Hotels near Newbattle Abbey

"Friendly staff"

"Tatty. Too tatty for this price even in Edinburgh. The dreaded parking eye have been used. "

"They are working on the elevators and it's a bit slow moving around the facility, but the staff were terrific about trying to help. "

"We were looking for a castle stay in Britain as kind of a "bucket list" item. The Melville isn't exactly a "castle," more of a retired/repurposed palace, but the overall experience was what we were looking for - suits of armor, antique paintings and so on. The restaurant is awesome! Great dishes and service! Staff was very helpful. Rooms mixed ancient decor with modern amenties like ample power outlets, modern bathroom, etc. Grounds have many paths for nature walks. Was a nice experience!"

"Room was basic but adequate"

"Excellent stay and service, food was excellent with a good choice offered on the menu. The bar was also really good with several choices of beverages available, all were offered at reasonable cost."

"breakfast was poor.. cold toast no much other. loads of parking staff was good he only could use the resources he had at his disposal. clean itself was clean "

"Sun Inn was fine, but there was road resurfacing that took place overnight. That noise was so intolerable, I had to check out after two two nights"

"This was a leisure visit. We were greeted by you are early (30 mins) which I had acknowledged before they mentioned it and said they would check. Again they said we were early but the room was ready and told Room 3 upstairs! We only have 7 rooms we were told. The room was tidy but dusty and the window although double glazed had a gale blowing through as it didn’t fully seal when closed. The shower head had more water coming out of the top of the shower head than where it was supposed to come from and wasn’t particularly warm either. You could hear every noise from people walking up the staircase to closing their doors. The staff were ok seemed to be put out when we went to the restaurant which was cold as was the rest of the building. They didn’t come across that friendly or welcoming. The building itself has the promise to be a really nice place but more attention needs to be paid to the rooms and temperature control. It did seem to have contractors staying there."
