Galashiels and Melrose, both situated within a 20-mile radius, offer a charming blend of distinctive shops, eateries, welcoming inns, art galleries, and the historic Melrose Abbey dating back to the 12th century. Conveniently accessible, the property is well-connected to the city of Edinburgh, just 14 miles away.

During cooler evenings, relish the warmth of cosy nights by the charming wood burner. The spacious dining area sets the stage for enjoyable family meals and the well-equipped kitchen provides all the essentials for culinary adventures. The ground floor also hosts one super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower, and a family bathroom.
