Eildon Melrose Holiday Cottages & Log Cabins - Hamiltons

Hamiltons is located at Dingleton Mains Farm, two minutes from Melrose's beautiful market square and historic town centre. As a one bedroom cottage it is particularly suited to couples or individuals but it can also work for large groups (we have 6 other holiday cottages on the same site), small families (we can provide cots and high chairs and there's loads of space in the bedroom for a cot) and guests with dogs (dogs must be over 1 year old, max 2 per cottage, £20 charge per dog, please mention when booking). If you like walking, with or without a dog, you will love the fabulous walks from the doorstep and we have a handy hosepipe available to wash off muddy boots or dogs. The 3 peaks of the Eildon hills, right behind the holiday cottages, are an iconic landmark in the area and a good challenge for keen walkers and adventurers. Our holiday cottages are situated on a 2 acre site with an orchard, woods and open garden areas with picnic tables and BBQs. We are accessed via a private road with no passing traffic so children can play safely and dogs can be walked off the lead.

Melrose has a unique mix of independent shops and a superb eateries. For guests wanting to cook, there's a great butcher, two bakers, a greengrocer and a delicatessen all offering fantastic local produce. Or if you prefer a bit more convenience there's also a good Co-op supermarket in Melrose or several large supermarkets in Galashiels, around 5 miles away. For eating out there are several superb restaurants and cafes in Melrose and there's also several takeaway options too that will deliver delicious food to the holiday cottage. We have a list of recommended eateries in our cottage welcome folders to help guests find the best places.

The cottage is all on one level and has one bedroom. The master bedroom can be made up as two single beds or they can be zipped together to make a luxurious super-king size double bed. The beds have deep, comfortable mattresses and cosy all seasons duvets and pillows made from luxury micro-fibre soft as down, there's no feather bedding.

There is a separate wetroom shower room with shower, wash basin and loo.

The spacious living area has a large open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room with amazing views over the countryside of the Tweed valley. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an oven, electric hob, microwave, combi washing machine and tumble drier and refrigerator with small freezer compartment. The crockery is high quality Denby. There is a large chest freezer available in our information hub if you need extra space for any other frozen foods such as ice creams. The information hub also has pin boards and a leaflet rack giving lots of information on the best local attractions.

The cottage is kept cosy at all times by our eco-friendly biomass heating system which is on 24 hours a day with temperature control in the cottage.

Eildon cottage

The cottage was easy to find along a very narrow single-track lane. The setting was lovely with splendid views. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We are familiar with the area so did not need any further information but I am sure it would have been forthcoming if required. A very welcome few days during a busy trip.

Cosy cottage in supurb location

The cottage is very comfortable and has a beautiful view of the hills -and the birds on the bird feeder. The town is a 10 minutes walk away down a tree lined track ., up the hill are good walks. The cottage lovely to return to after a day out. The owner on hand to get advice re walks, restaurants, local history - whatever you want to know.
