"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."

"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."

"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."

"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...

"The property was nice and clean enough to sleep 8 peoples and more. Very comfortable and nothing lacking, the host has provided everything needed. Lovely communal areas and outside space. We've enjoyed the seen and the walk to St Mary's Loch. Would recommend and go again :)"

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

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

"This property is in a perfect location to enjoy the beautiful village and be “at home.” We met so many friendly and helpful people and enjoyed shopping, biking, hiking and driving."

"Stayed at the cottage with family, the cottage is gorgeous, absolutely clean to the core and the hosts are so lovely making the whole stay such a heart warming experience. Everything from check in process to the stay to check out was smooth and Lucy is so helpful. There we lovely delicious welcome cookies for the boys the cottage was warm homely and cosy. The boys had a lovely time walking around the farm, they do have duck and badger trails which are really fun with beautiful views of the...

"This is a superb cottage, finished to an excellent standard and very well equipped. There is no phone signal or WiFi which some people may not like but for us that just added to the feel of having a proper getaway in The Borders countryside. You can’t walk on the immediate estate but that really doesn’t matter as there are plenty of walks in the area. What made a big difference was the warm welcome from Julie who looks after the property and who provided a number of extras for us on arrival,...

"Super lieve mensen die het beheren. Prachtig huis met veel ruimte. Uitzicht ook ontzettend mooi. Je wordt elke ochtend begroet door eekhoorns en fazanten. Echt een aanrader voor iemand die houdt van rust en ruimte. Kwaliteit van de Wifi is helaas wat minder."

"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"

"We asked that a different email be used on 9/4 as i no longer have access to the email used. No acknowledgment of this was received. Again we asked on 9/22, the day before our checkin, that you use our new email provided. Absolutely no response to our request, no one responded to our request or answer the "emergency" no. We received the passcode by text, and a response TO that text went unanswered as well. Extremely disappointed. Will not use Vrbo again."

"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...

"The pictures don't do it justice. The accommodation was a pleasure to spend time in. It was spacious, warm, and comfy. The area is beautiful and conveniently close to everything we need without being in town. The hosts were welcoming, and communication was smooth and prompt. We'd love to thank the hosts for a wonderful stay, and we will definitely be back. were warm and welcoming."

"Accommodation was perfect. Old charming school home full of character. Plenty of space and nice gardens. Only issue is the driveway is hard to find and get out of but that aside there were no issues."

"The cottage is in a courtyard of a small stately home but it is really quiet and peaceful. We saw a deer in the grounds at dusk and were hoping to see otter or badgers (there were footprints). Plenty of swans and even nesting cormorants in the trees. The property has everything you need ... plenty of kitchen equipment if you wish to cook in, warm and cosy and a lovely area to visit."

"Very clean, very quiet and comfortable. Excellent location. with beautiful views of scenery and bird life. Good places for meals in Kelso if needed. Very quiet roads and many interesting and beautiful places to visit."
