parking charges or traffic wardens in St Abbs. The front gate opens directly onto the coastal path, where you can walk to the harbour in a few minutes or to the beautiful sandy beach of Coldingham Sands in the other direction. It is 1.5 miles along the 'Creel Path' to the nearby village of Coldingham with two traditional pubs, as well as a butchers, corner shop, and curiosity shop. A railway station opened at Reston (4 miles away) in 2022, and there is also a mainline station at Berwick-upon-Tweed (10 miles away) which is connected to St Abbs by a bus service. The bus also serves Coldingham and Eyemouth. Eyemouth is the local shopping town with a good range of local shops and takeaways. You can drive to Berwick in about 20 minutes, or to Edinburgh in an hour. Other things to note There is a self-contained 'granny-flat' attached to the cottage which we sometimes use for ourselves or family and friends. We will ensure this doesn't disturb you.
