Bowden House is a beautiful B&B in a village near Melrose. The house and garden are lovely and Uta's breakfast was superb.

We had a very nice room in a beautiful mansion, with a private guarded parking, a lovely garden and a superb view on the surroundings. Everything is well taken care off, and the host Uta is very friendly and enthusiastic to advise on your trips in The Borders. Breakfast is served at a common table which is nice to meet with other guests, and everything is as fresh as can be, and well prepared. Plenty of dining possibilities around, but it will require a few miles driving.

We had a wonderful Stay at Bowden B&B. Lovely location ideal for our stay as attending Thirlston Castle Classic car show. We chose Bowden House for its safe and secure courtyard for our 1960s car. We received a warm welcome from Uta and Jason and pleased to meet the dogs.( Didn't see enough of them). The house and gardens were beautiful, our room was spacious and a comfy bed and a lovely view of gardens and countryside. The breakfast was to die for and set us up for the day. We would recommend Bowden House and hope to return in the near future.

If you are looking for the best in Scottish hospitality, look no further. Uta and Jason are the ultimate hosts, and make you feel like family. The breakfasts are out of this world. There are so many choices available, and if something you request is not on the normal menu, they will be more than happy to go out and get it for you. They are simply the best.

Absolutely LOVELY experience staying here at the Bowden House. Uta is warm and oh so welcoming - she's very interesting, helpful and thoughtful with her Guests. She and her husband are the definition of 'Consummate Hosts'. The breakfast they served was superb, generous and the setting is peaceful and gorgeous. The location is perfect, so close to the charming village of Melrose and other wonderful Scottish Borders towns. I'd highly recommend staying at the Bowden House while in the area.

Lovely B&B - they have 3 rooms so it's wonderfully intimate and on lovely grounds. The host's are really helpful and the breakfast is scrumptuous - The bed in the Mahogany room was soft but firm - so a good night's sleep was had by all. .........................................................................................................

This was a first class experience: a fine. house, beautifully sited and equipped tastefully without being at all precious. The breakfasts were a treat and the company a joy. I had two nights there; I would be delighted to return. There is much to explore in the region roundabout.

I very rarely give 5 stars… Uta & Jason have really invested a lot of attention in the details. Not all B&B ‘s provide face cloth’s in the shower, conditioner and lotion. I really appreciated the taller toilet -as we age it’s appreciably noticeable! We thoroughly enjoyed our chat with Jason by the nice fire. Uta goes out for breakfast… and the views and gardens are stunning!
