Charming Campsie Cottage 🏡We adored reading this lovely feedback from recent guest Jessica:“We really had an utterly perfect few days at Campsie Cottage. We loved our morning walks to the river where our dogs enjoyed a dip before heading to the fantastic @mainstreethare for a daily cup of coffee before exploring further afield: we went to Kelso, @floorscastle, Bamburgh and Holy Island! In the evenings we didn’t venture far, the local pub is a hidden gem and so close to the cottage. We also fell head-over-heels for the gorgeous interiors - they are so soothing and comfortable. The beds were just a dream to sleep in too - we can’t wait to return next year!”
Here's to another weekend full of exploring and sunshine 🥂

We love this video of @theweekendenthusiast toasting the start of her stay at The Loovre: our tiniest abode and a one-of-a-kind studio space in a former Victorian loo. Nestled in a quiet corner of Berwick-upon-Tweed within the Elizabethan Walls, The Loovre is easy to reach by train and is ideally located for exploring the historic town, its independent shops, cafes and galleries as well as many sandy beaches along Northumberland's spectacular Heritage Coast.

"I can't get over how peaceful it is here, just the sound of blackbirds, house martins, owls, lapping water and the occasional salmon fisherman on the Tweed. And the hares and little rabbits dashing around in the evening. Bliss." Sometimes the best thing about a holiday is simply stopping to savour the simple things like @sophielamtravel who recently stayed at Hamilton House, an elegant Scottish borders cottage ideally located next to a tranquil bend in the River Tweed. ⠀

Fishing The Tweed at Dryburgh Estate
As of today the River Tweed is officially open for the 2022 fishing season. Meandering through beautiful, unspoilt landscapes the legendary 100-mile river is steeped in history and tradition. And, is regarded by many as the ultimate salmon fishing river.
⠀
At C&C we have dozens of fantastic properties located in prime locations along this beautiful river - a whopping 12% of the C&C portfolio is located within one mile of the Tweed or its tributaries. Perfect for keen anglers as well as those that simply just like to spend time on its banks enjoying the views, wildlife and peace and quiet, our riverside cottages are not only supremely comfortable but offer great views and superb on-the-doorstep fishing. One of our favourite spots is the Dryburgh Estate - home to eight fishing properties of various sizes. Here's @patrick_tillard trying out some of Dryburgh's best local beats last season. We can't wait for those long summer days on the river 🎣⠀
