What's this?
We have two great selections of hotels tailored to make your short break just the way you like it.
Bay Hotels - these hotels represent all that is best about Shearings - the warmth, the hospitality, the comfort, the great entertainment and all round great value.
Coast & Country - each hotel has a comfortable bar and lounge offering the perfect place to relax and unwind and our restaurants pride themselves on offering good food and a choice of wines.
At the heart of the Scottish Borders, nestling between the River Tweed and the green Eildon Hills, is the town of Melrose. It lies in the heart of Sir Walter Scot country and offers the visitor a wealth of interest with its beautiful abbey, teddy bear museum and walled garden of Priorwood. Essentially a place for holidays with the accent on outdoor country pursuits, the attractive town of Melrose is at the heart of an area of gentle hills, undulating valleys and Border Abbeys. The stately looking Waverley Castle Hotel is splendidly set in 5 acres of rolling parkland behind which flows the River Tweed. While away time in the comfortable lounges and bar, enjoy various games, stroll around the grounds and dance the nights away in the entertainment room.

To celebrate my birthday, 8 of us girls went on a 'girlie' weekend to the Waverley Castle & had a ball. The rooms were lovely & warm, & the food was excellent. Our waiter, Jose' couldn’t have been more obliging, nothing was a trouble to him. Also Tania deserves a mention as she was lovely, & catered to all our needs. The entertainment was great, & we laughed so much at James, our sides were sore!! We certainly will return, & may bring our husbands next time!

We picked this hotel because the advert implied it was in Melrose. As we were reliant on public transport it was very disappointing to find the town was 1 1/2 miles away. The hotel had put together a local bus timetable which was not very suitable. A supply of First Bus timetables would have been more helpful. Now that we have worked out how to get about we would come again as the hotel was very nice. The dining staff were excellent and the food also very enjoyable.

My husband, family and friends stayed for 3 nights. The food was good although they kept running out. The rooms needed updating but were clean. Biggest disappointment was the entertainment. On the first night we had a singer but on the Saturday night it was only the compare. Most of our company went into town. We have stayed at Shearings hotels before so expected more especially as we were told on booking there would be entertainment. Drink a bit expensive and bar doesn't open until 5.30pm 5/10

Just spent 4 nights at the Waverley Castle. Although our bedroom and bathroom were on the small side, it didn't stop us having a great break. The hotel is set in a picturesque location, in its own grounds. The bus stops to local towns were either across the road or just around the corner, or take a leisurely walk by the River Tweed into Melrose. Meals - good always plenty of choice, something for everyone. Entertainment - the guest artists were excellent & James the resident artist was a scream.

Just had a fab weekend with my family. Mother, brothers and sister with partners. Special mention to Trainee Manager Jackie and Receptionist Christine. They went out of their way to help when my husbands' wheelchair would not fit through bathroom door. Moved things around even though hotel was full so we could get a suitable room. Also changed the table for dinner as it was not high enough for wheelchair. James was excellent had us in stitches and Elvis tribute (Adam Carter) was fab. Would return.
