Had a lovely stay at the Townhouse hotel, Melrose. Stayed for 2 nights in a delux double room which was a large room with a sofa area in addition to a large bed. Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast had a good array of choices, freshly prepared. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel but the dining room was very busy so food must have been good. Would stay again.

Spacious room, lots of drawers and a wardrobe for storage. It was very quiet during our stay although there were plenty of other guests. Very comfortable bed, and the fan was great in the hot weather. Food was good (breakfast and dinner) and staff were helpful with gluten free options. Welcoming, comfortable hotel and we'll be back for another visit.
