I am an MSer who uses a scooter indoors and out. Hamiltons is a Well designed farm steading conversion, making a very accessible one bedroom, dog welcome, holiday cottage where I spent 4 nights with my husband. Owner Rob helpfully offered a shower chair for the wet room. Disabled toilet, grab bar in shower. Kitchen area is low level. There are other disabled accessible properties within the Eildon Holiday Cottages complex- see their website. Equipment can be added for your needs, some may be to hire. I have stayed in Lanrigg previously, a larger cottage, very accessible. Comfortable and warm at Hamiltons in November. Lovely setting above the golf course in attractive Melrose. Bird feeders out side windows attracted a woodpecker!

Very helpful, Rob phoned my home to ask if I needed a shower chair in the bathroom before our arrival. Very approachable, I really appreciated the welcome to our family dog. Made sure we were warm in November.
Additional Information
Having stayed with Eildon Cottage Holidays twice, I will be back. My son's house is in Galashiels but not accessible to me, so Melrose is now our visiting base. Good website to browse the holiday cottages.
