Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in the heart of Melrose, just a few steps away from the bus station. The rooms, although small, are comfortable, but the proximity to the bar's bathroom can cause some noise. It was a bit chilly upon arrival with no control over the heater. The location is lovely, and I would definitely consider booking it again in the future.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great and the breakfast in the conservatory was lovely, but the rooms were a bit shabby, especially the tight toilet space. Overall, it was comfortable, and I would consider booking again in the future.
The hotel is a mix of comfortable rooms with minor noise issues and a convenient location in the High Street, offering great value for money. The dining options were varied and suitable, enhancing the overall stay experience.
