About this property

Nestled within the heart of the quaint town of Melrose in Scotland, is this charming, one-bedroom ground-floor apartment. The Toll House. Named after its superb location set within the town’s historic 17th-century Toll House and enjoying easy access to all the local amenities and Melrose Abbey, The Toll House is an ideal dog-friendly dwelling for a couple and their canine companion who are looking for their next holiday to Scotland. Step into the property, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen, complete with handy washing machine, where you can rustle up a romantic meal, ready to be enjoyed at the dining table for two over a bottle of fizz. After your meal, curl up on the plush sofa and select your favourite film from the Smart TV as the evening’s entertainment. Wash away the day with a refreshing rinse in the large walk-in shower, before climbing into the sumptuous double bed to catch your rest. In the morning, prepare for the day in style with your own dressing area in the bedroom, before heading out to the shared courtyard to savour a steaming cup of coffee as you plan the day ahead. Explore the local town which has so much to offer, including an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, including the Ship Inn, The Provender, as well as the Rak Thai Takeaway if you would prefer to dine in the comfort of The Toll House. Be sure to check out the town’s historic attractions which include the imposing 14th-century Melrose Abbey with its own museum, Abbotsford The Home of Sir Walter Scott, and the Trimontium Museum, if that’s not your thing why not enjoy the delights of the idyllic gardens on offer, including the vibrant Priorwood Garden National Trust for Scotland and the Harmony Garden. If it’s scenic walks you are looking for, you can easily access the famous 62-mile Cuthbert’s Way which begins at the abbey and ends at the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, or perhaps take a stroll across the River Tweed to two superb restaurants, The Hoebradge Inn and Seasons. St Boswells rests nearby and is home to the dog-friendly ground of Dryburgh Abbey, as well as an excellent golf club overlooking the River Tweed and The Scottish Borders Donkey Sanctuary. For a memorable getaway in Scotland, secure your stay at The Old Toll House. EPC Rating: Band C

    Probably no room but a tumble dryer would have been nice. Kitchen could do with a better selection of pans as they were all quite small and only one had a lid. A garlic press would be good too. Single glazing meant it was a bit noisy from passing traffic and pub revellers at the weekend but bed comfy and we slept well. Would stay here again.

    It's a great location. Really clean and comfortable. Lots of little extras we didn't expect. The milk and Tunnocks were a wee lovely added touch, and gratefully received. We will almost certainly be back if we can.
