Search Galashiels Cottages

"We had a last minute change of plans and I needed to find suitable accommodation for my family of 4. I came across the 'Garden House' in my initial search and compared 5 other similar solutions. None measured up and that was only based on the images. The pictures undersold the property, utterly. The Garden House became a serendipitous highlight of our trip to Edinburgh. The location, setting, layout, preparation, standards, provisions were are excellent. The setting within Oxenford Castle...

"it was very nice and clen"

"We had a lovely stay. As we visited for an event nearby there wasn’t much time to explore the area but the cottage was a great base. The welcome pack was a nice surprise. The dogs loved the large garden and we would definitely return."

"If you are looking for somewhere to recharge your batteries this is the lace to go. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Henrietta provided all the information we needed. We would definitely go back again, we were sad to leave and could have happily stayed for a few more days"

"We loved everything about our stay at Townhead from the glorious views to the cozy and thoughtfully planned house. Communication with the manager and the housekeeping staff before and during the stay was prompt and kind. The welcome drinks and food meant we didn’t have to run into Peebles when we first arrived. We unpacked and would have happily stayed much (much!) longer than a week. It’s a wonderful area to walk and explore but really, you’ll want to stay home and read or write or draw....

"Fantastic property with everything you'd need, or thought you didn't need.... great hosts who were eager to make sure we'd settled in and had everything we needed or any help with suggestions for sight seeing (although great information book supplied). We were new to the area but found the location perfect as a base for exploring near and far. over a few days..plenty to do on your doorstep with shops and eateries with-in Melrose if you don't fancy cooking. Will certainly be returning later in...

"Beautiful scenic location. Property was warm and welcoming, very clean and tidy. Great layout and very well equipped. Great beds, great nights sleep."

"Wonderful spot and very comfortable home."

"Delightfully pretty and quiet spot to visit around the region."

"The property was as advertised and the people who handled the listing were amazing. The cottage was located near the train station so getting to and from the city was very easy. The cottage was very comfortable and met our needs. If we are ever back in the area we will stay here again."

"The cottage, as well as the town were great! Beyond anything we could have imagined for our honeymoon. The locals were friendly and the sights were beautiful! Would greatly recommend and hope to come back again!"

"Good place very convenient for hospital to visit our Aunt. Only comment I couldn’t find a dustpan and brush"

"Fantastic house with all the facilities you would ever need. Great garden for dog. Very friendly and helpful property owner. Highly recommended."

"The property is a lot bigger than the photos portray. Very spacious. There were also two single beds as well as a double in the area upstairs. Very tranquil surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

"We recently stayed at May Cottage and it was just what we needed. The cottage is lovely and much bigger than we anticipated, especially the bedrooms - they’re a really big! Kitchen has everything you need and even though we had taken hand wash and washing up liquid etc, it was all provided. Even dishwasher tablets! The views from the garden are exceptional and it was very quiet. We loved sitting watching the families of swallows flying in and out of their nests and listening their babies...

"Spotlessly clean, well appointed lovely small house. Birdlife just outside the window is astonishing. We didnt leave the property for 2 days! Definitely hoping to go back. A blissful retreat."

"Great location… beautiful property!"

"An excellent property to rent outside of Edinburgh. Perfect for dogs and families. The cottage was warm and well lit when we arrived and the fireplace was already prepped with a basket full of logs. The manager of the property was very friendly and she came over to introduce herself and check we had everything we needed. Strongly recommend and will be going back."

"Delightful little cottage in the grounds of the estate. Well equipped kitchen for a short stay."

"We stayed for 2 nights and loved it. The location was great as we could walk everywhere and Margaret was so easy the communicate with. The lodge was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped. We would definitely stay again."

"Great size room. Quiet. Staff were lovely (no matter what time of the day - even with jetlag)"

"The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Perfect location, walking distance to everything. Wonderful restaurant. Would recommend to anyone visiting beautiful Edinburgh. "

"Beautifully furnished, efficient apt. Close to everything on the Royal mile. Nice view of the Castle from the window. Easy to pick up transportation at this location too. Excellent customer service, super helpful & knowledgeable."
