Description

Set back from Melrose High Street with easy access to nearby Gibson Park, Eildon View is an attractively restored stone cottage that offers a winning location in the heart of this picturesque town.

Within five minutes’ stroll of the town’s most popular sights, including Melrose Abbey, Priorwood Gardens and the Trimontium Museum, Eildon View nonetheless feels removed from the bustle with views across to the Eildon Hills and a tranquil shared rear courtyard in which to enjoy meals and drinks al fresco.

The ground floor offers a well-appointed kitchen with dining table, a comfortable sitting room with inviting plaid sofas and a guest bathroom with shower. Two cosy double bedrooms each offering views over the courtyard, are found on the upper floor, together with another contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower.

With so much to explore directly on the doorstep of this urban bolthole, there’ll barely be time to appreciate its comforts! In addition to the attractions of Melrose itself, which range from the Abbey and Roman museum to cutting-edge restaurants like Provender (handily located next door) and annual Borders Book Festival, there are plenty of options slightly further afield as well. Sir Walter Scott’s magical mansion, Abbotswood, is only 1.5 miles away, while the grand stately homes and gardens of Manderston, Mellerstain, Floors Castle and Thirlestane are also easy to reach.

Location

Set in the very heart of the country that inspired the writings of Sir Walter Scott, you will find some of the best independent shopping in the area with Melrose Abbey as the beautiful backdrop.

An enjoyable afternoon can be spent browsing the range of interiors, gift, craft and boutique style shops around the pretty Market Square before afternoon tea or supper at one of the many convivial coffee shops or restaurants. Browse the lovely Henderson’s for gifts and vintage finds; Sarah Thomson or Twelve for ladieswear; the beautiful hand-sewn Harris Tweed garments from Jane Hall at The Crafters; or Masons bookshop for a good holiday read.

For coffee and cake, pop into Apples for Jam for a steaming cappuccino and a delicious cream sponge, or head to the Town House, Provender, Burts or Marmions which all come highly recommended. Alternatively take a walk along the river and over the suspension footbridge to Gattonside for excellent food at either Seasons restaurant or the Hoebridge Restaurant.

You will find an excellent range of shops selling fine quality food and drink here including The Country Kitchen for deli produce, cheeses, whole foods and fresh coffees; Dalgetty’s Bakery, makers of the original Selkirk Bannock; Baird’s Butchers for locally sourced produce as well as freshly prepared homemade meals which are perfect for holiday stays. You will also find a quality fishmongers, a fresh fruit & veg shop as well as two small convenience stores.
