Bowden House B&B - Melrose

the venue was lovely old, i greatly enjoyed the stay and the location was amazing right by bowden house, the beautiful scottish borders and the garden. had fabulous and clean room with views over the hills and wake-up service was available in it.

The staff was gorgeous and the host too. There was free Wi-Fi throughout the property and the service in general was TERRIFIC.

Perfect birthday getaway!

We spent 2 nights celebrating my partner's bday, and wow! The house is fine and the gardens are so chill. Uta was super helpful with tips for local eats. The breakfast was scrumptious! Only slight bummer was the shower had a bit of low pressure, but seriously loved our stay here.

ideal base for exploring melrose's fine abbeys and gardens

We enjoyed our weekend stay, with Melrose Abbey just less than a 5-minute walk away and the beautiful Harmony Garden almost 2 km from the B&B, making it so easy to stroll around and take in the sights at our own pace.

The views from our Rococo room were fine. Plus, we totally loved sipping tea on the back terrace while soaking in the landscape!

The Superior Double Room was super comfy! The bed was really cozy, and I slept like a baby. The decor was charming and gave a homely vibe. A nice touch was the beautiful garden view right outside. Just a bit of a trek for fresh milk, a minor inconvenience.

Bowden House B&B features a beautifully decorated interior with fine gardens that are easy to navigate for seniors. The vibrant floral arrangements and exquisite framing provide a good atmosphere that enhances the entire experience.

A small fridge in the room would be helpful.

The Thai food nearby was a culinary revelation, and Uta's breakfasts were an absolute feast! Fresh fruit plates and cooked-to-order delights made our mornings nice. Plus, the beautiful gardens offered the perfect backdrop to start the day.

A tad cheeky, but fresh milk was downstairs in the kitchen-nice, but a bit of a trek early in the AM! A mini fridge upstairs would have been a nice touch.

beautiful gardens, exquisite framing, senior-friendly accessibility

Not having a fridge in the room is a hassle!!! A trek to get fresh milk from the kitchen downstairs is inconvenient, especially when you need it early or late!!! Payment options could also be improved for overseas guests!!!

Couple's dream getaway!

The breakfasts were very nice! Seriously, Uta makes this amazing fruit platter that's a work of art before serving up your choice of cooked breakfast. Plus, the views from the terrace at breakfast just about knocked me off my feet. It reminded me of you were living in a painting.

Look, it wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but honestly, it was worth every penny.

Delicious breakfasts and beautiful gardens!

I was blown away by the very nice breakfasts that included a fine fruit platter and cooked-to-order options. Uta's passion for hospitality, and the picturesque gardens were the perfect backdrop for a relaxing start to the day. Though I wished for a mini fridge in the room for convenience, the overall experience was still fantastic.

would definitely book again

The breakfast was a real highlight with an amazing fruit platter and cooked dishes made to order. Our room had a cozy feel with a comfortable bed, and the decor was charming. Uta's local recommendations for dining were spot on. The gardens were beautiful and the setting was serene.

What an absolutely amazing place to stay! The gardens were stunning, and the breakfast was delicious. Uta was incredibly helpful with her local recommendations, and the bed was super comfy!

What a wonderful experience! The spacious room offered amazing views, and I loved the delicious fruit platter at breakfast. The hosts' local insights.
