Good location right on the high street in Melrose, but the hotel is very dated and in need of redecoration. I seem to have been upgraded and had a much better room than I expected, very large with a bay window overlooking the street, so I was very pleased with my stay. Breakfast is good and freshly cooked to order.

I didn't like the fact that a storm had taken out the tv aerial so no tv available, suggest getting tv via the website as not affected, boring evening in my room on my phone watching tv on my phone
