Exceptional stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Townhouse. The superior room was exceptionally large, with a modern cosy feel and excellent ensuite shower facility. The breakfast and evening meal food was very good too. Staff very helpful and friendly. Melrose is a lovely small town with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.
