    I loved to be in this place. I had 2 nights in Melrose, spending the time here lovely. Booked a room for access to hot water. The location was secluded, near to such a beautiful valley next to the abbey ruins and directly on the banks of the river tweed as well as Melrose and Kelso.

    My partner and I stayed at Dryburgh Abbey for a peaceful weekend getaway. The junior staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel right at home. The public rooms were tastefully furnished, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding areas, with plenty of picturesque walks nearby. The Bistro was particularly cozy, offering a more comfortable dining experience than the main restaurant. the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable and relaxing. We highly recommend a visit to this charming hotel.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.
