Kirklands Bed & Breakfast

It’s setting was perfect for us, nestled in quite countryside, beautiful old property with lots of history, but close to family we were visiting

I loved it

Beautiful house in a fabulous location.

Breakfast was excellent and so was the knowledge of The hosts.

Nothing to add

The hosts where really nice, property spacious with large bedroom and bathroom in main house and quiet. It feels like staying in a really nice family home and very comfortable. Lovely grounds with sometimes Owls, Squirrels and other wildlife. Home made shortbread in room on guest tea tray was a nice fortifying treat during a busy day. Hosts very accommodating and helpful. Hosts Douglas and Penny have lots of tips about area for days out and things to see and general good local knowledge.

A lovely quiet rural location just a short drive from the A68 bridge over the River Tweed and Melrose, making it an excellent base for touring in the Borders. This large house dates from the 18th C and stands in its own grounds with views over woodlands. There are various signposted walks nearby. The interior is furnished in classic vintage style blended with modern facilities. We found it both comfortable and full of authentic historic character. The suite we had was spacious with a choice of two bedrooms, the twin being larger than the double. The friendly hosts were a source of good advice being native to the area. Breakfasts were something to look forward to with choices to suit.

Nothing to report.

Such a beautiful manor house situated in a rural section of Melrose. The house is decorated with lovely antiques, and the host, Douglas, is very welcoming and a wealth of information on the history and lore of the area. Breakfast was amazing, locally sourced products and fruit that was grown on the property. The bed was very comfortable and the views from our bedroom window lovely. Excellent hiking area on a woodsy trail just steps from the property, with a bubbling stream and birdsong along the path. I wished we could have stayed at least a day longer. We stayed three nights.

Like most older buildings the plumbing could be better and a house that size is hard to keep heated, but these small distractions were worth being in such a lovely home.

Breakfast was exceptional

Very little

Excellent period room

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kirklands, It's a beautiful house, full of character and set in lovely surroundings. Douglas was a wonderful host, very welcoming and happy to share his knowledge of the local area and provide advice on places to visit. Breakfast was delicious and included home grown produce. We would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you!
