We had a wonderful stay at Merlindale. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out, with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The setting by the River Tweed is incredibly peaceful and scenic — a perfect place to unwind after days of exploring the area.The space was clean, well maintained, and felt welcoming the moment we arrived. Having two bedrooms and two bathrooms made it especially comfortable, and the self-contained setup was ideal for our stay.The location is great for exploring the surrounding countryside while still feeling tucked away and tranquil. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. Highly recommended.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are in fact very close to many interesting activities and castles and 3 miles from Dawyck Botanic Garden. Edinburgh is 3/4 hour and our prices are a fraction of the capital. Peebles is a very attractive town and Glentress is a welknown for its biking trails , particularly favoured by young people.

Thank you for your review. The area is a National Scenic Area that is protected because of the wild life and the proximity to the River Tweed. We have red squirrels, deer, hares and many rare birds and moths.
We are just 2 miles from the Moffat to Edinburgh A701 which is a renowned route that has scenic views and only 29 miles from Edinburgh.
