This was an amazing place to stay. We walked in and thought WOW, it was a fantastic way to end our 3month long holiday in Scotland. Also in such a small street to have a carparking space was great. We felt like we were at home but better. We also spoke to the neighbour who told us of the history of the wee cottage. Explains why there is a post box at the fence. Was also nice that it has a small outdoor seating area. Just gorgeous.

Postbox Cottage is an immaculately presented one bedroom terraced cottage, it has a small patio garden with a private parking bay, walking distance to Borders General Hospital and the Borders Railway Station.
Following the success of our other two holiday lets in Kelso (Barclay house and Castle Nook) we are excited to offer a completely one of a kind little property in the simply stunning village of Darnick. On walking up Smiths road to view Postbox Cottage in February we new straight away this is the most perfect property for a couple to holiday let. We are sure everyone will love it as much as we do.
Smiths road in Darnick is mixture of properties that creates a unique street dating back as far as the late 18 century, it sits only a short walk into the stunning Town of Melrose where you will lovely shops and fantastic restaurants.
