Friendly, efficient staff. Lovely venue with multiple bars and recreation rooms. Clean and tidy rooms. Very good breakfast.

Clive United Kingdom

A very pleasant stay. Staff friendly and helpful. Room looked newly refurbished. Entertainment available every evening although we were too tired to attend! Good choice of hot and cold buffet for breakfast although no obvious vegetarian alternatives ( like veggie sausages or haggis).

Gillian United Kingdom

Great shower, superbly comfy bed and lovely extras.

Alan United Kingdom

The staff were easy to deal with, ready to serve, This was good. The dinner was awful, both in quality and in service delayed beyond the acceptable. We were seated and then waited a full 20 minutes for our order to be taken. As a result we ate in Melrose for three nights. Our companion at table, who had endured these three nights of our absence also reported the offerings on those nights were pretty awful. On the other hand breakfasts were pretty good.

Robert United Kingdom

It was fine as I only spent one night so cannot give a full report.

Joe United Kingdom

I had quite a nice stay. Breakfast was good and about a mile walk to Melrose. Nice and cheap too The reception staff were lovely and welcoming

Chris United Kingdom

It was a lovely albeit unpretentious place to stay and I was warmly greeted. It perhaps needs a lick of paint here and there but was very clean and gave me all I required for a cosy and restful night with excellent parking. Value for money is quite exceptional and I shall recommend it to others.

Robert United Kingdom

Room was quiet. Easy access.Three nights entertainment all were most enjoyable.

Peter United Kingdom

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. It was only one mile from the beautiful town of Melrose. Very convenient to the railway station with trains to Edinburgh every 30 minutes.

Alison United Kingdom

Second room we had was perfect with bath a large and comfortable clean room. Easy access to Melrose and A1 Reasonable cost.

      On checking in offered my American Express card said did not accept it yet I booked the room through booking.com good job I had another card. Would not allow me a account to spend at the bar etc. General decor tired, room basic did have a bath that was small ok if you were 5foot or under not 6'2" went down to order food at 6-30 told would have to wait at least 2 hours as they had a coach party in not even a sorry a could not care less attitude, fellow guest who was standing at the side of me when I was told this was amazed was upset as he was part of the coach party, so I did not eat, breakfast was not until 8am but had to leave just after 7am so had no breakfast either, very very disappointing please booking .com take note, So if you are less than 5 foot and part of a coach party this is the hotel for you if you don't fit that criteria please please seek another Hotel

      No toiletries supplied. Yes, that fact is advertised but it would be better to install a couple of wall dispenser units and pop the room price up a few pence.

      Comfy bed in a single room.

      Hotel offered bar meals, in the bar. Separate from the restaurant. We ordered, then we're told chicken not available and that the chef's priority was the restaurant. So had to check if good was possible. Did get it after 40 mins. Originally told 15 mins, then 30 mins. Good was of basic standard. Couple in after us, at 6pm went through the same ritual. Why offer bar meals, if of poor quality and an inconvenience! Kept awake by load music/singing from the function room below.

      The room and location was good. Breakfast was included, and was of good quality. Good access to games room.

      When checking in we were rushed along as a bur tour was just arriving. There were no toiletries in the bathroom i.e. shampoo and shower gel which you would normally get in a hotel. We had to provide our own which is fine as long as you know toiletries will not be provided and you have to provide your own. For the price we paid we expected there to be at least shampoo. We did get two small bars of soap though. The entertainment at night was quite loud and was in the ballroom right above our rooms. We stayed over the weekend. The hotel caters for bus tours and can be quite busy. The menu for dinner was fairly limited but if you are prepared to walk a mile or drive into Melrose then you won’t be disappointed with the choice of restaurants.

      The bed was comfortable and breakfast was good. The staff at breakfast were very helpful and pleasant.
