The Abbey had scaffolding up so we didn’t get the full experience unfortunately. Reasonably priced and well maintained. Clean toilets and a lovely museum adjacent to the Abbey. Nice small shop too. We spent a lovely hour or so here.

Great place to spend a couple of hrs. Unfortunately we could only visit the museum and the grounds due to the ongoing renovation but still worth a visit on a sunny day. We had a little walk about then settled in a tucked-away corner bench for a picnic and also played a round of Snakes and Ladders.

Melrose and the Abbey are two great places to visit. Lovely walks around the town and river which also boasts a few good cafes/coffee shops. Cheap parking.

Entrance found through small gift shop. Concessions available for seniors. Pleasant walk around the grounds. Plenty information available. Ongoing restoration work is being carried out which prevents visitors from accessing the inside of the building. However it's good to think it will enable the continued life of the building. We managed to find the pipe playing pig. Visited the on site Musuem

Title: Disappointing Experience at Melrose Abbey I recently visited Melrose Abbey, and unfortunately, my experience was a letdown. While the ruins of the abbey are indeed beautiful, I was disappointed to find that the entire site was closed due to reconstruction. Despite paying £3.80, I was unable to enter the abbey and could only view it from the outside - something I could have done for free. I was really looking forward to exploring the abbey's interior and learning more about its history, but the closure meant that I was unable to do so. The exterior views were nice, but it wasn't worth the cost. I left feeling very disappointed and frustrated. Rating: 2/5 stars Price: £3.80 (not worth it) Recommended for: Those who are willing to wait until the reconstruction is complete or who are content with only viewing the exterior. Note: I hope the reconstruction works are completed soon, and the abbey is restored to its former glory. Maybe next time, I'll have a better experience.
