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!

A stunningl country house and garden with fabulous views. Welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast on the terrace. We had tea out on the terrace when we arrived and were lucky next morning to have breakfast out here in the sun too. The bedroom was beautiful too and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and we will go back!

We stayed for 3 night's and had a great time from arriving to leaving. Uta & Jason perfect host's, nothing was any trouble and the room was great. this is one of the nicest and cleanest B &B's we've have ever come across in our travels . The breakfast and choice was unbelievable and everything we tried was excellently cooked and served. The garden and views of the hills magnificent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The canine helpers Yoko & Tiger were friendly and very well behaved would have taken them home if allowed. David & Jean

From the minute we arrived Uta made us feel so welcome with tea and biscuits before showing us to our room. The most amazing views from the bedroom and the bathroom of stunning countryside. Everything in the room felt luxurious and nothing was too much trouble, including our own jug of fresh milk. On our last day a fantastic breakfast was laid out on the terrace so we could once again appreciate the beautiful gardens and the rolling vistas. Even hand foraged mushrooms and fresh fruit and various juices, tea and coffee… and endless supplies of toast to go with a truly tasty breakfast of our choice ( many options) If anyone is thinking of booking this gem of a bed and breakfast I would certainly recommend. Two very happy guests

Fabulous B&B. We were in Melrose for the weekend and this was a great place to stay. Hosts Uta and Jason are so friendly and helpful. Bedrooms are spotless and very comfortable. Breakfast was superb and the choice is amazing !! It is a very peaceful setting with a lovely outlook from the bedrooms

Very comfortable beds with delicious breakfasts and beautiful views to boot. The hosts couldn't have been more attentive and welcoming. All in all a wonderful three night stay. Melrose has a lot to offer and the surrounding areas. We will return. Thank you so much Uta and Jason.

We stayed at Bowden House at the end of walking the St Cuthberts Way. A stunningly warm welcome with tea, a beautiful room with a view to die for over the hills , lavish modern bathroom, loads of hot water for a bath, a lovely selection of books and maps in the reception area. Very conveniently placed for walking, sightseeing, Melrose and St Oswald. And sumptuous breakfasts - generous fresh fruit plate, yoghourts, eggs etc. This is the highest standard of hospitality - cannot speak highly enough of it and of the hosts who are utterly charming (and the scrambled eggs are outstanding - we had had some fairly rubbery offerings in our walk!). A memorable stay.

We stayed at Bowden House for two nights and it was a lovely experience from start to finish. Uta is a great host and welcomed us with a tray of tea and lots of maps, info and recommendations. Our room was very comfortable and had a wonderful view south over the hills and woods. Breakfast is quite an event, with a fruit platter, cereals and juices, followed by choices from porridge to a full Scottish breakfast (the black pudding and haggis were excellent!). Bowden is well-placed for Melrose, Selkirk and the rest of the Borders. Highly recommended!
