“lovely warm welcome”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This was our second trip to the Borders - but the first at The Townhouse. We were warmly greeted by lovely staff at reception and ate in the Brasserie for lunch. The young waitress was charming and helpful and the food great without being exceptional. Our room was overlooking Market Square, was well presented though a littte warm!
We ate one night at local Italian and the other at sister hotel Burts.
The area is beautiful and quiet (unlike the Lakes) and we thoroughly enjoyed our trek up the Eildon Hills.
Overall a smashing little hotel and in our view, the staff being a great asset to the owners (Henderson family).

Room Tip: Rooms at the front of the Hotel overlook the pretty Market Square

“Lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Lovely hotel very nicely restored and with a trendy edge which doesn't take away from the building at all. The town is also lovely. We ate dinner the night we stayed and the food and service was excellent. The breakfast was fine but when we asked if we might have a vegetarian version of the cooked breakfast i.e just take off the meat....they literally did just that. It would have been nice to have been given say an extra egg etc. Especially as the woman on the next table who WAS having the full cooked breakfast was asked just after us whether she wanted more than one egg!! A minor quibble and I would stay here again.

“What a find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

We booked this hotel for a two night break. The room (upgraded on arrival to superior) was excellent; I have paid a lot more for smaller suites! We ate in the Brasserie. We have already recommended this hotel to friends and look forward to a return visit ourselves.

“Lovely hotel, lovely staff - spot on”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

This hotel is an absolute gem; Melrose is in the heart of the most undervalued and underappreciated part of Scotland. This hotel is as welcoming, comfortable and as good as any you will find in it's class.

Staff were thoroughly charming - special mention to the lovely young ladies in the bar/restaurant, and to the helpful and informative management who positively added to our stay.

Food is great - room was delightful. A1 overall.
