Bowden House B&B  

Set on St. Cuthbert's Walk just outside Melrose, this award-winning boutique B&B sits in the rolling Scottish Borders. About 3 miles from Melrose and a short drive to Melrose Abbey, Sir Walter Scott’s Courtroom, Abbotsford and Dryburgh Abbey — ideal for history lovers and countryside escapes.

Three individually decorated bedrooms with memory-foam beds, Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury bathrooms. Many rooms open onto private furnished balconies or patios with sweeping countryside views. The house feels cosy and personal — a log-fire guest lounge, private gardens and a heated boiler room for wet shoes, bikes and fishing kit.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free on-site self-parking. Terrace, private gardens and a breakfast room that opens to the patio. Bar/lounge and on-site dining options available. Bike parking, lobby fireplace, luggage storage and a heated boot room for outdoor gear.

Complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage. Bike parking and handy storage space make it easy to combine work with active days out.

Fantastic made-to-order breakfasts with vegetarian and vegan cooked options served in a bright breakfast room. Evening meals and packed lunches available on request. Wind down with a drink in the bar/lounge after a day of exploring.
