Harmony Garden

Nestling in the pretty Borders town of Melrose, with enviable views of majestic Melrose Abbey, is Harmony House and Garden.

The handsome Georgian villa looks out onto a beautifully tended garden of smart croquet lawns, colourful, scented flowerbeds, fruits and vegetables.

The house, part of the Trust’s Connoisseurs’ Collection of self-catering rental properties, is considered by many to be the finest example of a Georgian townhouse in Scotland. The walled gardens are lush and secluded, giving visitors the sense of entering a private space.

A smaller rental property, two-bedroomed Harmony Cottage, is also part of the estate. The cottage has many original features, including fireplaces and flagstones, along with its own small garden.

Elegant Regency town house available as a holiday let, set within three acre walled garden which is open to the public.

Harmony Garden plays host to the Borders Book Festival each June. Visit www.bordersbookfestival.org for further information on events at the festival.
