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 1 hectare (2½ acres) 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.
