"I really enjoyed my stay at Tweed Apartment, it had everything I needed for a lovely, comfortable stay."
It was ideally placed for using the public bus service and I really enjoyed all the walks I did in the local area whilst also managing to finally complete the Borders Abbeys Way. What a stunningly lovely area! I was so lucky to have a dry and mostly sunny week and would happily stay at this property again.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit and the many lovely local walks including completing Borders Abbey Way. Thank you for choosing to stay at our apartment. Property Owner

"We would highly recommend this apartment, and will return."
It’s a great base for exploring and was really clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed, and was as described. The owner’s directions before were very useful, and our son was happy to find shortbread on arrival. It’s in a great quiet spot but lovely walks on the doorstep, and easy to get to shops and amenities. We went with two kids and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. So easy to get train to Edinburgh, and lots of lovely places to go local. Really nice.
Thanks for your kind feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your family holiday and all that is on offer in the Borders and Edinburgh. Property Owner

"What a perfect stay we had at Tweed Apartment!"
Lovely feel from the moment we walked in. Very organised and so easy to settle in and make a real 'home from home'. Hosts were very helpful and polite not that we had to consult them for any significant reason! Great base to explore the beautiful Scottish Borders. Can thoroughly recommend and we will certainly will be rebooking before too long as we have close family nearby ☺️

"The apartment worked well for me, Good location for the train and local amenities."
Although I was there alone I did have my grown son and his wife stay overnight one night. Cooking while they were there was the only time the size and layout of the kitchen became a nuisance. Other than that, the WiFi worked well (I did some work on line) TV, heating, beds were all excellent.
Thank you for your positive feedback. we are pleased you had a pleasant and productive stay. Property Owner

"Great apartment."
Everything you would need was there for you. Plenty to explore in the area and lovely walks. Owners kept in touch and the wine and shortbread they left for our arrival was a nice gesture. Kitchen was excellent with all the usual kitchen utensils. Easy walk to the railway station and bus stops 5 minutes walk away. Would certainly recommend this lovely apartment for a stay in the borders.
We are glad you had such a good week at our apartment and found it so convenient for exploring the local area. Many thanks for your kind comments. Property Owner

Beautifully situated in a quiet suburb with a view of trees and hills from the living room window and with shop, station and riverside walks within easy walking distance.

"A very clean comfortable apartment in an idea location to explore the Scottish Borders."
Lovely walks to Abbordsford (Sir Walter Scots House ) and Melrose along the river tweed. A short walk to the station where you can catch the train to Edinburgh . Key collection was easy we were met by Ross who was really helpful and gave us plenty of advice regarding the area.. We would defiantly stay in this Apartment again.

"Very comfortable apartment."
A real home away from home. It was also a very good base for exploring the Scottish Borders area and Edinburgh, with the main A roads and station just around the corner. The restaurant across the road, which did excellent takeaway pizza at a very reasonable price, was a real bonus. We are seriously considering booking this flat again for next year!
-
"Fabulous apartment, lovely and spacious with everything I needed."
Such a shame I was there on business as the surroundings were beautiful. The hosts brother-in-law came to meet me and even carried my suitcase up the two flights of stairs. Would definitely stay again and thoroughly recommend if you want to explore the surrounding area
-
"Excellent location for touring the Borders."
-
"Immaculate tasteful flat with everything we needed for a few days work and leisure in the area."
-
"The location of the apartment was ideal, just a short walk from the train station and bus stops."
Although we did have the car, we took advantage of the local transport links to travel to Edinburgh. The apartment had everything you need for a self catering holiday. Warm, clean and comfortable. The photos on the Sykes site do the apartment justice. There were terrific views, local walks and a handy shop. The fish and chip van was great also. Tweeddale is a good place to serve as a base for travelling around the Scottish Borders and Northumberland. Definitely would use Sykes again and probably this apartment.
-
"The apartment was like a home from home, it was extremely comfortable with fantastic facilities and was very easy to find."
The location was great as were the views. I would definitely recommend this apartment. The owners were easily accessible and we were met at the property to collect the keys on arrival, the communication from the owners beforehand and during our stay was spot on. We had a lovely few days visiting Scotland.
-
"The fact that there was contact with the owner 48 hours before the holiday begins gives piece of mind."
The owner was friendly and helpful. The directions easy to follow and accurate. The apartment was cosy, well equipped , conveniently situated with a pleasant view from the french doors onto the balcony. We felt "at home" within 5 minutes.
-
"The apartment we stayed at was indeed wonderful in all aspects."
The decor, the cleanliness, the views, the beds which were so comfortable, the amount of clean towels, the kitchen devices,... everything really makes your stay a full star place. Also, the kindness of the owner and her brother is also another asset.

G. Edinburgh. The flat was well equipped, having everything we needed and more.
