Overall Ratings & Reviews The Merchant's House

The property is a beautiful historic home with fun trap doors and hiding places from the original owner's tea smuggling days. It has a wonderful open living and dining area with an expansive view of the town of Eyemouth. We had easy access to restaurants in town (we watched the fresh fish delivered daily), scenic hiking trails and the golf course on the hill behind the house. We also spent a day surfing in Coldingham Bay only a stone's through away. The first floor of the property is often used as an event space and was used during our stay, but there was really no inconvenience to the situation. We could hear the setup and music from the event, but other than that, our privacy was never invaded. Great communication and well appointed space. Only drawback we saw was that there was only a washing machine and no dryer. We had many clothes lying about to dry...but there were ample drying racks! Would definitely recommend for the ambiance and convenience. Lovely stay!
