Mary Queen of Scots hunted with her hounds in the woods here hence the name HOUNDWOOD.
Formally ‘Houndwood Coaching Inn’, this beautiful, homely, family run 17th Century Guest House has retained much of it’s character and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Our 6 rooms are all en-suite, double glazed, with most still boasting original shutters. Tasteful modernisation has included, among many others things, a full fire certificate. We have generous, secure, private parking. 

We have earned a reputation for superb fresh local shellfish with crab and langoustine the most popular among guests enjoying our seafood.

Westwoods House lies near the A1 within 5 miles  of the internationally famous St. Abb’s Head Bird Sanctuary and the even more noteable geological feature, Siccar Point.

The surrounding coast and countryside is a haven for bird watchers, ramblers and naturalists alike.

What our guests think Below is an extract from the write-up we got in the October 96 issue of the Sunbeam Talbot magazine ‘Stardust’. The article was written by one of a party of people who stayed with us whilst taking part in a local Vintage Car Rally which although embarrassingly complimentary is also accurate! They are coming back for more of the same in September...

...the rooms were spotless, the welcome warm and genuine and the food - well, we all ordered the seafood banquet for Saturday evening and was it a blow out! Lobster, crab, oysters, prawns, winkles, and oh, those wonderful crayfish that just kept on coming. The quality and quantity of the food was more than enough to satisfy even the most critical diners among us....

Where we are...
A map of the area

Some places of interest (numbers in brackets denote map reference)

Eyemouth (7) - one of Britains most active fishing ports with a fleet of some 80 boats landing primarily langoustine, lobster and crab destined for France & Spain - but we get our share for guests to enjoy!
Burnmouth (6)
- a quaint little fishing village made up of three smaller communities that until the 40's were only 'connected' by sea.
St. Abb's (3)
- a beautiful fishing village that is taken over in the summer by the hundreds of divers enjoying the Voluntary Marine Nature Reserve and it's clear waters. Boat trips available.
Abbey St. Bathan's (8)
An area of outstanding beauty set inland - very popular with walkers.
The Cove (5) A natural harbour that is populated only by birds now but 400 years ago was a thriving fishing port. Access is through an eery hillside tunnel.
Coldingham Bay (4) A beautiful quiet beach still boasting the old fashioned changing huts of a bygone era.

Of International interest:

St. Abb's Head Bird Sanctuary (2) Some 50,000 birds crowd the cliffs in summer.
Siccar Point (1)
A geological site of international importance - the New York museum recently commissioned a latex mold of the rock face for their British Geological Exhibit .
Edinburgh
During August has the world famous 'Edinburgh Tattoo' but the Fringe activities are what many people go for.

There are buses every day travelling up and down the A1 which allow our guests to travel North to Edinburgh or South to Berwick.
Berwick, which boasts the most elaborate battlements in Europe, changed hands between the English and Scottish 13 times! It is the staging post for going South to Holy Island or inland to Galashiels or Melrose or...
The above are just a few of the attractions in this Border area which is thick with Stately Homes and Castles.
