The George and Abbotsford Hotel, an 18th century coaching inn, overlooks the High Street which was originally the Abbey Wall. It has been famed for its hospitality since the time of Sir Walter Scott when he entertained his good friend William Wordsworth while his house, at nearby Abbotsford, was being completed. The Hotel is a listed building showing many of the architectural features of the Georgian period. 
Eye-catching rugby memorabilia is proudly displayed in the bar area as a reminder of the historic Melrose Sevens. 

With a passion for great food and 5* service, the George and Abbotsford Hotel aims to provide the ideal setting for every occasion, whether you are looking for a short break away, a chilled drink or tasty meal. 

The George and Abbotsford is ideally situated as a starting point for St Cuthbert's Way or as a stop off for the Sir Walter Scott Way.
