Greenloaning, delightful Pet Friendly Cottage In the beautiful Scottish Borders

Greenloaning is a delightful traditional semi-detached cottage situated on the edge of the peaceful conservation village of Allanton. Comfortable and cosy, with a large enclosed garden and views over the surrounding countryside it has been completely renovated and is traditionally furnished to a high standard. It is very well equipped and offers full central heating as well a log burning stove. The cottage is perfectly located to enjoy all that the area has to offer including walking; golf; fishing; cycling; riding; the local historic houses and castles such as Alnwick Castle (Harry Potter), Bamburgh Castle on the beach, Floors Castle and Manderston with its silver staircase; the stunning coastline with the pretty harbour at St Abbs, and the lovely beach at Coldingham with its surfing facilities, as well as locally based quad biking, sailing, canoeing, and clay pigeon shooting etc. In the village itself, and a very short walk away, is one of the best local pubs/restaurants in the area serving real ales and wonderful food (and recently voted in the Times newspaper as one of the top 50 pubs for alfresco dining).

Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay at Greenloaning. The cottage has everything you need (including a generous welcome pack), very clean and the bed is so comfortable…the bedrooms are like hotel rooms! It is also in a perfect location for visiting the surrounding area and not far from the many beautiful beaches. Our dogs loved the large secure garden and Lowry also provides dog bowls which is fantastic as I forgot to take ours! Would definitely recommend to anyone going to the Scottish Borders.

Beautiful cottage in heart of the countryside
We absolutely loved Greenloaning. Tucked away and bordered by fields. The enclosed (huge) secure garden was heaven for our two little terriers who loved exploring all the nooks and crannies. The bed was so comfortable and we slept so well. Everything you needed was provided. Lowri left us a lovely welcome pack that was most appreciated after our long drive. Thank you so much!

If you enjoy nature you will enjoy this
Gorgeous cottage with a huge enclosed garden that was safe for kids and dog to run around freely. Within 15 miles you hit gorgeous,Sandy beach that we were blessed with weather to visit every day. Many places to visit and would recommend Paxton House for the day as lovely walks and gardens. Will definitely visit again and can’t recommend enough. Due to covid owner had to replace washing machine with dishwasher. Not there fault, however we did miss the use of one when staying a week, with kids and beach visits, walks etc. This didn’t put us off however would probably stay for a shorter period in future if covid continues to cause issues for owners of residences where there is only room for one appliance. Totally recommend as the cottage is beautiful, homely and very clean.

Wonderful Cottage in beautiful area
The cottage is quiet, charming, warm and cosy and with wonderful fittings and furnishings. I have high standards and the sheets were glorious cotton, kitchen items were vastly superior to your usual ikea standard, hangers galore, everything to make you feel at home from home. Lowri provided us with a wonderful welcome pack and plenty of wood for the fire which was used daily as our weather was inclement. Allanton is a lovely small village surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a great pub and easy access to all attractions. We tried 3 of Lowri’s recommended restaurants and they were all excellent. Thank you Lowri for a really wonderful week!

Magical Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Greenloaning, it was very clean and very comfortable. Situated in a quiet little village with lovely walks around and a great little pub to visit each evening. Not far at all from the Northumberland coast and the beautiful beaches of the Scottish Boarders. The cottage was definitely home from home and had everything you needed to make your stay perfect. There was even a welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits, bread etc. We would definitely stay here again if we were back in the area, thanks very much Lowri.

Perfect Cozy cottage
This was so nice we did not want to leave! The cottage had a lovely homely feel. The Welcome Pack contained more than the bare the essentials in case we had not had time to shop. The assorted dog bowls and dog towels welcomed my Collie. The stove was a huge hit. The beds were comfy and the big all-enclosed garden was ideal for my dog..The shower was lovely, hot and powerfiul.. We cannot wait to find a reason to return!

Lovely cosy cottage in rural Borders
A very comfortable cottage with lots of special touches. It’s clear the owners take a great deal of pride in their cottage and want their guests to have the best holiday possible. The lounge seating is very comfortable with a lovely log burner for atmosphere, and books and games when the weather’s not quite what you hoped for! Plenty of hot water for showers or baths and a well stocked kitchen. A fabulous welcome basket greeted us on arrival and the Inn over the road was lovely and welcoming with great food. My favourite thing was the bedroom which is wonderfully relaxing and the kids enjoyed the park being a stone’s throw away. There is so much to do in the region too that the only thing you’ll regret is not booking longer!
