About the host
Hosted by Ian Stewart
We have recently purchased this property from Sheila Pearson, who previously rented out this property on Ownersdirect. I live in the Village of Stichill (which is around 25 miles from Melrose) with my wife and 2 children (Emma is 12 and Matthew 9) I am originally from Kelso, close by to Stichill and this is also where I work. My hobbies include cycling and running.
Why they chose this property
Melrose is one of the Borders' prettiest towns, nestling at the foot of the dramatic Eildon Hills with the River Tweed bordering the town, and stunning local scenery.
It is very accessible to Edinburgh as well as the coast, and numerous border golf courses, many of whom offer reasonable rates over a 3-5 day "Freedom of the Fairways" pass.
Many walks of varying length and challenge are on offer in stunning settings, including St Cuthbert's Way, and the Borders Abbey Way.
The town is acknowledged for its excellent restaurants, bars, cafes and individual shops.
Edinburgh airport is an hour and a quarter away, and there are train stations in Carlisle, Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed.
The new railway line fromEdinburgh to Tweedbank - 2 miles from the property is now fully operational.
Many festivals take place throughout the year including the very popular book festival in June, which spans 4 days of talks and discussion by famous authors. The venue is a delightful walled garden of a restored Regency house.
Festivals are held in the summer throughout the Borders reflecting traditions of riding the marches or boundaries.Each town takes enormous pride in its celebrations, which last for approx. a week.
Pipeband and Highland dancing championships are hosted here.
Home of rugby 7's, an annual tournament is held in April, attracting sides from Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as the local sides.
With such close proximity to Edinburgh it is also a good location to take in the Edinburgh Festival.
