Had a very warm welcome and was shown to my single room with private bathroom both of which were fresh, cosy and decorated to a very high standard. They had lots of lovely wee touches like a hot water bottle and a huge varieties of toiletries. Had a delicious dinner in next door's Marmion's and came back to a comfy,... More

This was the third time we have stayed at Dunfermline House and have never failed to be impressed by the high standards of this B&B. The standard of rooms and the quality of the breakfasts are equal to at least four star rating. If you're planning a visit to Melrose, Dunfermline House accommodation together with an evening meal at Burts... More

Wandering up Buccleugh St. looking for a place to stay after a tedious race up the M6, there was Brian standing in his doorway. He invited us to stay in the most genial way. We did go in and we did stay - and found the accomodation one of the best and at a price which made the hotels we... More

There are good hotels in Melrose, but this B & B offers twice as much at half the price. The rooms are five-star luxury, both in quality of furnishings and range of facilities, which include such thoughtful items as paracetamol and sticking plasters for walkers (St Cuthbert’s Way starts here). Breakfast is also way ahead of the competition, in quality... More

My husband and I, together with 2 friends have just returned from the Edinburgh Fringe and on our return we stayed two nights in the Scottish borders at Dunfermline House, Melrose. Our hosts, Alison and Brian were completely charming, the accommodation was excellent and the breakfast one of the best we have had. All this and at a very reasonable... More

Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit salad and good Scottish porridge as well as a full Scottish breakfast and a daily special. This was a great start to what... More

A true Scottish welcome from Bryan, who was tending the window-boxes, but dropped the onerous chore to help carry our cases to our room. The street can be busy but there is a large car park just across the road and it is free overnight. The twin room faced the street but was quiet and well appointed - in fact... More

Bright, spotless rooms and friendly, humorous host. We saw an amazing sunrise behind the abbey ruins from our window. Thin pillows were uncomfortable.
