We enjoyed every part of our holiday. It’s a beautiful, well appointed, implacably clean home in the most picturesque of locations. We can’t wait to return !!!
Amazing modern lodge in a stunning location, so peaceful and not too far away from the village of Melrose, would highly recommend for a relaxing break. Loved sitting in the hot tub watching the abundance of wildlife in the fields next door!

Thank you for the brilliant review, so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in the log cabin and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you back soon :)
I stayed here for the weekend with my family and dogs, this lodge is one of the best places we have ever visited. Pictures dont do the scenery justice, it is an absolutely stunning location with plenty to do. Beautiful walks right out the front door and brilliant dog friendly pubs near by. Could not recommend this place more highly!! The lodge itself is immaculate, bedding is luxurious and it provides everything you need and more. The wood fire hot tub was a firm favourite of ours! Will definitely be back, thanks for having us x

This is an excellent place to stay, perfect location with countryside views, but still walking distance to the local town. Very well equipped, well maintained and clean.
