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 two pubs and an excellent café, as well as 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.

Date	Product	Customer Comment
29-Nov-2021	The Steading CA8 (overall)	The team were friendly, helpful and responsive. The process of paying the balance could have been more straightforward - it should have been automatic but there was some kind of hiccup which meant that it wasn't.
29-Nov-2021	Seaview Cabin Iona ES8 (overall)	A well organised booking, all payments taken as expected and when expected and our deposit returned very soon after departure.
29-Nov-2021	Rhum Cottage AG7 (overall)	No complaints. Didn't have too much interaction with Unique Cottages, but what I had was good
29-Nov-2021	The Nest GA4 (overall)	Unique Cottages have been very easy to book with despite having to rearrange our holiday twice because of the pandemic. They kept us up to date accordingly and made rearragning a breeze.
28-Nov-2021	The Shore House GC3 (overall)	Comfortable and warm, and what a view to wake up to. I even went for a dip in the loch and was joined by a curious seal. The weather wasn't great, but we didn't care with that view to look out on in such comfortable surroundings. Will bring my kayak next time.
28-Nov-2021	The Cottage on Loch Hosta CF3 (overall)	Excellent service. Everything was fully explained in emails, they acted immediately when I had a query and housekeeping deposit returned in less than a week.
27-Nov-2021	Eildon Cottage ED1 (overall)	Prompt at dealing with their emails but does seem a little antequated having to wait while office contacts owner to see if property available
26-Nov-2021	Ardsheal Farmhouse BJ4 (overall)	Easy to use with excellent choice of properties
26-Nov-2021	Highland Belfry DA9 (overall)	Best Cottages in Scotland with brilliant customer service
26-Nov-2021	Bay Cottage at Skara Brae DG8 (overall)	Perfect cottage for a relaxing break and celebration of my birthday in a beautiful setting. Well appointed and with a lovely big garden and wonderful views down to the beach, and along to Skara Brae. We’ve already booked to go back next year - not something we’d normally do (the world is a big place and there are lots of places to visit!). I think that says it all.
