Unfortunately we could not check in as we could not stay…When we arrived at the Waverley Castle hotel were told no dogs were allowed. It was pointed out to us that it was in the T&As. As we had stayed there before and enjoyed our stay with the dog we did not feel the need to read the T&As. We did not know that the hotel had changed ownership.. And as suggested to us about leaving dog in car was not an option for us as dog thefts are common and could not risk that. So we decided to look for other accommodation which we found couple of miles away who were very welcoming of us and our dog..

Shambles
The evening meal and breakfast were both delicious. The hotel experience itself was shabby and shambolic. Got an mail when I was on the way telling me that they had been unable to charge my card and therefore to contact them as my booking was in jeopardy. Arrived and asked WHY they had been trying to charge my card? It was a pay-at-property booking with hotel.com. Their muddled up answer was nonsense. They then took payment by asking for card details as they had no card machine and said they didn’t give receipts. I insisted and got one e mailed the next day. They then showed us to a room with a badly stained carpet - and paper thin walls which resulted in a very poor night sleep. We were told breakfast was 730 to 930 and when we went to Reception at 9 am we were told it was finished. When I queried it they checked and apologised for their mistake…. We had breakfast and then checked with Reception that we had to vacate the room by 11 am as it said on our booking. “No … you have to be out by 10” we were told. We left and a couple of hours later I received a phone call from them. Phoned back, and they had no idea who or why I had been called…. My overall impression is of a complete shambles. Great hotel if you don’t mind them randomly charging your card, randomly phoning you up for no reason, and randomly change their published times for things.

Enjoyed our stay. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. The room was spotless. The hotel overall however is much in need of an upgrade. The carpets, paintwork etc, very tired. Well situated for walking from the hotel along the river Tweed and further afield.

Enjoyable stay
We couldn’t get WiFi in Room 1 so I asked if we could change rooms which was arranged. The rooms were clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. We were disturbed by loud music at about 8 pm one evening which we thought at first might be a Christmas party but when my husband went to investigate he couldn’t see anything, the barman told him that it was probably coming from the kitchen, it stopped after about an hour. Breakfast was good except for the poached eggs. The staff were friendly. I would definitely return a to this hotel

Good value for money hotel
Just returned from a 3 night stay. Hotel is a little dated but clean we had room 4 on the ground floor which was nice and spacious although no central heating instead we had 2 small electric oil filled radiators which only managed to heat room. Dinning room for breakfast and evening meal had No heating and was freezing. Think every guest commented on it being so cold. Remember you get what you pay for and this hotel is definitely good value for money. I would return but only in the summer months

Thank you for letting us know. We hope to be able to welcome you back in the futureKind regads

Not as good as hoped.
This hotel needs some updating as everything seemed a little "tired" - especially the room. Whilst the food quality was fine, the offering was not terribly exciting and presentation could have been better. Range of food at breakfast was OK but not kept replenished quickly enough and there were only tinned tomatoes (Ugh!). It was only on the third morning that we realised that fried eggs were available on request., With a couple of exceptions, the staff were not very friendly or communicative.
