Guests say
Melgund Glen Lodge receives high praise for its peaceful woodland setting, abundant wildlife, and proximity to the charming village of Denholm. Guests consistently highlight the cottage’s cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped facilities, making it ideal for families, couples, and dog owners alike. The welcoming hosts and thoughtful touches add to the experience, while the location serves as a perfect base for exploring the Scottish Borders. Visitors appreciate the tranquil atmosphere and the opportunity to unwind in beautiful surroundings.
Guests repeatedly describe the property as spotlessly clean, immaculate, and well presented, with particular appreciation for fresh linen and overall tidiness.
The lodge’s peaceful, secluded woodland setting is highly valued, with easy access to Denholm and nearby attractions. The only minor note is the lack of paths and streetlights for walking to the village.
Reviewers frequently mention the cottage’s cosy, comfortable atmosphere, quality beds, and relaxing lounge, making it feel like a home away from home.
The cottage is praised for being well equipped with everything needed for a self-catering stay, including WiFi, games, books, and a well-thought-out kitchen. Maintenance is consistently described as excellent.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs with bread, wine, and local produce. While these gifts are appreciated, it should be noted that they are not guaranteed for every stay.
