Welcome to Eildon Holiday Cottages
Eildon Holiday Cottages comprises six award-winning modern holiday "cottages" at Melrose in the Scottish Borders. Built of local Melrose stone (a lovely 'old rose' colour) in a secluded site on the edge of the town, the Georgian farmhouse and cottage buildings date back to 1830.

The cottages themselves are spacious, warm, bright and very well equipped. Five of the cottages are Category 1 (suitable for wheelchair users travelling independently) and have very special facilities for disabled and elderly guests. Access is easy and level throughout. In each of the cottages, there is at least one bedroom with shower or bathroom on the ground floor. The facilities for less able visitors are subtle and unobtrusive, to the extent that guests of all abilities will be equally comfortable. The sixth 'cottage' is accessed via a short flight of stairs, and used to be the original Granary room.

The cottages are situated 600 ft up on the slopes of the Eildon Hills with magnificent views over the Lammermuir and Moorfoot Hills beyond. Melrose' 9-hole golf course is within 300 yards of the cottages which are ideally placed for touring the beautiful Scottish Borders countryside on traffic-free roads. Abbotsford, the home of the novelist Sir Walter Scott, is less than 4 miles away and there is much in the area to interest historians, architects and gardeners. Edinburgh and the coast of Northumberland and Berwickshire are an easy hours drive away. St Cuthbert's Way is but a few hundred yards from the cottage entrance.

The cottages are on the edge of Melrose itself, whose Abbey holds the heart of Robert the Bruce and which is one of the most attractive of the Borders towns with its unusual shops and fine eating places. Excellent hill walking, rambling, fishing, horse riding and golf are all available nearby.
