Beautiful Borders
After the drama of our west coast/Highlands route, Melrose came as a distinct, soft border contrast. Neatly laid out, right within the town, the site offers the easiest access to great shopping and delicious food. Our late booking resulted in a stay on the four pitch tarmac section immediately behind reception - utilitarian, but for which we were grateful to the wardens. Reception was efficient, with very helpful staff who manage a well run site. After the calm and tranquillity of the north, the down-side of a town centre site is activity - and for us the civic bottle bank immediately behind the site provided a rather too-early 'bells on Sunday'! Consolation was the opportunity to watch a Saturday match of Melrose RFC v Boroughmuir just across the road, and to eat utterly wonderful steak from butcher, 'Miller of Melrose' (2 High Street).
