On the morning we were due to arrive at the site my wife was admitted to the Borders General Hospital with a serious condition. I arrived at the site later in the day and the lady on reception could not have been more helpful - and continued to be throughout my stay. The site itself is situated in the town of Melrose with a fine selection of shops, hotels and restaurants and within easy walking distance of the Abbey, NTS Gardens and river walk. There is a public park  adjacent and the Melrose Rugby Ground is across the road.  It is not surprising that it is a very busy site and booking is advisable. The ground and the facilities are well cared for and it is a very pleasant site.
