The apartment truly was home away from home. Everything was very lovingly prepared and arranged. We loved to have good cooking ware. The location is both quiet and restful yet close to Melrose restaurants, grocery stores, museums, and hikes. Our hosts were thoughtful and professional, and very easy to contact.

Such a beautiful manor house situated in a rural section of Melrose. The house is decorated with lovely antiques, and the host, Douglas, is very welcoming and a wealth of information on the history and lore of the area. Breakfast was amazing, locally sourced products and fruit that was grown on the property. The bed was very comfortable and the views from our bedroom window lovely. Excellent hiking area on a woodsy trail just steps from the property, with a bubbling stream and birdsong along the path. I wished we could have stayed at least a day longer. We stayed three nights.

This is a lovely old town.
This is a lovely old town. The Abbey was under some repair but a fantastic, historic place. The rugby stadium dominates Sadly, didn't get chance to do the Roman stuff;maybe next time. The River Tweed is beautiful and there is good walking around its banks and bridges. The centre has some nice pubs. The Kings Arms was very friendly, the locals inviting me into their conversation. Everyone was so welcoming. The walk into Galashiels is about 50 minutes (ten minutes drive, tops). In Gala, the Great Tapestry of Scotland is a must see. I spent nearly three hours in there and still rushed the last bit.

Melrose is the 'jewel in the crown' of the Scottish Borders, with beautiful surrounding hills (Eildons) and lovely Borders towns nearby like Galashiels and Kelso. Borders folk are also very friendly and helpful. Sir Walter Scott's House at Abbotsford is wonderful and it's worth seeing the William Wallace Statue near Dryburgh.

Melrose is a nice little town with shops, cafés, bars and restaurnts, an interesting museum and a lovely historic site: the ruins of a mediaeval abbey. The scenery is picturesque with the river Tweed running through the town. As I love the outdoors, it was important for me to have a lot of hiking routes starting from the town. There are buses running from there, too, to all directions, so important places, the capital or even the sea are within easy reach.
I visited Dryburgh Abbey on foot and Kelso and Jedburgh by bus. A visit to Abbotsford, the house of Sir Walter Scott was absolutely intriguing. The rolling hills of the Borders are so beautiful that I would go back this instant if I could.

Trimontium Museum in Melrose market place is absolutely first class - about a huge Roman fort a couple of miles outside Melrose. Melrose Abbey was disappointing as most of it is fenced off whilst they carry out building inspections, and it didn't look like this would change any time soon. Dryburgh Abbey about 5 miles away is better. Abbotsford well worth a visit. We also took the train from Tweedbank to Edinburgh for the day which worked very well. Also visited the Great Scottish Tapestry in Galashiels which is an absolute must. Can recommend Provender in Melrose for dinner. Town centre has a range of independent shops and cafes.

Quaint small town.
Quaint small town. The Roman Museum is very good as is the visit to the Abbey, although, unlike last time you could not go into the abbey. I was there to begin the St. Cuthbert Trail walk to Lindisfarne. Sir Walter Scott's nearby home is worth a visit.
Very comfortable rooms, lovely fabrics, huge bed. Old style bathrooms but very clean, great water pressure and hot water. The hotel was old style, very comfortable, nice bar area for coffee and great food both in the evening and for breakfast, good service. Wood burner on all day in the bar area so although it was winter we were so cosy. So easy to walk out of the door and be in the centre of pretty Melrose with its choice of independent shops, cafes and pubs. Wonderful walks along the river.
Lovely hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. ate in the restaurant, nice food, breakfast was very good. perfect for my needs. Hotel very accommodating in allowing me to leave my car in the car park for a week as I was doing The St Cuthburts Way walk. Would have stayed there again but full due to Borders Literary festival, Great event for the area.
