The site is right in the middle of Melrose, so an easy walk to the Abbey (under renovation at the moment) and a couple of associated gardens which open in April. A short stroll has you on the riverbank, and there is a supermarket and a few pubs and restaurants right outside.The rugby club is just across the road. Wardens were friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were up to the usual club standards, although only 4 W.C. for quite a few vans. I would book an awning pitch if I went again as there are only a few without and they are located in a big tarmac area behind the admin block.
