This charming B&B is located in a quiet road within a 5 minute walk from the village centre and the railway station. There was ample room to park. The host, Rose, was very welcoming to her home and a delight to chat with. Rose was extremely accommodating, letting my son join me for breakfast. Now when it comes to breakfasts, this exceeded my expectations, absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Melrose Cottage to anyone visiting this lovely area. I will be returning.

Rose was very lovely and welcoming. Its like staying at Grandmas house! I had the downstairs ensuite room at the back. It was very quite. It had a fridge with milk, microwave and kettle. I didnt have any breakfast as I left before 7am but Rose offered to leave something out for me if I wanted like cereals, bread etc. She was there when I was leaving and insisted I at least took a banana :-)

Nothing really to dislike although the price was a little steep for just a room but overall I didnt mind as Rose was so lovely!

It was great to be in this real bed and breakfast offered by Rose, and our rooms made us feel right at home. The opportunity to sit in her large back yard was much appreciated. Even more so, we were so impressed by both the full English and continental breakfast she offered us. We used the packed lunch option she offered, and were not disappointed. Rose was an excellent host all round.

Nothing we can think of.

Rose is very friendly and warm welcoming, I have got there early and it was not a problem for early check in (I got there around 2pm). There is a hose outside the house to wash the mud off the bike and the host have kindly allow me to store my bike at their garage during my stay. Love the differently fruit tea collection and butterfly decoration outside the house.

It would be prefect if there is a hair dryer in the room, but that's not a major thing.

Rose the owner, went above and beyond to make us welcome and comfortable, the whole stay was perfect. We were on a cycling trip and arrived in torrential rain, Rose let us put our bikes in her garage and dried our wet clothes ready for the following day, the room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was great too 😁

There was absolutely nothing more Rose could have done for us

The cottage accommodation is like a homestay. A very friendly and caring hostess. The bedroom was adequate but shared bathroom. Everything was spotless. We enjoyed the back garden to have a quiet drink and takeaway dinner. The breakfast was really good: selection of cereals and fruits and then a cooked breakfast to order.

Super choices for breakfast, including fresh fruit and a full English. A peaceful location with no noise other than the birds in the garden. Comfy bed in a well appointed room that looked straight out onto the back garden. Small fridge, microwave and kettle with a very large choice of teas. Great night's sleep and we made sure to take advantage of the direct access to the garden.

We genuinely couldn't criticise a thing.

Excellent breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, yoghurt & options for cooked breakfast. We were cycling the King Alfred Way & Rose had great, secure storage for the bikes. Rose was particularly welcoming and keen to advise on dinner options, things to do etc.

We had three rooms, two of which had a shared bathroom.

Friendly welcome and room had everything you could need. Rose was lovely and took breakfast order. Quiet street in lovely area. Choice of places to eat within v easy walk. I had single room perfect size.

Only drawback I like complete darkness small side window let too much light in but only my preference

Rose was such an amazing host. She was so friendly and helpful, always happy to have a chat about your day. Also the breakfasts were great and she put on a great spread.

There was nothing we didn't like. The wifi was patchy but that's the only thing that wasn't great.
