My stay in Melrose
Property seems very tired now and I was disappointed not to see any card indicating their WiFi code when I got to my room after reception had closed.
Staff I did encounter were certainly pleasant enough and breakfast was ample, reasonably priced and very tasty.
Toilet in the bedroom was particularly tricky to get a flush from, which could have been quite distressing for a less well seasoned traveller...

Comfortable small hotel
Comfortable bedroom, good food, we ate dinner and breakfast in the hotel. Staff were friendly but the only let down was the bathroom which was very dated. Perfectly functional but could do with upgrading. Not really a problem but also there was no hairdryer, which has become normal in most hotels so hadn’t thought to take my own.

would definitely stay here again
Would describe the place as "quaint", a bit run down (condition of bathrooms, floors) but also well cared for and clean (bedding/towels). Im certain all rooms differ, but we happened to have a lovely view out the window. Centrally located in Merose, friendly and accomodating staff. Included breakfast had a variety of options. Slept comfortably, would definitely stay here again.
