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.

We love Melrose and visit often.
We love Melrose and visit often. We love browsing the small shops on the high street and they have a brilliant butcher in Martin Baird. A walk round the town is a delight, past the abbey, Harmony Garden and across the chain bridge to Gattonside - or up the Eildon's if you are feeling energetic. We also love Sir Walter Scott's home, Abbotsford which is a short car journey and the Tapestry of Scotland exhibition in Galashiels.
Getting to Melrose is relatively easy from Edinburgh Waverley station on the Borders light railway to Tweedbank, then a short taxi ride.
Clare and Donald were exceptional hosts, from the very warm welcome with a hot drink and millionaire shortbread to our farewell with Tablet Fudge they were fantastic. The accommodation was first class, very clean, really comfortable and beautiful surroundings. Breakfast was lovely (especially the fruit and yogurt), we also liked Boris the Cat! We highly recommend staying at the Barn at the Coach House when you are near Melrose. The town of Melrose itself is also lovely.
Overlooking Melrose Abby and Priorwood Gardens, Pear Cottage is a self-catering apartment in the historic old town of Melrose. Updated with modern conveniences, it still retains its old world charm. It was clean and spacious. The bedroom was in the back of the unit so it was quiet. The on-site parking was a bonus. Helen Stewart, who manages it for the National Trust of Scotland, was genuine, kind, helpful, and a pleasure to talk to.
The location by the River Tweed was handy both for driving in and for walking into Melrose along the river. The staff were all lovely, friendly and attentive. There was tourist information available and I could buy a little booklet of local walks. I thought the hotel offered good value for money for the price I paid, and reminded me of hotels I have stayed in when I was a little girl.
Perfect place for a visit to Melrose and area. Excellent staff, nice, big , comfortable rooms,, old style pub and restaurant downstairs.. The Borders bus can be caught just outside the door and the train station in Tweedbank is just a short taxi ride (we were lucky to get a ride from a local who was also on the train). We enjoyed everything about our four days in Melrose.
The well appointed Dryburgh Abbey Hotel situated in it's own tranquil grounds next to the historic ruins of Dryburgh Abbey provided an excellent base for touring the Border Region.
The staff were exceptionally helpful, the meals were tailored to taste and with ample on-site parking and excellent Wi-Fi in all areas the stay was excellent and very good value.
One of the very best accommodations we have ever stayed in over 35 years of holidays. Beautiful location above Melrose. Extensive garden and own sitting area in it. Amazingly well decorated house - flowers, paintings, candles. Attention to detail worthy of a 5 star hotel. Owners are most friendly and considerate. Breakfast was exceptionally good.
To be honest everything. Just 2 minutes walk from the centre of Melrose, 5 minutes walk to the river Tweed. To say the cottage has character would be a gross understatement, the name says it all. If it came up for sale I would buy it in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a romantic break to rekindle or start a relationship this is the place.
Very friendly staff fishnchips great fillet steak excellent lasagne great chicken fillet burger great. Breakfasts very, very good.Issue with room 4 hopefully sorted by management for next guests.

Location and breakfast are very good. Gardens are lovely and locality is very pretty including the Melrose Abbey which is £3 only to enter and only a mile or 2 away. Bar Lounge and Restaurant are really nice huge rooms - window views are stunning with redwoods in the gardens.
It was clean, well furnished and had everything we could need. Perfect for the Borders Book Festival- we left the car in it's parking place at the property- only a 20 minute walk into Melrose.
Perfect quaint hotel in the centre of Melrose, excellent staff ready to go above and beyond, clean rooms with all the facilites you require. Well recommended, will definitley return.
