Coldingham Sands is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike, a picturesque and friendly conservation village with a beautiful, sheltered beach area patrolled by RNLI Lifeguards during the main holiday season. Located in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland. Whether you're looking to relax and soak up the sun or take a refreshing swim in the sea, there is something here for everyone, so don’t forget your wetsuits and there’s a local surf shop where you can hire bodyboards, paddleboards and kayak’s when the sea conditions are safe. There is also a beach café in the summer months. Additionally, the beach is surrounded by charming villages and historic landmarks, and a network of coastal paths to explore as part of the area’s vast National Nature Reserve, not forgetting the pretty harbour, fishing boats, and sea food eateries in nearby St. Abbs (1.3 miles).

This beautiful coastal retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind with family and friends. With its stunning views of the ocean and its comfortable, stylish interior, it's the ideal place for a memorable seaside vacation. Head into the lounge area which is cosy and inviting, with a wood burner providing warmth on chilly evenings, the perfect place to relax and read a book or watch a movie on the Smart TV. Leading through from here is the kitchen/diner, which is spacious and bright, offering breathtaking views of the ocean. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the modern amenities you could need to cook up a meal to enjoy together around the dining table. There is a handy utility area along with an additional WC, ideal for washing off the sand or needing to wash those salty clothes. The two bedrooms are spacious, one with a double bed and en-suite shower room, and another with four adult-sized bunk beds, perfect for groups or families. The bunk bedroom features a Smart TV for entertainment. Completing the property is the main bathroom, perfect for starting the day afresh or relaxing at the end of a busy day in a bath of bubbles.

Cottage a little bit tired now, obviously a long time since the pictures on website were taken. It is worth noting there is no outside space accessed directly from the property to sit out, only communal grass, & no access from the property to the grounds facing the sea without walking around the entire building.
