George & Abbotsford Hotel - Shopping around Newtown St Boswells

Great local crafts by Border craftspeople. Run by a craft Co operative.

Henderson's is a truly beautiful shop in the heart of Melrose. You can tell there is creative flair involved in selecting their stock, which is very cool and stylish. I love to follow their Instagram page which keeps you up-to-date with gifts to treat yourself, or a loved one, throughout the seasons.

Great shop to browse as they always have so many lovely things - unusual and funky stoneware for the garden or something special for the home - the perfect place for styling inspiration!

Love this book shop. We live in ayrshire and have nothing like this near us. Tea and a yummy cake first and then a good look round the books with the kids for a new book. Great kids selection. They also have an amazing cook shop at the rear that just has so many beatiful things... the person who finds the stock must have a great eye.

Fascinating selection of books. Fiction and Many non fiction including biography, political, travel writing. Huge children's selection. Thoroughly up to date. Big new delivery of books arrived as we were leaving. Cafe has SLOW table-only service; well over 5 minutes wait and it wasn't busy. The couple after us even had to go up to the counter to ask to be served!

Could not have been more friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend using them.

It's great, an Aladdin's cave

Lovely shop, great staff and materials

Enjoyed browsing through the Sale rails - of which there were many! And was very pleased with our purchases. Staff very friendly and chatty, but not intrusive! Helpful when asked, and happy to give us time.
