Such a beautiful elegant historical coaching inn on the town square of the pretty Border town of Melrose. Melrose is world-famous for its Abbey & Gardens and also has a lovely range of traditional shops – real eye candy and perfect for a day away or as a touring base.

This lovely hostelry has award-winning fare and the staff here – and at their sister venue The Townhouse across the square – are friendly and helpful. The food is carefully sourced and beautifully presented, whether you are dining in the restaurant or their charming and relaxing lounge bar for more informal meals.

Members of the prestigious Scotch Beef Club. A great place to tarry awhile, eat and stay.

Also with lovely self catering option nearby – see photo

Border country is often a well-kept secret! The country roads with breath-taking views, heather-clad hills and pretty villages make it a fabulous holiday destination – far from the madding crowd yet full of landscapes and historic sites, folklore and a hive of local activities.
