Parkview is an excellent self catering property. As it implies it is close, in fact backs onto the park - loads to do for small children and teenagers in and around the park - flood light tennis - great looking play park and of course rugby pitch behind. The house itself was of a very high standard, was incredibly clean and was equipped very well. Walking distance to all of Melrose's attractions including a lovely walk along the tweed - couple of nice restaurants across the bridge in Gattonside. Took the bus into Galashields and went to the cinema - longer journey's also easy right from the door step. All in all we were very impressed and will definitely go back. Response: Thanks for your review .Its great to hear you really enjoyed your week in Melrose and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. |
