Berwickshire Apartments: Cedar cottage

Cedar Cottage is set in its own secluded garden beside the Estate's historic walled garden and looks onto fields grazed by sheep. This sunny, warm, spacious cottage is ideal for couples, bird-watchers, family holidays, walkers, fishermen and golfers and is also right beside the Estate's private tennis court. Duns Castle itself is visible from the cottage and, just a short walk away, guests can enjoy the Estate's private grounds, frequented by Swans, Ducks and other wildfowl, and Duns Law, site of the old town of Duns and the Covenanter Fort. Today, cattle and sheep are often to be seen grazing upon its slopes. Cedar Cottage also sits on the edge of woodland, with access to extensive forest trails and a large variety of mature trees, many bearing identification plates to inspire the curious. The woods are home to Roe Deer, Pheasants, Squirrels and Owls. The cottage itself is easily accessible, yet secluded and guests can often enjoy starlit nights and bathe in the tranquillity of it all.
