Great place as a base for exploring the Borders. Overall stay was good. Room was exceptionally clean(had a couple of minor niggles but these were dealt with happily and swiftly). Stayed in a double which was quite small (with only one bedside table). Would 'upgrade' to a larger room if staying again. The best thing about this hotel is the people and the outstanding service they provide-nothing too much trouble and so friendly. Ooh- and good food including a fab breakfast.
Lovely, clean property situated in the Scottish Borders. Spacious room, with excellent breakfast included. Friendly staff.
Good choice on dinner menu & specials board; very tasty and reasonably priced.
Good position made travel to local towns for sightseeing easy.
Amazing breakfast menu......all included in the price. Great food in the bar/ restaurant. We stopped here at short notice due to bad weather. Very welcoming and friendly staff.
Food, bar and service was amazing. Very good quality and price! Shower was a little poor and cold water was as warm as the hot tap. Minor things that can be improved in the future.
Great family room with bunk beds in a separate little area. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Great dinner menu, recommend the steak pie 👍. Room was clean and adequate. Bed mattress needs replacing but I still slept well. No shower in room only tub. Squeaky door and fluorosis but an old building so to be expected. Not all channels came in on TV. Good advice on running and walking trails. Excellent breakfast.
