Lovely hotel, pleasant staff, superb position, convenient for places of interest. In particular would like to applaud JAMES MULLANEY for the wonderful entertainment he provided. more

This was a Shearings Self Drive stay. Booking in was fast and efficient and our room was nicely decorated and very warm, the heater can be turned down to suit. The public areas of the hotel were very warm also, so if you want to sit and read then you could. Tea/coffee making facilities available in room although no biscuits,... more

Stayed here with Shearings after they cancelled our previous holiday at short notice. Hotel is in need of total refubishment. Countless floor boards and doors creek. Poor quality food. The only plus point is the staff provide a decent service. Don't expect any Customer Service from Shearings either more

I have just returned from a 5day shearings coach holiday at this hotel and i think it is excellent for the price I paid.The staff were smart and some of the politest I have ever met, service was great and the choice at meal times brilliant for the price.Frankly if you dont pay 5 star prices you cant expect five... more

I've stayed at Shearings hotels before and found them to be very good, however on this occasion it wasn't. I always ask for a high up room and did this time.

The hotel is about a mile from the small town of Melrose, and there isn't a great deal to do there. The whole place could do with updating. Our room was basic, clean but in need of decorating, the furniture is past its best and the carpet didn't look very clean, but the bathroom seemed to have been recently updated,... more

My husband and I have just had a 5 day beak at this hotel and found the whole experience very disappointing. Our major complaint was the standard of the food. Has the chef never heard of fresh vegetables? I can appreciate the choice may be limited in winter but in the summer there must be so much to choose from... more

Can I say, first of all, that despite and negatives that might be included in this review, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. On arrival, Monday afternoon we were allowed to our room at 3pm and made our way through the many corridors to our room (22). The room is at the back of the hotel and whilst the surrounding trees... more
