Nice Find in a Nice Town

Our stop in Melrose was unplanned and at the last minute. Just looking at the hotel from the outside we knew it was going to be good. The staff were very friendly, the food delicious and the rooms very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Delightful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. breakfast was substantial and tasty. Hotel is in the centre of the small town and so very near the Melrose Abbey, gardens and the river. Parking was busy outside the hotel when we arrived but we could park at their sister hotel opposite which was fine
Anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very easy parking on the street and in dedicated carpark opposite the hotel. Immaculate public areas, stylish and understated. Professional smart and friendly service (very different from a nearby hotel experience the preceding few nights.) Our room was beautiful and well equipped with great views over the square and main street. Great mattress and pillows (so good we were hunting for the mattress brand on checking-out.) Breakfast: excellent quality. We don’t normally eat dinner in our hotel, there’s plenty of alternatives in Melrose, but we would choose dinner here when we return. The menu is great and well priced and the dining room is beautiful. A faultless stay in a family run establishment, a lot of pride in this boutique little hotel is evident. An absolute gem in the Borders (and we’ve stayed in a lot of places.)
