A marvellous weekend in the Borders with this B&B as the perfect springboard. The room was pleasantly decorated with very good quality furnishings. Our ensuite shower room was spotless. The breakfast room you could sit the Queen in and there would be no complaints. Our hosts were most accommodating in every aspect. For one of the older buildings in the... More

Lovely B&B with a very special atmosphere. The owner is a very friendly guy who made us feel super welcome. The room was very spacious and the bathroom very clean. We loved the fact that the B&B was situated in the town center. We ate in a lovely pub, just two minutes walking from the B&B. Also make sure to... More

It is a good base and there are plenty of decent places to eat in the vicinity. This is an interesting house with all sorts of art on the walls. The breakfast was very good and it... More

We all loved the eclectic and spotlessly clean decor, the very convenient central position (no problem with noise for us!) and the helpful way that our bikes were spirited away into the garage and whisked out again the next morning for our sadle...

My friend booked this as it was the cheapest place in Melrose. How it is I've no idea! Ignore the website which doesn't do it justice, just read the other reviews on here. Spotlessly clean, wonderful decor, very friendly laid back host, David, and one of the tastiest breakfasts I've had in a long while. £65 for a twin room?... More
