Burts Hotel

About Burts Hotel

Burts Hotel occupies an eighteenth century building on Melrose's Market Square, in the heart of the town and a short walk from the abbey and the start of the Eildon Hills path. It has been owned and run by the Henderson family for more than fifty years, giving it a settled, personally managed feel unusual in a hotel of its size.

The twenty en-suite bedrooms are split between doubles, twins and singles, individually furnished rather than uniform, and several look out over the square itself. The restaurant has held AA Rosettes for its cooking every year since 1995, drawing on Borders game, lamb and Tweed salmon, and there is a separate bistro-style bar menu for a more relaxed meal.

Its position right on Market Square makes Burts a natural choice for anyone without a car, with shops, the abbey and restaurants all within a few minutes' walk. The hotel also welcomes dogs, with beds and bowls provided on request, making it a popular stop for walkers tackling St Cuthbert's Way.
