Top Melrose Hotel Reviews

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This property is in a quiet place right next to Dryburgh Abbey. It's a great location to explore the other abbeys and small towns in the area. The rooms were quite large with large bathrooms. It's an old building, so the floors slope, which for us, added to the charm. The restaurant is very good for dinner. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stay there."
