This is the place to go. A stunning cafe/book shop. Great lunch or afternoon tea and wonderful books for everyone. The best coffee in the Borders too. Families with small children welcomed. This place is well worth a detour if you find yourself in the vicinity of Melrose.

Eileen has three amazing shops in Peebles, Hawick and Galashiels. Just loads of beautiful clothes and whenever you go in, there is always something to buy! Beware! I love this shop and so do my girls - even Johnny thinks it’s cool.
