Although once an area of violence, the area is now both historically and culturally significant and has become a popular spot for visitors looking for a peaceful and tranquil spot to indulge in sporting and country pursuits whilst surrounding themselves in years of Scottish history. Set in Melrose's picturesque 18th century Market Square, in the shadows of the Eildon Hills and near the river Tweed sits Burts Hotel and The Townhouse Hotel.
Launched on the 1st November, The Townhouse Hotel, and its sister establishment Burts are offering guests a unique winter escape for just £65.00* or £64.00** in the award winning establishments.

For sporting enthusiasts the Borders offers an array of leisure facilities. With no less than 19 golf courses, including the championship Roxburghe Golf Course designed by celebrated architect Dave Thomas, the Borders is also the birthplace of the rugby ‘sevens’.

Melrose, Kelso and Dryburgh abbeys are also located close by, alongside the historic Abbotsford House, making these hotels the perfect base offering luxurious accommodation in an area steeped in Scottish History.
