Braidwood Guest House

About Braidwood Guest House

Braidwood Guest House occupies an elegant Victorian building dating from 1839 on Buccleuch Street, standing within what was once part of Melrose Abbey's own grounds. It is one of the higher-rated guest houses in the town, run on a personal scale rather than as a large hotel operation.

Rooms are traditionally styled with period detail in keeping with the building's Victorian origins, and breakfast is served in a dining room that reflects the same character. The guest house's setting close to the abbey and just a few minutes from Market Square makes it easy to explore Melrose on foot.

Braidwood suits visitors looking for guest house hospitality rather than a hotel, with the abbey ruins, Eildon Hills walk and town restaurants all within easy walking distance. Its Victorian character and quieter side-street position give it a more residential feel than the hotels directly on Market Square.
