Rita's place is a gem in Melrose! My room and ensuite were decorated beautifully, the bed is is like a cloud and the shower is great! Rita is on hand to help with a super smooth arrival and assisted me with recommendations for massages and acupuncture during my stay. The location is perfect as you're in the centre of everything and the street is safe and so quiet at night! You're welcome to use the pool and Rita makes you feel at home in the space. I was a solo traveller visiting friends and family for the first time since the pandemic and it was exactly what I was looking for. I really recommend Rita's home for anyone travelling alone looking for a warm and cosy stay and some laughs!
