The property features a small front patio area with furniture and a BBQ for outdoor dining. While pets are welcome, guests are reminded to supervise their dogs and take them off the property grounds for toilet duties, as the courtyard area is not secure.

Chirnside itself is steeped in history and beauty, taking its name from an ancient cairn and perched between the historic walled town of Berwick-on-Tweed and Duns. The village is renowned for its stunning gardens and offers a scenic view of the Tweed Valley and the distant Cheviots. Just eight miles away, visitors can find the sandy beaches of Coldingham and Eyemouth, along with attractions such as Maderston, Mellerstain, Paxton House, and Ayton Castle. The Hirsel and Duns Castle Estate grounds are open to the public, as is the St Abbs Head nature reserve, which is managed by the National Trust, providing a rich array of outdoor experiences for nature lovers.
The surrounding region of Duns is characterized by its natural beauty, featuring the Duns Castle Nature Reserve and St Abbs Head National Nature Reserve. Cultural highlights include The Jim Clark Room and the Eyemouth Maritime Centre, while families can explore Eyemouth Museum or enjoy activities at The Swan Centre for Leisure. The area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, offering ecotours and opportunities for fishing, walking, and bird-watching along the River Tweed. With a mix of scenic landscapes and historical significance, The Coach House serves as an excellent base for exploring the rich offerings of the Scottish Borders.
