Gorgeous setting with the most wonderful view of the River Tweed from our room. Beautiful walks locally. Having Dryburgh Abbey literally on the doorstep was an added bonus.
The front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming - the staff in the restaurant were helpful and professional.
Breakfast was tasty and in a beautiful room with stunning views. A choice of lovely Scottish products on the hot menu as well as a good selection of cold food on the buffet.
The room was clean and tidy, with basic decor. The bathroom was clean and functional with a great shower!!
Our meal on the final evening was very tasty even though the restaurant was not quite what we were led to believe.

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.
A great home from home, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. I would say that the cottage has been recently refurbished to a good level. It is a short, scenic walk across the suspension footbridge to the lovely town of Melrose with its many quaint shops, pubs and restaurants, plus the abbey. There is also the Michelin star Seasons restaurant just a few meters down the road from the cottage. Large number of lovely walks nearby too, plus it's close to the Borders Hospital, which was the main draw for us on this visit.
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.
Clare and Donald were exceptional hosts, from the very warm welcome with a hot drink and millionaire shortbread to our farewell with Tablet Fudge they were fantastic. The accommodation was first class, very clean, really comfortable and beautiful surroundings. Breakfast was lovely (especially the fruit and yogurt), we also liked Boris the Cat! We highly recommend staying at the Barn at the Coach House when you are near Melrose. The town of Melrose itself is also lovely.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful property and grounds near the river and close to Dryburgh Abbey. We had a spacious, luxurious room with a sitting area with a view of the river. The bathroom has a long bathtub. The hotel has a bar and restaurant with outdoor sitting options.
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.
A nicely decorated spacious, well equipped cottage set in attractive grounds and in a peaceful location. The cottage is only a short walk from the centre of Melrose. We'd highly recommend this property.
