Villa holiday rentals in Melrose

Really enjoyed our stay for a family celebration, great open plan kitchen, living, dining and garden lovely for spending time altogether. Flexible bedrooms - able to make one a twin. Clean, well equipped and luxurious feel. Two full bathrooms. Street is quiet, feels safe and parking easy, no shops, cafes, bars etc. within close walking distance. Bus or Uber both easy to get into city centre and was nice to escape the hustle and bustle after a day sightseeing and at the festival. Suspect price was higher due to time of year and compared to other properties we viewed were very happy we chose this one. Rachel was very prompt with communication, instructions, restaurant recommendations and help when required.

we have just left Howford house after a lovely 3 night weekend stay to celebrate my husbands 40th. we were a family of 14 adults, 2 children and a newborn baby and we had the most peaceful comfortable stay. the house is fantastic, it has everything you need and the location although super private and peaceful, it was near restaurants, the coop supermarket, Traquair House and land which we got discounted because we were house guests, and lots of walks and hikes. the surrounding acres were stunning with the frost and autumn leaves. we all loved our stay, the kids (and the adults) didn't want to leave. special thanks to Elaine the housekeeper who was brilliant with her communication and help. we will recommend and be back in the future.

Nicks place was absolutely amazing! I will definitely be going back - hopefully at some point soon! The house was easy to find and so private - perfect for a large group who didn't want to bother any neighbours! It was ridiculously clean and had absolutely everything you could want. Everything was thought about - music systems, hot tub, karaoke, SO MANY FRIDGES! There was fantastic cooking facilities and everything you could need to cook. The coffee machine was very appreciated too. We didn't realise the house was in a dark sky reserve which meant the stars were soooo clear - helped that we had the best weather, day and night! The walks around the area were fantastic, local amenities were great and our overall stay was extremely memorable. Nick was exceptional, he even came over to help me out with the karaoke machine (which ended up being a "you just need to turn it on" scenario - sorry Nick) and nothing was too much trouble. ps. the beds were so so comfy and we all slept great!

What a fantastic place this is. The photos don’t really show how big this place is. We were on a short family break with 6 adults and 3 kids. The kids had an amazing time in the massive enclosed garden. The hot tub was excellent and the games room a real bonus. The bedrooms were superb and the kitchen and main living area amazing especially the views. I can’t really fault this place, or Rachael who always responded promptly, and would definitely book this place again.

Entering this well appointed, beautiful home, there is a feeling of warmth and relaxation. The skylights bring in the natural light to the bathrooms. The Kitchen is modern and sleek, with everything you need to make a first class meal. The visually stunning, spacious backyard has a wonderful garden. There is a park just behind the house. My daily jog would lead me down to the beach. Here i would do a quick cold plunge- rejuvenating my body. The area is surrounded by a world renowned collection of golf clubs. The Longniddry golf club is a short walk and is a fun track. Thank you for being great hosts.

This house was exactly as advertised. Spacious and beautiful. Perfect for two families. Check in was easy and Jacki was very responsive.
