Guest Reviews

• Karen (9/5): Great value for a lovely apartment in Melrose. - Very central and comfortable. Everything you need for a short stay.
• Lucie (8/5): Abgesehen von der Sauberkeit ist die Unterkunft wirklich sehr schön und von der Lage her auch echt klasse. - Küche war gut ausgestattet. Lage war super, direkt in der Innenstadt und trotzdem relativ ruhig. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, es ist nur zu bedenken, dass man nur eine Decke pro Doppelbett hat. Auch die Möbel im Wohnzimmer waren sehr gemütlich und haben zum Entspannen eingeladen. Unter den Betten und dem Sessel im Wohnzimmer war SEHR viel Staub (vermutlich sollen deshalb auch die Möbel nicht umgestellt werden). Im Badezimmer waren fremde Haare auf dem Boden. Auf den Treppen ist Teppich und auch der war voll mit Haaren und Staub. Das war relativ blöd.
• Jennifer (8/5): Lovely stay in central Melrose, will possibly book again for next year - Love the location & ambience. Great for a short break & our return visit, same time last year Had an issue with the TV, it worked great the first day & able to watch iplayer series & live news etc. But next day it would not start via handset & just had green light flashing! This was reported via Booking.com messages, but no response. Google suggested it was a power outage problem!
• terry (8/5): Nice apartment, excellent location, should have been cleaner. - Perfect location, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, shower was good, big soft towels, supermarket 5mins walk away, easy free parking. A good choice to explore the area. Noticed straight away that the floors hadn't been hoovered. Dust balls rolling around, crumbs on floor etc, does kind of make you wonder what else hasn't been done. We looked for a hoover to do it ourselves, found a stick hoover that was ram full of dirt so didn't use it. Also, there is a opening between the first and second floors in front of the back window that is not guarded in any way. A toddler could easily fall down that gap and be seriously injured. Poor light level in the kitchen due to under cupboard lighting not working. There is no oven gloves, take your own.
• Elizabeth (7/5): - Apartment is great location in heart of Melrose, Apartment has enough space and is equipped with the necessary items needed for your stay. Host let us check in early and kinded left an Easter egg for us which was a nice touch. Everything else clean. In need of some small repairs, broken floor tiles in bathroom just covered with tape, wallpaper peeling off wall in bathroom - just minor fixes that would bring the apartment back to its full potential. Only negative was the apartment had feather pillows which my partner is allergic too and when contacted the host to ask if there was any alternative no response was received.
• Janette (9/5): Comfortable and well presented apartment in the heart of Melrose -
• julie (5/5): My review - The accommodation was situated centrally to the town. The keys were easy to use to gain entrance. Parking found nearby for free. Kitchen and bathroom used very good quality decoration and fixtures. Good beds and very comfortable mattress and comfortable sofa in livingroom. No instructions whatsoever for how to use anything in the accommodation ie. Electric shower, heating ..TV .. meaning time wasting messages to owner and uncertainty how to use the necessary facilities during my stay. Both bedrooms did not have proper curtains. No blackout blind for large skylight roof window in first bedroom so bed receives daylight from early morning and 2nd bedroom only had a very thin gauze see through curtain. This meant I ended up sleeping on the sofa both nights to try and get my sleep. No instructions for how to use the electric shower. Would have appreciated readable advice nearby as to where the switches were to turn it on. Also had no idea how to turn bathroom heater on. TV in livingroom had continual crackly reception Interference over the screen the whole time I was there and was totally unwatchable. Ownere messaged to say it was due to faulty handset but I believe the TV or the reception was more possibly the cause. The TV was also situated very high up on the wall, a bit like looking at an airport flight advisor screen instead of at a lower viewing comfortable level when seated. A lot of stairs to negotiate , understand nothing can be done regarding this. Flat felt quite cold and functional. Decoration quite plain. Great sofa, beds and mattresses and bedding nice but no mattress covers beneath the sheet. Also no blankets available anywhere. Just the duvet.
• Ray (8/5): Great for a short stay, with everything we required. Right in the heart of the town and close to food, drink, shops, wal - Great location and plenty of room. All facilities required Heating was a bit hit and miss, but we managed fine.
• Maureen (8/5): Very good accommodation - Location amazing Apartment fitted out beautifully Hot water fabulous Bedrooms very light and no blackout curtains or blinds. TV too high on wall caused a sore neck.
• Galloway (8/5): 2 nights in Melrose. - Fantastic location with parking nearby. Very spacious and a lovely well equipped, modern kitchen. Big TV with streaming and comfortable furnishings. Climbing the unusual stairs to go to the shower and toilet and hunting for the switch for the shower. Also the apartment was quite cold and it was difficult to maintain a steady temperature. Although the electric fire was excellent for heating the living room.
• John (9/5): Would stay again. - Excellent location, Annabel was great. Highly recommend. Nothing
• Jane (9/5): -
• Colin (10/5): -
• Janet (8/5): Comfortable and convenient - The TV had no signal.
• Ann (9/5): Very good. We enjoyed staying in the flat. The location of the bathroom was the only negative - Great location, well stocked kitchen, comfortable living area, quiet location. It would have been useful to know the bathroom was on the floor above the rest of the apartment. As an elderly woman, always needing the loo in the night, it was a nuisance to have to go upstairs. It would be helpful if this could be mentioned in the initial blurb rather than waiting to have reviews complaining about it.
• Hannah (1/5): Poor - No linen on the beds and no toilet roll provided, when contacting the owner we were told there is nothing she can do as she was 'boarding a flight' how convenient. Had to fork out our own pockets!!
• Hannah (8/5): Lovely comfortable, quiet getaway - The location was perfect and central to everything, including a very good bus network and close to the train station. The apartment was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Free parking outside the apartment itself. Very quiet location! The tv and remote didn't work bar being able to stream youtube, which we weren't made aware of but the host did communicate her apologies. The heating is also controlled remotely by the host, which is fine but I personally didn't like having to message to have it changed.
• Meg (7/5): A pleasant stay in a lovely location - The apartment is very stylish and beautifully decorated, and overall a nice place to stay. Annabel was responsive when we arrived and helpful with any initial queries. Melrose itself is a lovely place and we enjoyed exploring the area. A few details weren’t entirely clear from the listing and would have been useful to know in advance. The apartment is on the first floor, the second bedroom has a slightly awkward doorway, and despite the light curtains mentioned, the room doesn’t get dark due to an external light. The main bedroom only has a skylight (which is mentioned in the listing) as its window, which wasn’t ideal for us personally (I hadn’t realised this was the window), although it may suit others. We also found the apartment cold at times, as the heating needed to be managed remotely, and the directions took some time to follow - worth checking yourself so you don’t get lost like we did.
• Gerard (8/5): Excellent stay - Location was excellent an clean Stairs were quirky
• Rachel (8/5): Great apartment - The location is brilliant and it is a quirky, comfortable apartment. Lack of dark curtains or blinds in the bedrooms.
• Fiona (9/5): The apt had everything we required while visiting family in Melrose. - The apt was ideal for staying close to family living in Melrose. Very comfortable and close to all amenities The bedroom window could have done with a dark blind as well as the curtain to allow a restful sleep
• Lowdon (8/5): A lovely host who kept in touch - A lovely comfortable apartment perfectly situated The bathroom being on a different level and the number of stairs up and down to one of the bedrooms
• Lorna311 (7/5): - Good situation right in the middle of Melrose. Nice bright living area. To be honest I didn't want to have to leave a slightly negative review but left a note regarding one of our issues instead . The owner has not replied to me directly regarding this ( has had over a week to) which is what I find most disappointing the lack of customer care and communication. The main issue was I cut my toe on the broken tiles on the bathroom floor, the tile pieces moved and stuck upwards when walking on the floor, super sharp. These have clearly been broken for a long time and to my mind it's inexcusable not to get them repaired, it's called a running cost and all holiday let owners have a duty of care to guests to ensure their safety. Minor niggles like previous guests dirty dishes in the dishwasher and some dirty kitchen ware. No mattresss/ pillow protectors which these days is unusual and a bit icky. The rubbish situation is also unacceptable, being asked to dump our rubbish in the co-op bins , a 5 minute walk away seems odd and presumably council tax is payed on the building so a bin should be available outside it. As I said though I genuinely wanted to avoid airing most of this here and gave a right to reply but heard nothing back,so communication clearly not a strong point either.
• Tatyana (9/5): - Great stay in a very nice, comfortable, and well-equipped apartment. Excellent location right in the center of a charming small town and convenient for exploring the Scottish borders. Nothing
• Michael (9/5): It’s like living in someone’s home , a great little place - Central position with nearby free or cheap parking. Apartment is roomy and beautifully furnished Having to go up to second floor for only bathroom
• Aleid (9/5): - De locatie en de stijlvolle inrichting Niets
• Gregor (8/5): Really nice place to stay - Location was perfect No curtain on bedroom skylight
• Deborah (8/5): Had everything we needed - It was well located
• Elizabeth (7/5): Good - Location was perfect. Well equipped kitchen and nice lounge area. Beds were comfortable in reasonably Sizes bedrooms No covering on bedroom skylight made it impossible to sleep after sunrise. Stair were also a problem especially for anyone with mobility issues.
• Martin (8/5): Ideal location for a short stay in the heart of Melrose. - The accomodation is perfectly situated in the heart of Melrose close within walking distance of the town shops, cafes and restaurants. There is a comfortable lounge area in which to relax. Good kitchen facilities with every thing you would want. The main bedroom has a skylight with no curtain, so not good if you prefer a dark room. Likewise the second bedroom has thin curtains. Some narrow stairs to different floors
• Antony (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful Melrose and will be back again. - The apartment was just as described. Very clean, good sized bedrooms and beds, lovely shower and bathroom, very good kitchen with everything provided that we needed, great sitting room over looking the high street. The whole apartment was of exceptional standard and in a perfect location. Thank you very much for letting us stay and we would love to return hopefully again next year. Nothing.
• Helen (9/5): Great location in the heart of Melrose - Great location, on the main street of Melrose. Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and good shower. Bathroom was up some stairs.
• Jennifer (8/5): Perfect short break, close to all amenities & extremely comfortable- we will be back I am sure - Great location (once we found it), very tastefully decorated. Perfect for a 2-night break Nothing to dislike
• Rob (10/5): Exceptional - lovely, quirky apartment. great location. nothing I can think of
• Iris (9/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quirky unique apartment in the middle of Melrose. - Lovely apartment, scrupulously clean, quirky but comfortable, very well equipped. Very centrally located, shops, bars, restaurants, coffee shops all nearby. On street parking very useful too! Steep stairs with bathroom up on top floor. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. No blinds on bedroom windows/ skylight in bedroom, so we were woken when it became light outside.
• John (8/5): Convenient place to stay when exploring the Borders, but not suitable for all. - The central location, close parking available, and the general good presentation, with nice light and airy living area The narrow spiral staircase, particular problems being an exposed dangerous drop into the cellar on entry, and the need to ascend one floor to the bathroom from the bedroom, a particular problem in the middle of the night.
• Sharon (6/5): Pleasant - No ventilation in main bedroom and no blind to.keep light out in the morning. Needs curtains on the landing /stairs windows as bathroom at top of the apartment. Hot water scalding hot Unlocked gate to shared cellar stair a danger Kitchen unfinished No ariel connection to TV Many cobwebs Bedroom side cabinets an lights thick with dust Unaware at booking of the many stairs time for us but not if you have mobility issues or small children
• Catherine (10/5): Exceptional - Only issue was the stairs and would have like a few more coat hangers and storage in the bedrooms
• Luke (7/5): Good -
• John (6/5): Nice apartment in great location but our stay was cold due to failure in communication with owner. - Locartion great, furniture and bedding excellent, kitchen clean and well equipped. Decoration quirky. Spacious living/dining room with view over main street. Heating by electric radiators - thermostat temperature can not be adjusted at the flat, only changeable by contacting the owner (if you can). No normal terrestial TV channels, only streaming services. Bathroom is up awkward set of stairs from both bedrooms. Bedroom 1 too bright in mornings due to window in ceiling.
• Welshie (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the location, the quality of furnishings were second to none, they were top quality. Great well equipped kitchen. We had everything we needed and more. Unfortunately, I have some mobility issues, and there were a few flights of stairs, but it didn't stop us from loving our stay.
• Felton (8/5): We had a lovely stay in the apartment and in Melrose. - Ideal location for ALL amenities, shops, pubs, restaurants etc in the town and around the area, walks, sites etc. Close to local transport facilities and car parking. The apartment was very comfortable, and although we didn't use most of the 'white goods', very well equipped. It was a very cold spell and we didn't have control of heating throughout the whole apartment, this could only be done by contacting the owner. Lack of instruction for appliances, TV and general information regarding facilities.
• Carolyn (7/5): Good - Location, spacious, well equipped Very cold, advised we could contact owner to change but no phone number supplied
• Viki (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely apartment. Cosy and comfortable. All the things you would need and brilliant that there is free on street parking right outside
• Laura (10/5): Brilliant place for anyone! - Absolutely beautiful place, Kitchen and living room were amazing
• Lorraine (7/5): Good location, clean and well equipped apartment - Location Lounge and Kitchen area Kitchen well equipped Shower leaking from hose and head to heavy to fix onto bracket meaning had to hold while showering Lock needed on internal lobby gate as can be pushed open easily to cellar staircase Light required in inner lobby where the above is located Heating required in hall of fist floor as cold
• Will (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (8/5): Enjoyed Melrose and surrounding area. - The apartment is very nice. Good location in centre of the town. The decor is good. Beds very comfortable. Towels and bed linen of good quality. Not good for anyone with difficulty with stairs. A few cobwebs. A few things needing general maintenance . We managed fine with the heating as we had the living room fire on, but don’t think it’s a good idea that you need to contact the host to have the heating altered in any way.
• Katherine (8/5): Charming apartment for a peaceful break in Melrose - The property was in a charming old building, in an excellent location in the centre of the village. It was a brilliant location for a peaceful couple of days away from home with lots of gift shops, walks, and coffee spots to enjoy. The apartment was really nicely decorated and the beds and chairs were very comfortable. There were extra blankets in case you got cold and the large living room windows brought in a lot of natural light. The addition of a coffee machine was a nice touch. The host was also kindly able to accommodate our request for a change in the check-in time. Like a lot of short term rentals, there could've been a few more dishes, e.g. there were only two bowls which is fine for only two people but, if four people were staying, they might struggle at breakfast. The only other slight niggle was that we couldn't find any outside bin for the property to dispose of our rubbish at the end of the stay and we didn't receive a response from the host when we asked that question. These are minor niggles though, it was a really lovely place to stay.
