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.
We were looking for a nice place to stay while touring the Scottish Borders and discovered this lovely B&B. The setting is gorgeous, a 1730 Georgian home surrounded by beautiful gardens in a quiet location a short drive outside of Melrose. Our room was comfortable and spacious with a lovely bath and we appreciate the warm welcome we received. Our hosts were able to share some good tips about the area which meant we saw things we would not otherwise have known about. Breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented .
The Kings Arms Hotel is a busy, welcoming and attractive pub/hotel in the pretty town of Melrose. It has lots of character and history, and its sloping floors, beams, etc make it quite quirky. The staff are very welcoming, polite and efficient. Food and drink is very good. Melrose and the surrounding area is great for exploring either by car or hiking on the SUW.
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.
No problem parking. Keys were readily accessible. Property has been refurbished and standards are high. Slept well and not troubled by road noise etc. Comfortable lounge, well appointed kitchen and the whole house was nice and warm. Very clean too. Communications with the owner before our holiday were excellent.
Breakfasts were included as part of room charge. There was an excellent selection of fruit, cereal, juice, coffee, and fully cooked breakfasts--all very good! We also had an evening meal in the hotel dining room, and it was excellent. The staff were exceptionally helpful and courteous.
This is a small very comfortable hotel with a lovely relaxed atmosphere well situated in the centre of Melrose. If you are looking for a change from big impersonal chain hotels, I recommend Burts. The food is exceptionally good and service excellent. We enjoyed our stay here very much.
Great stay at the G&A. WE only stayed overnight as Melrose was the starting point for a long weekend cycle tour of the Borders. The Hotel was comfortable and staff friendly. Breakfast was excellent. We were able to leave our cars in the car park for the weekend which was most helpful
Good breakfast and very nice staff. The location is good as it is in the center of Melrose close to shops and restaurants. The local bus service bus stop is a few yards away. Melrose Abbey is five minutes walk.
Gorgeous views of the Eildon Hills from the living room and two of the bedrooms. We were lucky to have two sunny days when these rooms were full of natural light. Perfect place to relax :)
Headboard, the other furniture in room was satisfactory. Liked location as we could walk along the river tweed from our hotel and also walk in the opposite direction to Melrose.
The position in town was good as were the parking facilities. The young staff did their best to make up for deficiencies over which they had no control. They make good porridge
The rooms were large, clean, bright and comfortable. Food was top class and the staff were wonderful. Hotel location was perfect, being in the very centre of beautiful Melrose.
the room was clean and comfortable, the location is exceptional and the bar and restaurant are excellent.
I would highly recommend a stay at the Dryburgh Abbey hotel.
A dog friendly hotel, great location for Melrose and the surrounding area. Breakfast was very good. Our evening meal ( Friday night was steak night ) was very good
Lovely decor and very comfortable.
Parking space.
Well set up for a weekend stay, everything you need.
Possible to walk to Melrose high street (less than 30 mins)
The location is superb right in the centre of Melrose and with good car parks nearby for parking the car. Lots of places to eat nearby and great variety.
