Really lovely stay, fab service from Brooke and her colleague, and a great room. Even with 12 milks made available. It's the little things like that, which makes a difference. I'll be back!

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 .
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.
Excellent location in the heart of Melrose.
Amazing friendly local staff, always smiling, helpful and flexible.
The hotel is dog friendly, so it was great vacation for our dog.
Good breakfast and restaurant facility for the day.
The room is cleaned with complementary coffee and tea sachets at check-in.
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.
The apartment has lovely features and real character. It is in a great location with off street parking and a secure garage for bikes.
The kitchen was really well equipped.
The living room was super comfy and nice to relax in at the end of the day
For the price it was excellent
Hotel was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful, location was lovely, nice walks along the river tweed and dryburgh abbey is right next door. Melrose is not too far away in the car and is a lovely wee town to visit
Really enjoyed our stay in this lovely hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. The highlight was the food - dinner and breakfast were delicious. Highly recommended.
Traditional hotel, good size comfortable room, well heated. A little dated and small maintenance jobs needed, but this was as expected. Great breakfast. Good location at Melrose and easy to find, plenty of parking.
The Burts hotel is a family run hotel & the owners are usually present so standards are always high & maintained! Still a traditional hotel, very happy staff & a very relaxing place to stay
Good place to stop over whilst riding Coast and Castles cycle route. Hotel now very dated and needing a refurbishment. Plenty of restaurants to eat out at in Melrose.
Adequate breakfast.
Lovely hotel situated in a great location to enjoy all Melrose has to offer.
Excellent breakfast, quiet location with no street noise.
Pleasant bar with a good range of drinks.
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
