Our host Uta was absolutely amazing! She made reservations for dinner each night. Her breakfast was made to order. The views were stunning and the terrace is a great place to relax and have a cup of tea. The room was beautiful and made you feel like Royalty.

My host, Uta, was extremely warm and welcoming upon my arrival. My son was this me to check in, although not staying at the b&b. She offered coffee and biscuits on their back patio for us, which was lovely. Such a beautiful setting. My room was perfect - nothing was overlooked. Breakfast was amazing too!

From the moment we arrived to be greeted by the most friendly welcome we enjoyed the most wonderful stay at Bowden House in every way. In fact we would consider going to Melrose again just to stay at Bowden House. The most beautiful view from our bedroom in a charming property.

Bowden House B&B is a hidden gem, in a beautiful situation with marvellous views. Uta was very welcoming and helpful, a lovely, warm hostess who went out of her way to make our stay relaxed and comfortable. The room and bathroom (brand new) were immaculate and the 19th century house absolutely charming. The weather was warm so we were fortunate to have a delicious breakfast on the terrace. The best place we have stayed and we are keen to return!

The 7's gets 10 out of 10!
Stylish sophistication in an understated way, both the location and the hosts made this an extremely pleasurable stay. I'm reticent to sing "Bowden's" praises too loudly because - wholly selfishly - I'm rather keen to keep this gem quiet for future visits!

Scottish Borders Gem
We stayed four nights in July 2018. There is off road parking, we had an ensuite room, and Jason was a gracious host. We used our vehicle to explore the Borders. While walks are close by, guests will need a vehicle if not doing one of the walks. The view from the patio is simply fantastic. There are very good pubs a short drive away.
