We stayed for 2 nights at The Nest and it really was the most delightful wee house. The decor is calm and relaxing, and everything we needed for a short stay was available in the property. Rachel was very attentive and contacted me 2 weeks before our stay to ask what bread and milk we would like in our welcome pack. When we arrived there was tea, coffee, fruit, cakes, cereal, butter, milk, bread, plenty washing up liquid, cloths, and literature on local things to do. We especially enjoyed sitting in the small patio area, enjoying a glass of wine after a lovely mosey around the town. This charming house was immaculate and so thoughtfully presented. We were actually reluctant to leave and will definitely be back!

The Nest is incredibly well-located, within in walking distance to the town and several of the wallks in the area. Communication and check-in was excellent. The property was spotless and the host had thought of everything. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. The kitchen was very well-appointed. We'd definitely stay again.

The Nest is a very comfortable cottage in a lovely village and fantastic location. There was a generous welcome pack and many extras that made our stay extra special. There are many walks close to the cottage and some interesting Roman history. So much to see and do at The Nest.

From the outset, everything went super smoothly with the booking, welcoming info and instructions. We loved the Nest and Melrose in equal measure and had no complaints about anything. Highly recommend the town for self catering as we used the butchers, fishmongers, greengrocer, deli and bakery and had all the equipment and tools in the Nest to enjoy some excellent local produce after our lovely walks in the hills behind and all along the river both ways. We will be back and our dog too, who loved the extra touches for him.

This is mainly to compliment Rachel for her efforts at the property. Everything was prepared beautifully. The extras were many, including milk, bread, biscuits, cereals, coffee tea, milk sugar butter and sweets. There were so many I have probably missed several. All of this and a pleasant welcome note got us off to a great start. We had a good stay and enjoyed the area. Thanks a lot Rachel, your efforts were very much appreciated. She also got in touch to say we could check in early. Colin and Vanessa.
