Sleeping up to four guests, it overlooks a beautiful walled garden and sits close to the River Tweed. Inside, the welcoming living room features a deep sofa and two armchairs around a wood-burning stove, while the country-style kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed self-catering. A steep staircase leads to the bedrooms — one king and a flexible second bedroom that can be set up as a king or twin — and forms part of the cottage’s character, though it may not be suitable for the elderly or those with restricted mobility. The modern bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower is located downstairs. The location is a dream for outdoor enthusiasts — enjoy tennis, fishing, and a wealth of walking and mountain biking trails right from the doorstep, including access to the Southern Upland Way. The world-class Glentress Mountain Biking Centre is nearby, and the area offers historic houses, championship golf courses, and beautiful gardens to explore. For a change of pace, hop on a nearby train and be in the centre of Edinburgh in under an hour. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,041 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39680000/39670400/39670397/9c73ef4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kennels Cottage - Countryside charm at The Yair in The Scottish Borders By Galashiels - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 6 reviews CA $502 CA $502 total includes taxes & fees Dec 19 - Dec 20 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-19&endDate=2025-12-20&selected=39670397&PinnedHotelID=39670397&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18975700/18975659/02d9b522.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### No 1 Braefoot Cottage - country retreat on the River Tweed at The Yair Galashiels - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 16 reviews CA $541 CA $541 total includes taxes & fees Dec 23 - Dec 24 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-23&endDate=2025-12-24&selected=18975659&PinnedHotelID=18975659&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65400000/65396500/65396429/5be2b3a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A charming 2 bed cottage in the heart of the popular borders village of Melrose.
