Usonia

Melrose | Scottish Borders | Sleeps 4 (+2 children)

Picture a Brooklyn loft with white bricks and polished floors, then give it a dose of shrinking potion and tuck it away in the Scottish treetops; this is Usonia, a mid-century modern home on St Cuthbert's Way. If you carry a torch for cubic silhouettes, but have a soft spot for the Nordic decadence of sauna and hot tub living, this Melrose hideout will make your modernist heart beat a little faster. Plus, it's within striking distance from the local inn and not far from several Michelin-starred eateries.
