Bemersyde House

Lovely relaxing stay at West Cottage. So peaceful and great place to explore the Borders. Our dog loved her daily paddles in the river. Margaret was really helpful and an extra bonus to be able to buy her preserves and produce.

We have just had a wonderful relaxing week at Bemersyde. The house was so interesting and cosy that we spent most of our week not venturing very far. We had lots of fun in the games room, playing outside with the dog ( who also had a wonderful time) and walking locally. Margaret was so helpful and I really enjoyed our chats. We are already planning our return visit.

I chose Bemersyde house as accommodation for a large Italian family attending a wedding locally, so they could all stay together. They told me they had a lovely time and very much enjoyed staying at Bemersyde. They appreciated the history and they thought it was a wonderful house and loved grounds. The location is beautiful – with views of the Eildon Hills. The grounds are dreamy and tranquil. They are delightful to walk around. The short walk to the river through the woodlands is such a treat! Margaret the housekeeper is marvellous, so helpful and her vegetable garden and produce are amazing.

We had a house full of friends join us for a long weekend to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary and we all had the very best of times. The house is full of the most beautiful furniture and art but we all felt right at home and perfectly relaxed and very comfortable. The grounds are just beautiful, and we were treated to wild deer roaming outside the dinning room of an evening. Paths lead from the grounds to lots of lovely spots including Melrose and St. Boswells. The staff could not have been more helpful and the house was ready and spotless on our arrival. We recommend a stay.
