Lovely Farmyard Barn

5 of 5
Submitted: June 10, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We have just come back from a week away at Muirhouse Farm. 9 of us in total, 2 families with 5 children ( boys 10-17) and a dog. This was a perfect holiday home. Lots of space for us all to move around and a great location. The view from the lounge and downstairs double is amazing, seeing the sheep and cattle on the hillside from your bed whilst having a lazy morning was great. This property is actually in the farmyard so be prepared for some mud and countryside smells and the shock of a peacock in full plumage strutting his stuff on the lawn! Stow had nothing to offer - the local pub is being renovated - so we ventured out and fell in love with Melrose and the River Tweed 20 mins drive away. Great for eating out, walking, stunning scenery especially walking the river banks. We also enjoyed the Aga - when you haven't got one at home it's an interesting experience.
Wendy and Iver provided a warm welcome and live in the adjacent farmhouse but don't interfere with your stay. The sheep were brought in and sheared during our stay, a nice touch for the 'townies'! The property is isolated but being on the farm means the farm workers are regularly outside the garden - this didn't bother us but any dogs/children need to be kept under control.
We all loved the house, setting, and surrounding area. The house is rennovated to a good standard and was immaculate on our arrival. If we could improve anything we would have had more lounge seating. Not enough sofa space for 9 but this wasn't something we needed often.
We would love to go back, this was my first time in Scotland and the Borders area is a joy, beautiful. The driving is also a treat, good roads and no traffic.
This is a great property. You won't be disappointed.

The Mill House

5 of 5
Submitted: November 26, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend at the Mill House, Stow in October this year.
The downstairs bedrooms with crisp linen and towels aplenty were the first rooms we saw, entering the cosy hallway and stepping onto the wonderfully warm flooring (a gift on an autumn morning!).  The open staircase took us upstairs to feel the invisible arms of a warm(not only from the Aga) welcome into the kitchen/livingroom.  The kitchen table was the perfect size for our games, 'family' meals and chatting over many cups of tea (from the whistling kettle).  The kitchen cupboards are well stocked with crockery, glasses, cutlery and cooking utensils, and the dishwasher was well used by our group.  The fridge/freezer accommodated all our drinks and food.  Comfy sofas, which also fold down into beds, surround the tv and dvd player.  The patio doors opened onto a lovely garden space, with seating and a bbq (perfect for a return visit in the summer!).  Although it was late autumn, we woke up to sunshine streaming into the House, and we were able to enjoy walks into the village.  I would definitely recommend the Mill House for a complete break - no need to pack linen or towels, just take yourselves

Would highly recommend this stunning mill conversion to those looking for a countryside retreat. Accommodation was perfect for our large group and facilities were excellent. The house was immaculate on our arrival with ample bedding, towels etc. We all thouroughly enjoyed our weekend and the tranquility the area offered. Customer service was excellent and all enquirys were responded to promptly. Perfect retreat which we will be sure to repeat soon! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

We spent a wonderful weekend in this stunning house with old friends. The owners welcomed us and were most attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is stunning, has everything you could wish for as well as the peace and tranquillity of country living but within easy walking distance of the local amenities, shops and cafes.
I particularly loved the aga stove and underfloor heating. A lovely cosy getaway!
Many thanks again.

What a fantastic weekend!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 16, 2011 Stayed: May 2011
We spent a wonderful weekend away in this lovely property! Plenty of room and everything you could need in a beautiful setting. Wendy was very helpful and accommodating. We didn't do much exploring but the farmer gave us some tips on where we could walk without disturbing the bulls! It's not far from civilization while also being out of the way of everything - great if you want some peace and quiet (or also if you are a bit noisy, like us!). Plenty of restaurants a short drive away. And so close to Edinburgh - an easy weekend getaway!
Thanks so much!
