George and Abbotsford

📍 High St, Melrose
★★★ 7.7 (104 reviews)

"The hotel is in a great location in the town center, close to Melrose Abbey, a supermarket, and several bus stops, making it very convenient. The room had a bathtub, and there was plenty of hot water, which was a nice bonus. However, the building seems old, and there were creaking noises. When other guests walked down the hallway, the sound echoed into the room, and I could also hear conversations from the neighboring rooms."

HOUSE AND ROOM WERE VERY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE."

Buccleuch Arms

Buccleuch Arms

📍 The Green, St Boswells, Saint Boswells
★★★★ 7.8 (39 reviews)

"I booked for 11 people to have an 8am breakfast on 10th November 2023. The booking was made over the phone on 7th November. The person taking my booking was very polite and competent and confirmed the booking, saying they looked forward to seeing us. We arrived at 07.50am and were told that no booking had been made. I showed them that I had spoken with someone on the 7th but they denied all knowledge. The girl then said that they would pull some tables together for us but we did this ourselves to help out. She brought out crockery and cutlery and then one pot of coffee which did not even give us a quarter of a cup each. We sat and waited until 08.35am before the orders were taken for breakfast. Some came through at 9am. There was no toast, butter, sauces etc. provided. Three breakfasts had not been cooked. I said to the staff that I had been coming to this hotel for several years with this shooting party and had never had any previous problems. One person had ordered scrambled eggs on toast, was given one slice of toast and a very small portion of scrambled egg and this cost £16, absolutely outrageous. We paid for the breakfast which had been served and I informed them that that I would not come back to this hotel ever again due to the service received by myself and my friends. The staff member who took payment did not apologise for the service we had received and actually did not speak. "

"Beautiful renovated stables( the name of the cottage). Enough space to give two people plenty of space. Well furnished with 1 & 1/2 bath, room to cook if you must. Could not be quieter. Huge outdoor area if you bring kids. Close to Melrose and other villages so there are lots of restaurants available."

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel ★★★
"Gorgeous old family estate turned Hotel/Guest House. Spacious and comfortable room. Perfect location to come back to after driving around exploring the Scottish Boarders. Breakfast service was lacking in its service. Young and inexperienced staff spent too much time standing around doing nothing instead of ensuring the buffet was stocked, used dishes cleared off tables, or even tables set for guests."

Buccleuch Arms ★★★★
"What a shame as this hotel could be good if it made a few changes. As you arrive there is an overwhelming smell of bleach and then you enter a area that is like a railway waiting room to find reception area that is rarely manned. Once you get to your room you find the hot water is lukewarm at best (room 1) and my friend in room 16 said his shower did not have any water pressure at all and was unusable. The carpets and chairs are worn and the whole place is really in need of a massive refurbishment. Just no fun to stay there. On the positive side the staff are very good despite working in conditions that work against them and the food is good."

Harleyburn Cottages ★★★★
"Wow! What an absolutely stunning cottage and grounds. We have had the best short break with our 2 doodles and we cannot thank our hosts enough for a beautiful retreat into the country (sorely needed). We stayed in the stables and the cottage is immaculate with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be back 🫶"
