Langrig cottage is located at Dingleton Mains Farm, two minutes drive from Melrose's beautiful market square and historic town centre. Our holiday cottage is particularly suited for large groups (we have 5 other holiday cottages on the same site), families (we can provide a cot and high chair) and guests with dogs (dogs must be over 1 year old, max 2 dogs per cottage, £20 charge per dog, please mention when booking). If you like walking, with or without a dog, you will love the fabulous walks from the doorstep and we have a handy hosepipe available to wash off muddy boots or dogs. The 3 peaks of the Eildon hills, right behind the holiday cottages, are an iconic landmark in the area and a good challenge for keen walkers and adventurers. Our holiday cottages are situated on a 2 acre site with an orchard, woods and open garden areas with picnic tables and BBQs. We are accessed via a private road with no passing traffic so children can play safely and dogs can be walked off the lead.
Melrose has a unique mix of independent shops and a superb eateries. For guests wanting to cook, there's a great butcher, two bakers, a greengrocer and a delicatessen all offering fantastic local produce. Or if you prefer a bit more convenience there's also a good Co-op supermarket in Melrose or several large supermarkets in Galashiels, around 5 miles away. For eating out there are several superb restaurants and cafes in Melrose and there's also several takeaway options too that will deliver delicious food to the holiday cottage. We have a list of recommended eateries in our cottage welcome folders to help guests find the best places.
The cottage has three bedrooms - the downstairs bedroom can be made up as two single beds or they can be zipped together to make a luxurious super-king size double bed and this bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, there are two twin bedrooms (each has two single beds) and a separate bathroom with a bath and an over-bath shower. All beds have deep, comfortable mattresses and cosy all seasons duvets and pillows made from luxury micro-fibre soft as down, there's no feather bedding.
Also on the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room and a sun porch at the front which is a lovely place to sit and watch the birds feeding on the bird feeder hanging in the tree opposite the cottage.
