About this hotel

Situated in the historic border town of Melrose, this hotel offers an ideal base for exploring the surrounding region. Occupying a site over 300 years old, it originally served as a coaching inn between Newcastle and Edinburgh, and hosted notable figures like Sir Walter Scott and William Wordsworth. All rooms are accessible and well-equipped. The on-site restaurant is open throughout the afternoon and evening, and guests can relax in the enclosed garden. The hotel is easily accessible by car or public transport from both Edinburgh and Newcastle.
