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.
