Apr 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stately Home fun! The cottage is in a courtyard of a small stately home but it is really quiet and peaceful. We saw a deer in the grounds at dusk and were hoping to see otter or badgers (there were footprints). Plenty of swans and even nesting cormorants in the trees. The property has everything you need ... plenty of kitchen equipment if you wish to cook in, warm and cosy and a lovely area to visit. ##### Anne R.

Over all it was very good , with a couple of not very important issues. On arriving we had no way of knowing where the key would be. The shower in one room was broken. This was rectified by the Housekeeper. ##### Keith R.

We loved the setting and the surrounding gardens. The cottage was ideal for our group although the kitchen was not a good layout for cooking a meal for six. We could have done with a facility to dry clothes, perhaps a tumble dryer. In spite of that we had a great week and have recommended it to others. We hope to have a return visit. ##### David This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shammika Jun 21, 2019 #### Cottage is in a beautiful location.

A very peaceful location at Mellerstain House, one of the great Adam houses. Kelso is fairly close and it makes a good base for discovering the Border country. Our only complaint was that there is no shower in the main bathroom, only a bath. A shower fitted above the bath would be a worthwhile investment. ##### Robert
