The hotel is in a great location in the town center, close to Melrose Abbey, a supermarket, and several bus stops, making it very convenient. The room had a bathtub, and there was plenty of hot water, which was a nice bonus. However, the building seems old, and there were creaking noises. When other guests walked down the hallway, the sound echoed into the room, and I could also hear conversations from the neighboring rooms.

Room reasonable but a bit of a hike to get to it.

Good location right in the heart of Melrose. Bedrooms adequate for this type of hotel. We had an evening meal there which was good, with live music & a bar. Overall good value for the money.

Well-placed hotel in the town centre, but quite quiet. Good spacious room for our visit, but almost unusable in the evening due to lowest low energy lamps we have ever seen. They go on, but give no usable light. Couldn't plan our walk from maps for the next day, couldn't read our newspaper, nor read in bed. Travellers really must bring a head torch to use the room in the evening. Dazzling light in the bathroom, so had to read papers there.

We were a bit unsure if we had made the right choice of venue as we were the only customers in for lunch . The service was lovely & with a smile . The menu options were modern and the gluten free options were great . The food was super tasty . Served very hot and made to order . I had the gf mac n cheese and it was the most flavourful I’ve tasted to date . It was served with homemade gf Barrie bread & a lovely little side salad . My husband had the highland burger and said it was delicious. The peppercorn sauce served with it was really nice , all lovely and hot and made to order. We would highly recommend the G&A for a great lunch and also for the super choice of GF food

Friends and I found this “Jewel” in Melrose on a day trip from Rothbury, whilst looking for a lunch break. What a treat! We were warmly greeted by a very hospitable lady named Cheryl. Cheryl took our order for lunch and proceeded to make us very welcome with very detailed information about Melrose, venues to visit and local suppliers of deli foods to take home with us. Lunch was well worth the short wait! Absolutely delicious! Great value for money, accompanied by a glass or two of wine. Thank you Cheryl for a delightful lunch/ entertainment in Melrose, we certainly recommend and hope to visit again.

I stayed at the George and Abottsford Hotel for 2 nights at the end of September. The location of the hotel (in the centre of Melrose) was perfect for me. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed the breakfasts served.

Appalling Hotel. My Room was so bad that I left midway through the Night. I couldn't even bring myself to use the Shower. How on Earth they can possibly charge over a £100 for the room amazes me. The Windows didn't close properly, there was a massive gap at the bottom of the Room door. Wall paper was peeling away. The Bath was disgusting. Probably the worst Room I have stayed in during my 25 Years on the Road. Can't advise on the Bar/Restaurant as I didn't use them.
