Rivendell was built of warm red Melrose sandstone in the late 1800s. This comfortable and substantial house is the family home of Liz and Graeme Mitchell who welcome guests to stay for bed and breakfast. Since the house is situated on the Green there is no access for cars from the front but the entrance, and ample car parking space, is at the rear via Hamilton Place. Double bedroom with private adjoining shower room en suite. Twin bedroom with private shower room, overlooking the secluded back garden.
Bedrooms have televisions, and tea and coffee making facilities.
Downstairs, guests are welcome to relax in the Lounge which has large bay windows looking onto the front garden. You can tell Liz the night before whether you would prefer a light breakfast of fruit juice, yoghurt, toast and homemade marmalade or a big Scottish breakfast of porridge, eggs, bacon, sausages and tomatoes, etc. If you are a keen golfer there is a local Freedom of the Fairways scheme which enables visitors to play nearly all 20 golf courses in the Scottish Borders at very reasonable rates. View from the 2 double bedrooms overlooking the garden and village green beyond. W. and C.M., Australia.
