Scotland - Scottish Borders - Melrose

Eildon Holiday Cottages

Eildon Holiday Cottages are located at the foot of the majestic Eildon Hills in Melrose with stunning views over the Tweed valley and the beautiful Scottish Borders Countryside. As well as the inspiring Scottish landscapes the Scottish Borders has so much to offer visitors to the region including a long list of castles and historic buildings and an interesting mix of events going on such as the Melrose rugby 7s and the Borders Book Festival. Melrose is located approximately 35 miles south of Edinburgh and there is a direct train line in to the city centre which takes just under an hour and is wheelchair accessible.

Our six holiday cottages, ranging from one to three bedrooms, were originally designed from the realisation that it was impossible for families with disabled and severely disabled members to find any suitable self-catering holiday accommodation with facilities for all the family to take a holiday together. The strength of the complex is that able-bodied and disabled visitors can holiday together without differentiation. Disabled people can holiday alone (independent wheelchair user), with family, or with professional carers living in the cottage to provide the necessary support.

Our wheelchair accessible cottages are graded Category 1 – the best possible Tourist Board grading for wheelchair accessibility.

Two Cottages have optional ceiling tracking hoists - Langrig has a Spectra hoist that tracks from the bedroom into a wet-room shower and Single Tree Cottage has a Freeway hoist that tracks from the bedroom into a bathroom with a large bathtub with over-bath shower. Portable hoists are also available and can be used in all of the holiday cottages.

All have at least one bedroom on the ground floor level, with either a bathroom or wet-room shower room. There are grab rails in bath and shower rooms and let-down rails beside WCs. There is ample space for side-loading to WCs.

Electric profiling beds, pressure relieving mattress systems, shower chairs and a range of other equipment is available for guests to use.
