Book Cheap Hotels in Glentress

Perfect location in Melrose, right on the village square and within walking distance to Melrose Abbey. Lovely location. The front desk person was kind enough to call across the street to another hotel that she knew was still serving dinner to reserve a table for us upon our arrival. One of my favorite places that we visited during our two week vacation in the UK.

Property was absolutely beautiful and inviting. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the castles history. Now.....there is a big but. If you are driving your own car to the castle then this won’t apply to you. Access to the actual castle is a headache. You could catch the number 3 bus and it will drop you at the entrance.......then you’ll have to walk 15 minutes at a fast pace. Not fun when it’s dark and raining. NO shuttle or staff to pick you up. You could take the X95 bus...but no one has ever heard of it apparently. Uber does not serve the area, as stated by the castle check in desk at the castle. Sooo....you’ll have to take a taxi from the castle to Waverly bridge and visa versa for £20 each way (£40 round trip to town). Well, that really bites..... But overall, the place is fantastic, the staff are lovely, and the breakfast is awesome. It’s just the commute sucks.

We stayed here for 3 nights during our 7 day trip to Scotland and this was our favorite place. The staff was excellent even offered us plates and cutlery when they saw us bringing in take out the first night. We had both breakfast and dinner in the restaurant and everything was delicious. The rooms were very clean and nice, and I loved the shower it had fantastic water pressure. I would want to stay here again if we ever make it back to Scotland.

Amazing! Highly recommend. Beautiful grounds and great pool

Great grounds. Unresponsive staff. The food service was horrible in the dungeon. Not what you would expect for that price.

Lovely grounds and beautiful building. Rooms could use a little updating such as carpeting, tile grouting, light bulbs out etc. Overall good experience though.
