Set in beautiful formal gardens of a 15th century castle & noble estate, hugely historic - even stayed in by Mary Queen of Scots. The garden rooms are stone vaulted, self contained & accessed by a private green courtyard, complete with fountain. We are a short drive from Melrose Abbey, Floors Castle & Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott. The beautiful unspoilt River Leader valley is on the doorstep. Sensitively & stylishly refurbished. Romantic, unique, comfortable. Essential Scottish Borders
The space
Cosy and bright, with down a flight of stairs and into a small private fountain garden, 12th - 14th century vaults converted into a small private sitting room and a large twin bedroom. Plus a newly installed bathroom and kitchenette dining area - all completely private to you and accessed from your own private front door into Old Wine Cellar. Underfloor heating and carefully chosen antiques add to the unique and romantic environment.
Guest access
You will have the exclusive and private use of the fountain garden, the sitting room, the bedroom, the dining and cooking area and a large bathroom.
Other things to note
Sadly we can’t accommodate pets as we have our own very gentle labrador and a cat and they’re not happy when animal pals come over...

| Riz | 5 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/User-331405623/original/5e344374-77e9-479f-973b-10f3c869164d.jpeg?im_w=240 | 5 | 6 days ago | It was amazing holiday, so relaxing, peaceful & serene. Very clean place and everything was as described, very pleased. Also this building is historic, we felt quite privileged to stay in such historic place. The private garden and fountain was just so great, the sound of fountain water was just worth the holiday. Highly recommended. | |||
| Courtney | 3 years on Airbnb | https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/user/User/original/fd10f895-4641-4892-b777-b9acd6a02d49.jpeg?im_w=240 | 5 | 1 week ago | Not even sure where to start. It looks exactly like the pictures!! Absolutely beautiful spot and plenty of walks around the local area. Clearly signposted and clear directions given before even leaving to make my way down. The property was in a beautiful quiet spot and absolutely spotless. Would highly recommend anyone to visit. Can’t wait to try get back. | |||

Everything was immaculate, cozy and the scenery was something out of a movie. 10/10 would highly recommend the stay! | |||
| Gracie | 8 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | 2 weeks ago | Caroline’s place was something a bit different. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. A pity we only had the night and checked out super early. Caroline was very responsive and was so kind to allow us an early check in when we thought we would arrive earlier. Beautiful stay in stunning surroundings. The bathroom was to die for. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely stay again on our next business trip to the Borders. | |||
| Bruce | 10 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | 2 weeks ago | We loved staying at this unique and historic property. It was even more than we imagined. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We really appreciated the extra touches. This is one of the best properties we have stayed at. It is also close to the towns and beauty of the Scottish Borders. Highly recommend. | |||
| Nicholas | 1 month on Airbnb | None | 5 | 3 weeks ago | It was such a cool place to stay. A nice secluded spot. I actually didn’t even sleep in the room with the twin beds, rather I slept in the first room with the cobbled floor. It felt real cozy in there. And being able to see some of the stonework was also a nice touch. Shoutout to the interior designer. Would definitely stay again. It’s a nice base to take a day trip to Edinburgh, go over to the coast to Lindisfarne, and visit Alnwick. The Eildon Hills are close by and are great for hiking and have great views. I also had a really good poke bowl at Okome in Galashiels. | |||
| Wendy | 1 month on Airbnb | None | 5 | 4 weeks ago | Unique, quirky and fantastic! Felt so privileged to stay in this historic little place. Also as a solo traveller it was so quiet and safe. | |||
| Arlene | Saint Peter Port, Guernsey | None | 5 | February 2025 | The wine cellar absolutely exceeded my expectations. We had such a lovely time, it is a really magical place. | |||
| Helen | 2 years on Airbnb | None | 5 | February 2025 | Stunning place, so unique. I highly recommend staying here. Caroline gave very detailed directions, which were appreciated as this place is a little off the beaten track. Everything was perfect for our short stay. |
