Top Cardrona Hotel Reviews

George and Abbotsford Hotel

George and Abbotsford Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The communal areas were well decorated and clean. The food was of a very good standard, especially the breakfast. The only slight downside, the decor in the bedroom was very tired (nothing a quick coat of paint wouldn't cure) and the long route to the rooms could cause problems for older people or those with mobility issues. On the whole a very pleasant stay and we would revisit if we return to Melrose. Recommended."

10/10 Excellent
"This property is in a quiet place right next to Dryburgh Abbey. It's a great location to explore the other abbeys and small towns in the area. The rooms were quite large with large bathrooms. It's an old building, so the floors slope, which for us, added to the charm. The restaurant is very good for dinner. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stay there."

10/10 Excellent
"Staying in an actual castle was a dream come true for this soon to be 50 year old! The room was amazing and staff were phenomenal. The food was terrific - both the basement restaurant and the breakfast room. We only stayed one night due to our busy schedule but would've loved to stay and enjoy the beautiful grounds. Price was similar to a night in a 2-3 star hotel in London, which was shocking - would've much rather stayed here!!! This was a bucket list check off for me for sure!"
