We spent a fortnight in Clockhouse Cottage at the end of October and loved every minute of it.

We spent a fortnight in Clockhouse Cottage at the end of October and loved every minute of it. Mellerstain House was closed for the winter so we had the grounds more or less to ourselves which was a real treat - the grounds are open to the public during the winter but we only saw a couple of visitors while we were there. We felt very much at home and were very sad to leave it. We will definitely consider booking again if we come back to this area for a holiday.The cottage is warm and cosy, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The staff we encountered were very approachable and helpful.In open season the grounds will of course be busier during the day but I don’t think this would have detracted from our enjoyment of the cottage. Closed season does offer something a little different though, driving into the grounds past Mellerstain House and having the place to yourself really feels a wee bit special, so we’d definitely recommend the cottage if you’re looking for an out of season retreat.We’ve stayed in, and enjoyed, quite a few holiday cottages over the years and this has definitely been our favourite to date.

Beautiful gardens

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and loved walking around the amazing gardens and wooded areas. The location is excellent being close to many Borders towns. The property was clean apart from the oven which needs a good clean and the pot shelves which were greasy. There was no frying pan large or small so we were unable to cook the steaks we brought with us. There was no welcome letter and no-one called by or phoned to welcome us or check that we had everything we needed. Neither were we provided with a telephone number for the property manager. Despite the lack of customer care we still had a lovely break and the staff in the coffee shop and the gardens were all very friendly.

A HIDDEN GEM!

What an absolutely incredible place to stay - so quiet, peaceful and the gardens to which I was allowed access, were truly magnificent! A sincere thank you to the owners/residents of Mellerstain House, for giving me, as a guest, the privilege of being able to do this even when closed! 10/10⭐️

A very warm, quiet, comfortable cottage.

A very warm, quiet, comfortable cottage. Access to the grounds at Mellerstain is a real treat, and makes the cottage special. The area is full of things to do, great walks, lovely country, lots of history. I would happily go again. The wifi works very well (not always the case in holiday rentals) but there is no mobile signal. The kitchen equipment is functional but if you are a keen cook take your 'must haves' with you.

Lovely, well restored, well decorated XVIII C house in wonderful, peaceful surroundings. The visit of Mellerstain House is a must, superb architecture, wonderful furniture, works of art, museum pieces and very friendly, informative guides who obviously love their jobs. Last but not least, a superb garden with spectacular views on the Cheviots.

The cottage is simply stunning with everything you need to enjoy your home from home. The grounds surrounding the cottage are beautiful & great for a leisurely walk. We found plenty to keep us occupied during our long weekend stay & hope to return soon. Thank you to Steven & the rest of the team at Mellerstain for your contributions to our wonderful break. We couldn’t have hoped for more.

Mellerstain is a magnificent house in a beautiful location with lovely gardens to which we had free access during our stay. The Clock House was a very well presented and comfortable cottage looking onto the courtyard, cafe and gift shop (which were only open when the gardens were). The dogs were very welcome too and loved their walks around the grounds.

Some small issues dealt with quickly and efficiently. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. I don’t expect these small issues to happen again. We will be booking this cottage again. The walks round the estate are lovely and the whole place is dog friendly.
