Scottish Borders.
Hi! We got the OK last week for Mr. J2 to go for a week without having his dressings changed - yippee! (skin cancer cut out on shin 2 yrs. ago) so, hot-foot, we've booked our first holiday in 3 years -a week in a dog-friendly, self-catering cottage in Denholme (Borders).
I really want to go back top Lindisfarne, so that is top of the list as Mr. J2 has never been. Otherwise I could do with some ideas. I holidayed at Hawick with the kids, but that was in the late '80's. Don't want to waste our time at all - and remember there is a small, slightly nervy dog.
All ideas welcome and thanks in advance.

Possibly a good starting point:

(PS: In case you're googling it, the place you're staying is spelt 'Denholm'. If you enter 'Denholme' you'll end up with loads of information about Bradford!)

Terrific programme, isn't it, mikey? Being a Northerner I have holidayed up there before, but have such limited time so thought I'd ask for advice.
Thank you to everyone who has replied. (taken me from 6.00 p.m. to get on here - OH (upstairs) has been typing away happily for ages - something wrong somewhere).

Yes, all - been to Craster - little blue boats, did a sketch of it and walked up the coast to a castle (good for dog) it will all be new to Mr J2. Starting to make packing lists. Have to have a lesson tomorrow from nurse as to how to apply pressure bandages - did it once or twice in France, but they are stricter here!
I promise to double-check tide tables Jackdaw - at the moment, from memory, Tuesday looks good.

Can't wait to eat them again - but will have to make the 'Wee Nook' next year perhaps. OH has a yen (once free of nurses) to return to S. Germany, where he did his National Service, so we are investigating dog-friendly cottages there next Spring. In fact we were trying to chat to each other in German last night - discovered that a lot of revision has to be done!
