What Guests Say About Their Stay

The property was easy to find. We were met at the door and were made to feel very welcome. Our hosts discussed the accommodation itself followed by a welcoming brew and a chat regarding the local area, places to eat and our breakfast order for the morning. We were recommended a lovely Italian restaurant in nearby St Boswells which was really nice.
The views from our room were beautiful and really peaceful. The room and en-suite were very clean and the perfect size to be fair. Breakfast was really nice with a fruit platter with yogurt, a choice of cereals with a hot breakfast after that. It was all cooked really well.
Only 1 minor issue was the creaky bed frame which woke me ( I’m a light sleeper) every time I turned around. The Mrs seemed fine though.
Bed aside I would highly recommend to any visitor and we are likely to return in the near future.

Not much could be improved upon at this beautiful, immaculate, well-organized B&B. Uta was delightful. The room & toilet were lovely, spacious, and wonderfully decorated. The view from our room (and even the toilet!) was one of the grand memories of our trip. Parking was in an enclosed area and spacious. Breakfast was delicious. You won't go wrong here!

I arrived early because I hadn't read the small print that one couldn't check in until 5pm. I didn't feel welcome so I went away and sat in my car until it was 5pm. My room was freezing. The bathroom was too cold to contemplate having anything but a very short use of the loo. The furniture was creaky old as opposed to vintage chic. I was told not to close the curtains because it would make the room cold. I dont think it could have been any colder. The bed was comfortable. And the breakfast was very good. But all in all it was certainly not worth the £163 for one person for one night.

Our host Uta was absolutely amazing! She made reservations for dinner each night. Her breakfast was made to order. The views were stunning and the terrace is a great place to relax and have a cup of tea. The room was beautiful and made you feel like Royalty.

My host, Uta, was extremely warm and welcoming upon my arrival. My son was this me to check in, although not staying at the b&b. She offered coffee and biscuits on their back patio for us, which was lovely. Such a beautiful setting. My room was perfect - nothing was overlooked. Breakfast was amazing too!

From the moment we arrived to be greeted by the most friendly welcome we enjoyed the most wonderful stay at Bowden House in every way. In fact we would consider going to Melrose again just to stay at Bowden House. The most beautiful view from our bedroom in a charming property.

Bowden House B&B is a hidden gem, in a beautiful situation with marvellous views. Uta was very welcoming and helpful, a lovely, warm hostess who went out of her way to make our stay relaxed and comfortable. The room and bathroom (brand new) were immaculate and the 19th century house absolutely charming. The weather was warm so we were fortunate to have a delicious breakfast on the terrace. The best place we have stayed and we are keen to return!

Stylish sophistication in an understated way, both the location and the hosts made this an extremely pleasurable stay. I'm reticent to sing "Bowden's" praises too loudly because - wholly selfishly - I'm rather keen to keep this gem quiet for future visits!
