Melrose (7 miles) is one of the most beautiful towns in the Borders and is famed for its 12th century Abbey. It offers a range of local shops, hotels, restaurants, and recreational facilities. Melrose Rugby Club hosts the Melrose Sevens,
which attracts teams from around the world.

Nearby Selkirk (4.5 miles) has a range of independent shops including the much-loved Tibblie's - a gin bar and eatery, Three Hills Coffee Shop and the community run General Store. St Boswells (6 miles) offers a great local butcher, the popular Hunters Italian restaurant, and the Mainstreet Store - a well know bookstore/cafe and deli.

Trains: The Waverley line from Edinburgh to the Borders terminates at Tweedbank, which is just 8 miles away, making access to the city simple and fast. There is also a mainline railway station at Berwick-upon-Tweed with a good service to London. Both Edinburgh and Newcastle are within comfortable driving distance, and both have international airports.

Schools: There are several good primary and secondary school options nearby in Selkirk and St Boswells. Melrose offers St Mary's, a private co-educational preparatory school.
