We spent 3 nights at Fauhope House and loved every minute. It is a beautiful house and our room was lovely and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Ian and Sheila are great hosts and we would recommend Fauhope House to anyone visitng the Borders.

Two couples on a walking tour of the Borders region. We dragged across the chain bridge from Melrose, climbed the hill, and fell exhausted into the Fauhope House. Our spirits immediately revived! What a charming and beautiful place. Every room is a delight -- the colors and furnishings a treat for the eyes. Sitting in the garden -- very pleasant,... More

We stayed here in this setting overlooking Melrose for one night. We will be back. We had a delightful welcome to a gracious home and delightful garden with wonderful African metal scuptures. A lift down to the town for an evening meal was volunteered eagerly. A great breakfast was in a splendid dining room with silverware in everyday use. I... More

The owners, Sheila and Ian, are extremely welcoming and endeavour to make sure you have all you need, including providing helpful information on the surrounding area. Being at Fauhope was a wonderful experience and I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

We have just returned from our latest visit to Fauhope and I find it hard to believe it just gets better each time. As usual Sheila and Ian were perfect hosts and made us feel so welcome in thier beautiful home - nothing is ever too much trouble. To describe the bed as comfortable would be a major understatement -... More

Sheila had kindly arranged taxis for us to dine in a delightful restaurant in Melrose. The bedrooms are beautiful, well equipped with tea and coffee, CD player, magazines, TV, hair... More

What can I say, we all have our own opinions and this is mine. A party of eight arrived from various parts of the country to attend a wedding in Melrose and had chosen this B&B. We arrived in the dark and slightly late on a Friday night as the flight had been delayed. The owner, Shelia, had kindly booked... More
