Stayed at the OBH again and if anything they have manage to make my stay more pleasant and enjoyable. Its a wonderful place to stay after a day out in the Borders and if you fancy the best breakfast in Melrose then look no further

Spent one night at the Old Bank B&B whilst cycling the Tweed Cycleway. Very happy with the excellent facilities and efficient service. (Very cycle friendly!) The entire house is beautifully decorated with a colourful selection of artworks. The breakfast room (the old manager's office) is particularly interesting. Owner Dave is funny and informative. Will definitely return.

Stayed here during a bike trip over the May bank holiday. Really great place, very unique, and a great host. Bedrooms are fantastic with really good sized bathrooms.

Stayed for one night only, during a short walking holiday, although this is the second time we have stayed at this B&B in the last year. This is without a doubt one of the best B & B's we have ever stayed at. The attention to detail is second to none. Very nice room, tastefully decorated. Always lots of water... More

I echo all that's been said. The b&b was just superb. Right in the middle of town - just walked across the road to get something to eat. The welcome was warm. The bed was very comfy, and the shower was hot. What more could you ask for.

The Old Bank House B&B lived up to our expectations based on the other reviews on Trip Advisor. David was an excellent host and the accommodation was very nice indeed. There are only three rooms and we had two of them, both with views of the High Street and the snow dusted hills in the background. The bathrooms in each... More

Much later than planned - we wanted to say what a very pleasant and relaxing time we had in Melrose at the Old Bank House. David was a most genial and entertaining host. The place was well appointed with lots of interesting features and artworks including a fine display of Edinbro Festival posters. Dining room was great with Spode Blue... More

David is very responsive to emails - which we appreciate. Location is right between the two main streets in Melrose. Five minute walk to abbey. Easy parking - though maybe not in high season. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast selection was done the night before and includes fish.

We stayed at Old Bank House just one night but it was enough to be delighted by this great place. The rooms and the whole house are very nicely decorated, and you can feel that they've paid close attention to each detail. We enjoyed David's chat a lot, too and will definitely plan another trip there some time. Ah, I... More
