Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Fabulous weekend at Broadmeadows
Stayed at Broadmeadows with all the family. Had big hoose and East lawn. The property is huge but was cosy especially with fire burning in sittingroom. We enjoyed the pool room and snug but mainly we were all together in sittingroom. Kids had great fun playing hide and seek, loads of nooks and crannies to hide in. Views were beautiful from the property and nice walks surrounding. Visited Melrose for rugby, shops and coffee/scone. Ample room to accommodate 13 of us comfortably. The property was spotless, well decorated and rooms were spacious. Kitchen and diningroom were more than large enough to cater for us all. We all loved our time at Broadmeadows and would recommend large family get togethers here. Diane our host was most helpful.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE IDEAL FOR ANY GATHERING
This was the second time we had stayed. As we had a party of 13 we hired the East Lawn apartment as well as the Big Hoose. The house is still stunning as was the apartment, I don't think would find a better house to stay in. The WiFi is now better than it was 21 months ago, however I cannot comment on the TV reception as we were far too busy to switch it on. Overall I don't think there is anything that you could find fault with. The scenery in the area is amazing. There are plenty of walks and cycling routes along with lots of interesting places to visit . I would strongly recommend this as a fantastic place to stay. Dianne and Richard cannot do enough to make you stay enjoyable and remember able.

Absolutely stunning house
I booked this for my 40th and invited friends and family to come. It is simply a stunning house, it is so much bigger the pictures suggest. You would never know when all 20 guests were in the house at the same time. The grounds are also fantastic and spacious. The owners were fantastic to deal with. Would recommend this to anyone,.

Stunning house in beautiful location
We stayed in the 'Big Hoose' for half-term family holiday. The house was perfect, large and spacious as you would expect from a property of this period. Ideal for party of 11 with ages ranging from 3 to 84. Dianne and Richard have completed a wonderful restoration of the house. Dianne was there to meet us on arrival and give a tour of the property and provide information on the local area. There were fresh flowers around the house and a delicious Victoria sponge cake (which we all enjoyed) for our arrival. This stunning house provided us with luxury and comfort on a grand scale from which to explore the local area. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but this didn't stop us exploring the beautiful local area. The children loved the fishing at Kailzie (guaranteed to catch some fish for supper), walks and the adventure park at Bowhill House. All in all a super holiday in a magnificent house and location creating wonderful family memories. I can highly recommend Broadmeadows to anyone planning a holiday or a celebration in the Borders.

Our party of 20 enjoyed excellent accommodation and visiting the border towns
An area some had not visited before with the finest accomodation to return to each night. We visited Bowhill House where we toured the fine rooms and also attended a play in the house. Caterers provided an excellent meal as recommended by Dianne. Many who had not visited the area before are planning their return visit.

Fantastic!
We booked Broadmeadows house for a 60th birthday party and family get together. It exceeded our expectations - although the photos online are great they just don't do it full justice. We can't wait to return one day and can't recommend it highly enough.

Mr
Just spent the most wonderful week here with my partner, sister parents and children. The property is stunning and owners were very helpful. Great base for exploring the beautiful Scottish Borders we were able to go out running every day round the Bowhill estate which was fantastic. Property is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be returning next year

Stunning
The Big Hoose is stunning! Beautifully decorated, spacious & well equipped. We were a party of 10 adults meeting up for a long weekend & there was plenty of room for everyone. We were made very welcome by Dianne & thoroughly enjoyed the house & the local area. Only wish we'd had more time to explore the local walks. We will definitely return.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE IDEAL FOR A FAMILY GET TOGETHER
Stayed 4 nights over Xmas with our family, the big hoose could not be more homely, the kitchen has every thing you could need. The rooms are well decorated, the bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfy. The Snooker room kept people entertained along with the wide variety of games provided. To say the house is stunning is an understatement. The only downside was the TV and internet reception however Dianne informed us that this was due to be improved in the next few weeks, anyway who needs these with good company and games. Another bonus was it snowed on Xmas evening and Dianne supplied a sledge for my grandchild to play on. There is no doubt that we will return for another family gathering and would recommend the Big Hoose as a fantastic house to stay in.

Wonderful house and accommodating host!
Dianne was a wonderful host at The Big Hoose, originally booked as a surprise for my fiancé. Dianne was able to bring the vision to life and we all had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, with lots to explore both in and out and we throughly enjoyed our stay.
