Lilliesleaf & Midlem

These two villages are peacefully situated in the heart of the Borders countryside between Selkirk, Melrose and Jedburgh, within sight of the iconic Eildon Hills. They are a haven from main roads and hustle and bustle, so are ideal for those seeking a place to relax, yet still being within a 10 minute drive from Selkirk and Melrose and a little further from Jedburgh.

A Break Away From It All

Lilliesleaf has a pub/restaurant and there is a turn-up-and-play golf course within a couple of miles – you can even bring your dog along if you wish.

Clay Pigeon Shooting

Midlem is one of the prettiest of the Scottish Borders villages and is, unusually for Scotland, set round a village green. For local entertainment just on the edge of the village you can try out clay pigeon shooting.

Both of these quaint hamlets are only 40 miles south of Edinburgh so a day out in the beautiful capital is easily doable. There you will find an abundance of shopping, pubs and restaurants, as well as the tourist draws of Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.

07-Jul-2025	Thornfield GK8 (overall)	We had the most delightful stay at Thornfield. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed —there’s a comforting, homely energy that invites you to exhale and settle in. The décor is absolutely spot-on: a gentle nod to the age and character of the old property, with carefully chosen touches that speak of thoughtful curation rather than cookie-cutter styling. Original features are beautifully preserved, making each room feel like a page from a well-loved storybook. The location couldn’t be more convenient—just steps from the centre of village life, yet when you retreat to the garden, it feels like another world entirely. It’s a little oasis: birdsong, bees lazily drifting between flowers, and that rare kind of quiet that only comes with being wrapped in nature. Truly a memorable stay. The kind of place that gently asks you to slow down—and rewards you when you do.
