Location
Howlands is a spacious cottage with exposed stone walls providing an insight into the historic building’s previous use as a Victorian farm grain store from which it was converted. It’s centrally located in the Scottish Borders so perfect for exploring the whole region including the jewel in the crown that is Melrose, a lovely market town just a stones throw away. It’s ideal for visiting Edinburgh too which is just an hour away on the train.
The cottage is surrounded by beautiful open gardens for your enjoyment. There are quiet corners with wooden benches, a viewpoint with a swinging bench, picnic benches for eating outdoors and BBQs (gas and charcoal) for cooking. Smoking is allowed outside only.
The centre of Melrose (Sunday Times 2018 winner of Best Place to Live in Scotland) is around 10-15 minutes walk away (0.5 miles) or 2 minutes in the car.
