Situated in Melrose in the Borders region, Pear Cottage - Priorwood Garden features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The nearest airport is Edinburgh Airport, 70 km from Pear Cottage - Priorwood Garden.

Overlooking Melrose Abby and Priorwood Gardens, Pear Cottage is a self-catering apartment in the historic old town of Melrose. Updated with modern conveniences, it still retains its old world charm. It was clean and spacious. The bedroom was in the back of the unit so it was quiet. The on-site parking was a bonus. Helen Stewart, who manages it for the National Trust of Scotland, was genuine, kind, helpful, and a pleasure to talk to.

Pergola Cottage is situated in Melrose. The property features quiet street views. The accommodation features free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a restaurant.

The nearest airport is Edinburgh Airport, 69 km from Pergola Cottage.

Pergola Cottage is a lovely place to stay - well-appointed, very clean and perfectly situated for exploring the Borders - the Abbeys, Abbotsford, Traquair House and so forth. And after nearly 2 weeks in B&Bs, it was nice to be able to spread out and have a little more space to ourselves. The bed and furniture were comfy. Having our own equipped kitchen (w/garden view!) and washing machine was especially nice; there’s a small grocer in nearby (and also lovely) Melrose - the Co-Op on High Street - where you can pick up the essentials, like coffee (French Press!).

Located in Melrose in the Borders region, Harmony Cottage - Harmony Gardens has a garden. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The nearest airport is Edinburgh Airport, 70 km from Harmony Cottage - Harmony Gardens.

To be honest everything. Just 2 minutes walk from the centre of Melrose, 5 minutes walk to the river Tweed. To say the cottage has character would be a gross understatement, the name says it all. If it came up for sale I would buy it in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a romantic break to rekindle or start a relationship this is the place.

    A home away from home, it was a perfect stay for us. Jane was so welcoming when I arrived and it’s clear to see so much thought & attention has gone into Mill Cottage Garden Studio. The bed was so comfy, we had everything we needed and it was a lovely private & relaxing place to stay. Although it’s new to booking.com, we know it’ll do well and we’d recommend to all to definitely book!

    The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The cottages were spacious, clean, and cosy, with very comfortable beds and great WiFi. Their location was also perfect for visiting the Great Tapestry of Scotland (10mins drive) and a number of the historic Abbeys in the Borders. Would love to stay here again in the future!

    We were given a very warm reception at Broomfields Country House, with tea and shortbread served to us in the delightful garden with splendid views of the surrounding countryside. Our host Martin was friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and we made use of an attractive lounge to imbibe a wee dram (courtesy of Broomfields) before bed. Breakfast was good. The property is in a good location, close to Melrose.

    Broomfield Country House is situated in a beautuful location. The owners are warm and friendly and ensure that you have a perfect stay. Their house is spotlessly clean. The garden bedroom is peaceful and secluded. On arrival, tea and shortbread served in the lovely garden was a welcome treat. The breakfast was amazing with an excellent selection of delicious food served in a cosy dining room complete with log fire. We would highly recommend this property.
