About Fauhope House
Fauhope House is an Arts and Crafts house built in 1897 for a Glasgow shipping magnate, set in thirteen acres of bluebell woodland on high ground above the Tweed valley near Gattonside, a short distance from Melrose. It is run as a five-star bed and breakfast by its owners, who live in the house and manage the small number of guest rooms personally.
Bedrooms are individually decorated and generously sized, most with views across the valley towards the Eildon Hills, and the house retains many original Arts and Crafts features including fireplaces and joinery. Breakfast is served in a dining room looking out over the gardens, built around local and often home-produced ingredients.
The setting is genuinely secluded, reached by a private drive above the village, yet Melrose town centre and the abbey are only a few minutes away by car. Fauhope suits couples looking for a quiet, personally run stay rather than a hotel, with the owners well placed to advise on local walks including the Eildon Hills and St Cuthbert's Way.
