Great place to start walking the St Cuthbert's Way.
Pros:

I'm a vegetarian and the food was excellent. Best full breakfast I have had in a long time. The single room was comfortable, clean and quiet.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
The pint in the beer garden was also very lovely.

Cons:

Nothing.

Another excellent visit to Burt's Hotel in Melrose
Pros:

We have stayed here before and find it very suitable for staying at to break our journey either to or from Scotland. The rooms are fine, easy parking and being situated in Melrose there are plenty of places to visit in walking distance to relax and unwind. This time we ate in the restaurant and it was very good indeed.

Pros:

The service and hotel location (for walking the SCW trail) were great. It was only a short stay and we had a very early start , so were unable to stay for breakfast but the hotel were kind enough to provide alternative supplies to take with us and keep us going.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful Borders town
Pros:

Everything was wonderful. Nick, the owner was so kind to us accommodating our needs and we both got a beautiful comfortable room. We dined in the hotel and had a delicious bar supper and a lovely breakfast was included in our room rate. I would highly recommend this warm and welcoming family-run hotel

Cons:

All good 👍🏻

Good old school accommodation in the heart of Melrose
Pros:

Much to like, but lack of decent alternatives locally means that you do pay a premium. Tweedbank station a short taxi ride (or a very pleasant river walk) from the hotel making a day trip into Edinburgh easy
