    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.

    Having traveled in various countries and seen numerous hotels, motels and B&B's, then Kirklands B&B near Melrose would simply stick with head and shoulders above them. Our stay there was simply superb. Not only there is a great house and comfortable rooms, but the breakfast is just great, both the Scottish full one as well as the Continental version. Also, if the Sun is out and the temperature is good, have a stroll in the enormous garden where you can fins several spots to read a book, or just enjoy the sunshine itself.

    Not my first stay at the Station Hotel in Melrose and certainly not my last. As I’ve said before, a great location, clean comfortable en suite room and brilliant staff. Because I was away extra early and consequently too early for the usual delicious breakfast, I was given an unexpected packed lunch. There’s a homely feel about the Station which gives a stay there an added pleasure.

    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.

    The hotel is an easy drive and about a half an hour walk into the very pretty town of Melrose. The rooms are very big, well equipped and comfortable. The bedding is equally comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, particularly in reception. We had a couple of things not working in the room but someone came quickly to rectify the problem.

    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.

    Absolutely everything was just perfect. Will definitely be visiting The Townhouse hotel again. Rooms were fantastic, beds were really comfortable with lovely white ironed linen. We had dinner in the restaurant, which was amazing. Breakfast was cooked to order, which was really yummy. Top 10 marks to the Townhouse hotel and staff.
