10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Our cottage and everything about the Borders charmed us. Douglas was very helpful and gave us excellent advice on restaurants and attractions like Melrose Abbey, Abbortford House, and of course, the many walking paths.
My childhood friend and I had a beautiful vacation.
I wish we had had more time to spend there.

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.

Nice rural location. Pleasant walk of about an hour into Melrose via Leaderfoot bridge and sight of Trimontium.
The cottage was cold when we arrived. We used the electric heaters provided but they weren’t quite up to the job. Cottage could have been a bit cleaner.
Good parking and WiFi.
