Great place with exceptional service.
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.

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.
