Had a one night stay with my dog. Had a single room, quite small, but with en-suite. Some of the stairs and hallways were in much need of redecorating. Overall really good value for money, although some areas looked a bit ‘tired’ linen was clean & bed comfortable. All in with Bed & breakfast better than camping & not much dearer. Would definitely go back.

Waste of money, find better
Really bad service throughout, on this our second stay here. I reserved an evening meal table and understand the staff were busy due to a wedding party, but we are all customers and deserve to treated the same. Food was not as I would have expected. Certain members of staff were polite, but others just impolite and it was obvious they were stressed due to the workload. Breakfast here is a complete shambles. As the state on arrival its between 8 and 9 but again the staff cannot cope. you queue for hot water for the tea and coffee machine which takes it seems 3 minutes a cup and when trying to get 2 cups it seems longer. When the breakfast you ordered does arrive its around 45 mins and cold, I sent mine back only for another 5 minutes wait, it actually came back colder. I just left in disgust. Save you money, there is easily better

Helpful staff but overpriced accommodation
The staff were very helpful and obliging and the food was very nice. However, both my bedroom and bathroom were small and overpriced in comparison to other b&b’s that I have stayed in.

Nice stay
The hotel was nice and the food was really good although service quite slow. However on the down side there are a couple of rooms where there is only a skylight window and unfortunately we were in one. The room was comfy and spacious but very musty due to lack of air.

In the Centre of Melrose and budget priced, good free parking, nice bar with real ale , were the plus factors. No lift, no towel rail or anti-slip shower mat were the minus factors.

The hotel seemed poorly-managed. The room needed decorating, blinds/curtains renewed, extractor fan improved, a decent-sized TV installed. The breakfast room was over-filled with tables/chairs so that it was barely possible to access buffet items. No marmalade; Scotland honestly! Poor value
