“Melrose House struck me as a genuinely welcoming place, evident in their accommodating late check-ins and the sheer kindness of the family running it. The beautiful garden and the comfortable beds were certainly standouts, but it was the thoughtfulness, like arranging a lower room for my luggage, that truly made the difference. It's a place that feels warm and well-looked after, with a breakfast selection that caters to everyone.”
