Recommend putting house number on the door. Add a note noting lockbox on side back door. I sent a message to the host several days in advance? No response.

Please let the owner know that I think his smart TV is not working well. Totally unable to get iPlayer or Netflix to work. Would have given 5* for cleanliness but found clothes of a previous guest in a drawer in the upper bedroom when we arrived. However we like this cottage a lot and love the location, so these issues won't put us off considering a return

Great wee cottage
Great quiet location but only 5mins wk to the square, had everything we needed and more, very impressed overall. Loved the sit-out-aree, great addition to the property. Would definitely go back and would recommend.

The cottage was cosy and very comfortable for 2 couples. The location is excellent, very close to the town centre. We had some lovely walks and enjoyed a delicious Italian meal at the restaurant just round the corner. Would definitely stay again when we're back in Melrose.

Charming Borders cottage
Very well appointed cottage located in central Melrose and perfect for touring the Borders. The stairs to the upper bedroom might be difficult for guests with limited mobility.

Short break in the Borders
Great little cottage in a lovely location in the Borders. Well equipped with all you need. Bijou garden with burn and summerhouse. Ideal base for walking in the hills or riverside, or visiting historical locations. We have seen an otter in the Tweed here on a previous occasion.

Quaint cottage.
A lovely cottage with parking outside . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . The stairs aren’t the best for older guests but that’s the style of cottage and we just took our time . The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We ate out so we didn’t use many of the kitchen facilities. We didn’t use the wood burning stove as the cottage was nice and warm with the heating. Comfy,bed ensured good nights sleep . Melrose is a delightful town , so friendly and great independent shops, and plenty of good eating places. Would definitely visit again. Many Thanks Pam & Michael 🥰
