I was recommended this hotel for its food by an old colleague who has lived and worked in the Borders for years. His comment was that it was the best in the region. So I booked the restaurant of the hotel. When we arrived for Sunday night dinner the restaurant itself was empty and, on enquiring, I discovered we were... More

Popped in for a business lunch. Nachos to share (which is actually pretty unusual, considering the rest of the menu) - homemade salsa and guacamole put them above the average. The mains were excellent - the fish was huge. My supreme of chicken was great, well presented - the celeriac dauphinoise was top! A bit more expensive than a typical... More

My daughter and I had stopped in Melrose after touring around to eat at another restaurant which had great reviews. Unfortunately, they didn't start dinner until 6 p.m. and we didn't think we could wait that long, so we went over to Burt's for a drink. Before we knew it, it was 6 p.m. and instead of going to the... More

Thought the food was really good, well cooked and superbly presented. We went with friends who live in the area and they thought it was the best venue - now we understand why they might think that. It was a lovely meal.

We stopped here for lunch on the way south at the end of a holiday, and it's a great place to spend some time people-watching and relaxing. The beer is well-kept and well chosen. Of the two pubs in the 2012 CAMRA guide, this is the one to go for (the other one has changed hands). A good test of... More

Set in the ancient Market Square at Melrose, with ample car parking in the hotel grounds this hotel is an excellent base to explore the Scottish Borders. Food is excellent and the accommodation is very good. The staff are helpful and will go out of their way to assist residents.

Everything on the menu is good, some great and one or two dishes excellent. Venison casserole is superb, wash it down with a pint of Game Bird, the outstanding locally brewed ale. Nicks picks from the wine list are never a disappointment.
