Why it may suit a fishing party
Its Melrose setting keeps a small self-catering party close to the middle Tweed, the Eildon Hills and the town itself, with the privacy of a private garden rather than a hotel. Trout fishing is available on the Tweed nearby.
How it fits the fishing
Eildon Cottage can be considered alongside suitable fishing in its region, but a river name alone is not enough: individual beats can be far apart. Best Fishing Scotland can check the actual meeting points, arrange guides, permits and equipment, and build realistic daily transfers around the final accommodation choice.
Share dates, target species, party size and the needs of non-angling guests before either element is committed.
Questions to settle before booking
