1 / 18Castle Barns Cottage
Hutton, Scottish Borders
A cottage for four at Hutton near Berwick with an enclosed garden, a charcoal BBQ and a farm shop next door, one dog welcome.
There is a farm shop next door that sells eggs. It is a small thing and it sets the tone for Castle Barns Cottage, a dog friendly cottage for four at Hutton where a welcome pack is waiting on arrival and the enclosed garden behind holds seating and a charcoal BBQ. The allowance is a single dog, and it gets that garden entirely to itself.
Two bedrooms, a double and a twin, share one bathroom with a shower over the bath. The lounge has a Smart TV, and there is a cot and a highchair for anybody travelling with the very young. The cottage stands alongside a working farm as one of a small group of converted buildings, but the enclosed garden belongs to it alone, which is the distinction that matters when the back door opens and the dog goes out.
One dog changes the shape of a week in a way that people with two tend to forget. There is a single animal to watch on a lane, one to dry off, one to lift into the back of a car, and the whole operation becomes simpler. The garden is enclosed and the farm is immediately beyond it, so the ordinary business of a day happens within about 30 yards of the back door and the driving gets saved for whatever is genuinely worth driving to.
The coast is what is worth driving to. Thorntonloch's sand lies 16.7 miles north, and nearer at hand the Berwickshire shore runs through Eyemouth's working harbour to Coldingham Bay, a sheltered curve of sand backed by beach huts and open to dogs. Inland the Tweed threads west through Norham and Coldstream, and Duns and Chirnside cover everything practical.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Castle Barns Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Castle Barns Cottage welcomes one dog. The cottage has an enclosed garden that belongs to it alone, so your dog has a private outdoor space to use freely without you needing to worry about shared areas or neighbouring guests.
Are dogs allowed at Castle Barns Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the host directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the enclosed garden and easy access to the surrounding area make it a practical base whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Castle Barns Cottage with my dog?
The allowance is for a single dog only, so it isn't suitable for households with two or more. The enclosed garden leads directly onto a working farm, so the immediate surroundings are rural and you'll want to be mindful of that when your dog is out — though the garden itself is secure and private.
