Stopped at the George and Abbotsford on Friday for their curry night.It was very tasty and good value for money.In the bar they had live music on which was very easy on the old ears the place seemed to be busy enough and the staff were all helpful and polite .Would recommend and return in the future .

We didn't have a reservation, and stopped in at several of the hotels in Melrose for pricing - this one immediately stood out from the rest! The historical George and Abbotsford Hotel is full of character - plush carpets, heavy curtains and solid... More

I gather that this hotel has been recently taken over by new owners and it has the potential to be a great place but the noise insulation in the rooms isn't great and it sounded like I had a group of removal men practicing next door. The new owners were working on the decor but the 1970s radio alarm was... More

I have never had such an accomadating place to stay, the couple who own the hotel are so welcoming and freindly. They are working hard to redecorate and modernise and even this was being done discreetly so,s not to disturb guests, The food was very good and excellent portions given. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay... More
