Situated in the picturesque town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders, this charming vacation home accommodates up to six guests across three spacious double bedrooms. The property boasts an inviting ambiance with its open fire and large picture windows in the reception rooms, providing a splendid view of the Market Square below. This central location allows guests to immerse themselves in the local culture, enjoying a vibrant mix of individual shops, dining options, and various town events, from lively festivals to traditional pipe band competitions.

The interior of the home features a generous kitchen/diner, a comfortable lounge, and a delightful garden area, making it perfect for relaxation after a day of exploration. The upstairs bedrooms offer serene views of the garden and the surrounding landscape, including the floodlit abbey and the majestic Eildon Hills.

Additionally, a short train ride from Tweedbank provides easy access to Edinburgh, where visitors can explore the city's attractions without the hassle of parking. The Great Scottish Tapestry, now permanently located in nearby Galashiels, is another notable attraction worth visiting. The surrounding area also offers opportunities for fishing, swimming, cycling, and hiking, making this vacation home a perfect base for both relaxation and adventure.
