- "I've stayed in many places throughout the world, this has to be one of my all time favourites " - "The property was a true find. Wonderful rooms both bedrooms and lounge, dining room etc. Very friendly owners and staff. Would definitely recommend to people who wish to see the Borders of Scotland." - "The house and property are gorgeous, and the owners/innkeepers are lovely. Everything was top notch. The only downside was that it is very hard to find. The directions on the website are not very clear and the sign at the street is very small and easily missed. The sign is a bit misleading too, it just says Fauhope House and then has “private” written under it. Makes it sound like there is another “public” entrance somewhere else. But no this long narrow and bumpy driveway is the way in, and takes you to a beautiful hideaway."

- "The Stables Cottage includes a foyer, eat-in kitchen, sitting room, and bathroom with tub and shower downstairs. The two bedrooms were upstairs plus a bathroom with shower only. We loved every minute. The kitchen had an apartment size/dorm-size refrigerator, double oven with 4-burner stove top, small sink with spigot and dish-drying rack, dishwasher, and washing machine. Plenty of pots, pans, skillets, plates and cups were available. An electric kettle and toaster were also there. Bedrooms had good mattresses, in my opinion. One bedroom has a king-sized bed and the other bedroom has 2 twins. Both bedrooms have mirrors, wardrobes, chests-of-drawers, and bedside lamps. One television was in the king-sized bedroom, and the other was downstairs in the sitting room. Bathrooms were pristine and have either new or nearly new appliances. Both also have exhaust fans and heaters. The drawbacks to the property are few. One was the lack of a dryer and the wifi is weak. However, those are not big deals to us. We would go back to Douglas's cottage in a heartbeat. "

25 Market Square is located in the heart of Melrose overlooking the historic town only minutes away from a wealth of restaurants, cafes and bar food with no driving home! There are many local tourist attractions on your doorstep - Melrose Abbey, Harmony House that hosts the Borders Book Festival, the Greenyards that holds the annual Rugby Sevens and only 2 miles away Abbotsford House with award winning visitor centre, the former home of Sir Walter Scott. It is worth viewing the Trimontium exhibition opposite your front door. The Great Scottish Tapestry now has its permanent home in Galashiels and is also well worth a visit. . Behind the house, there is a patio with table seating for 6 in a pretty garden leading down to a small wood. Just beyond that there is a free (approx. 20 spaces) car park that is only a few minutes walk back to your front door. 25 Market Square provides a wonderful central position from which to enjoy walking, golfing, fishing, riding, exploring local history or simply watching the world go by in this loveliest of Border towns. When you look out of the four, large picture windows of the reception rooms on the first floor, you can relax watching the comings and goings in the Square below. There, the historic Market Cross stands proud and wonderful array of individual shops that including a green grocer, a fishmonger, butchers, as well as a couple of small supermarkets are so easy to pop down to. You will have a grandstand view of the town’s many events, from festivals to pipe band competitions or you might simply choose to relax in comfort in the stylish sitting room or even take refreshments down to the garden.

This delightful property has a spacious kitchen/diner with a gas box fire for colder months as well as a separate sitting room with 2 sofas, a desk and a 2nd gas box fire. The house is also kept warm with gas central heating throughout. Note that both reception rooms can be bathed in sun well into the evening. The small bedroom on this first floor has its own ensuite. The two main double bedrooms are on the floor above and have the house bathroom between them. You can wake up in these bright, east facing rooms where the morning sunshine can be flooding in. From the windows there are lovely views of your garden, Nut-wood, Melrose Abbey (floodlit at night) Priorswood Gardens and one of the Eildon hills, that will transport you from the hustle and bustle of life in the Market Square. There is a third toilet on the ground floor in the inner hallway and the laundry area that leads through to the garden has a washing machine, tumble drier and butler sink and is a useful place to leave muddy boots and golf clubs etc.
One of our favourite morning walks is past the abbey, down to the river Tweed and across the Chain Bridge, where paths lead right or left along the river banks. If you continue straight on you will arrive in the village of Gattonside. Return back across the bridge and right to the Weir Hill, past the famous Melrose rugby ground where the Eildon hills form a magnificent backcloth. Children enjoy stopping at the Gibson park to play on the swings before wandering back through the town and returning home at the top of the High Street.

Different paths lead to the foot of the Eildons and the view of the Border countryside from the top is well worth the climb.

An hour’s journey by train leaving frequently from Tweedbank (3 miles away) transports you to the heart of Edinburgh where you can enjoy a full day visiting the sights without the hassle of having to park in the city.

There are also a variety of
outdoor pursuits in the area that include fishing on the River Tweed, fieldsports, horse riding, golf, lawn bowling, mountain biking, and a selection of walks including the Southern Upland Way, St. Cuthbert’s Way and The Borders Abbeys Way. Several festivals which include the Melrose 7’s Rugby Tournament,
the Borders Book Festival and the Melrose Festival, complete with its ride-out attract visitors, from far and wide. Thank you to our many guests who have left lovely reviews on-line and helpful ideas in our visitors book with suggestions of favourite places to visit and eat out. Hopefully you, too, will enjoy a wonderful visit to the beautiful Scottish Borders, Melrose and our Townhouse overlooking the Market Square.

The apartment is situated on the main high street in Melrose and is a convenient 2 minute walk to local shops, pubs, restaurants and Melrose Rugby Club. Only a 5 minute walk to Melrose Abbey and a 10 minute walk to the River Tweed. The property was spotless when we arrived. It was beautifully presented and fully stocked with everything we needed. The welcome gift basket was exceptional and so very generous. We had arrived from an international flight in the evening with no supplies. We had been left food to cook an evening meal and also a full breakfast the following morning, along with snacks and drinks that lasted us all week. It was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. Communication from the letting agent was excellent. I was given all the information for arrival, gate and lockbox codes, directions, etc well in advance of arrival.

- "My husband, myself and our little dog had the most wonderful week at The Smiddy. The views are amazing as is the accommodation. Everything you need and more is supplied. All beautifully clean and all equipment is very good quality. It gave us a few ideas for our own property. Would definitely recommend and will definitely rebook if ever visiting the Borders again. We used it as a base for sight seeing but more often than not we would head back mid afternoon to just sit and relax and take in the wonderful views. Either from the patio of from the lounge. The bi folding doors were great to open if it got a bit chilly as September weather often can. Lovely watching the sheep graze at the end of the garden. We didn’t need to contact anyone whilst we were there. But clear instructions if we needed too. It was a very good week away and wish we were back there."

But, we were particularly and pleasantly surprised to find our VRBO accommodations at the Hope Scott Wing to be excellent! The house is both comfortable and impressive. And, Donald and Diane (our contacts at Abbotsford) were extremely helpful in setting up this visit, including great suggestions as to things to do in the area, catering, etc. Some of our group took the opportunity to fish on the River Tweed, which looked fun (I wasn't one of the fishermen).
