Never again! The owner and his partner got steadily drunk with two friends, whilst eating fish and chips in the bar area. The next night when we went in two young people were playing video games at full volume on the t.v. in the bar area. The room was o.k. with tea and coffee making facilities but was in dire... More

Just had a great stay at the Melrose I was on an intense driving course, I was on my own for the first 2 days then my Husband joined me and the owners allowed us to bring our little dog too. We had a great stay and found the hotel clean and cosy the decor is being updated at the... More

Very comfortable bed,TV,tea and coffee making facilities in room. Very friendly hosts. Excellent full English breakfast was served early for me as requested. Shower area could have been cleaner but for £25 for a single it was great value.

The couple... More

This has to be the nastiest hotel I have ever stayed in, whoever gave this hotel a four star rating is obviously deluded. The two ladies who do the breakfast service and double up as the cleaners are pleasant enough however I found the couple who run the place a bit stand offish and the whole decor looks like something...

i stayed her for a week while doing an intensive driving course, i had a single room which had good storage space for clothes and personal items, the shower was on the landing and i never had to wait for it despite the hotel appearing to be quite full. Warm with good water pressure. Breakfast was anything you wanted really,... More
