Cafes in Melrose

“just been for lunch, it was amazing. gorgeous food and great service. will definitely be back”

“Amazing place surrounded by nature along with fantastic walks. We enjoyed it so much that we've already booked for next year.”

“This is a beautiful house of modest size set in a sublime aspect. It is best viewed after entering from the car park from the first floor balcony of the visitor centre. Happily you can also enjoy a pleasant meal while taking in the view. Taking the path down to the house you pass adjacent to the walled garden. First enter the chapel on the left hand side. A beautifully peaceful place to dwell. Then retrace your steps back outside and enter the house after passing through a stone archway. Friendly volunteers welcome you and offer an audio tour should you wish. Only the ground floor is open to visitors but there is a tremendous amount to take in including the interesting range of artifacts which Scott collected. Once finished in the house then the gardens, which are remarkable well maintained, are worth a gentle stroll. Whrn we visited it was a very hot day so we took advantage of sitting on one of the traditional deckchairs near visitor centre. There is a very reasonable parking charge of £2 per day (August 2025). This is a very worthwhile place to visit.”

“A good refreshing ice cream for the whole family.
Perfume, mango, chocolate, Kinder bueno, and vanilla, with homemade cones.
Superb little ice cream parlor.”

“What a great place for breakfast or lunch staff really great toasties amazing 10 out of ten”

“Another great cafe, not overpriced despite the fact it's in a prime location. So good in fact, my 14 year old grandson asked to go back while we were holidaying nearby.”
