Outstanding location and a very friendly and helpful administrator. ##### Peter Kleinegris ### 8/10 Good #### Kate H. 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful gardens We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and loved walking around the amazing gardens and wooded areas. The location is excellent being close to many Borders towns. The property was clean apart from the oven which needs a good clean and the pot shelves which were greasy. There was no frying pan large or small so we were unable to cook the steaks we brought with us. There was no welcome letter and no-one called by or phoned to welcome us or check that we had everything we needed. Neither were we provided with a telephone number for the property manager. Despite the lack of customer care we still had a lovely break and the staff in the coffee shop and the gardens were all very friendly. ##### Kate H.

A very warm, quiet, comfortable cottage. Access to the grounds at Mellerstain is a real treat, and makes the cottage special. The area is full of things to do, great walks, lovely country, lots of history. I would happily go again. The wifi works very well (not always the case in holiday rentals) but there is no mobile signal. The kitchen equipment is functional but if you are a keen cook take your 'must haves' with you.
