This is a conversion of an old house but what a house. If you like old chandeliers, mirrors above the fireplace, grandiose staircases then this will whet your appetite. The food was great, the staff were brilliant and my room was fabby. I can't wait to go back.

A brilliant two night stay that we had last weekend. Front of house staff, lovely and helpful. Cleaners, lovely and through. Food was spot on punches well above its weight as a hotel. Paul and Tracy would like to thank you all again, our 5th stay now. The haggis we took home always goes down well with the family! Fully recommended!

We are just back from a lovely meal here. My mum treated me for an early birthday meal whilst we are down staying in the area. The service was lovely and the lady serving us was so nice. Food was amazing! We had the COCONUT, GARLIC & HERB BREADED CHICKEN GOUJONS, SALAD, CHIPS, CURRY & MANGO DIP and it was just so fresh and tasty. Cooked to perfection 👌🏻. We will most definitely be back when next in the area.

Wonderful and welcoming cosy hotel with super service. Our plane was delayed until after midnight, but they kept open till we arrived. It is situated in the beautiful Borderlands with the House of Sir Walter Scott and the ruins of the Abbey of Melrose at close distance

I and my family was at your restaurant what a disaster. Steak had sinew through it ,bbq ribs were half cooked on one side , chips were black and raw , chicken croutons 3 small pieces to the plate my fish was nice but it was that and a load of peas and couple potatoes there was 14 of us. We had to go and look for staff who were sitting in the office we wanted menu for pudding she came and just put menu on table never gave them out which we had to do .not very happy with service I paid 400 pound for this disaster of a meal and was embarrassed for my company

We stayed twice in the past and going back again tomorrow- it says it all! Absolutely stunning location, beautiful gardens, peaceful atmosphere, baronial architecture. Great for exploring beautiful Scottish Borders. Easy parking is a bonus. Room 14 is simply gorgeous- very spacious with traditional features, and an amazing picture window. We had a delicious breakfast, the service and food were both fantastic. Special thank you to amazing, friendly, attentive staff-service and cleanliness were second to none. Housekeeping ladies-you are the best- rooms are spotless, and you are the friendliest bunch! We were almost late for breakfast, however lovely Kasia and Shiona made us feel so welcome and we received the best service. Can’t wait for another relaxing weekend in this unique hotel.

We had a lovely afternoon tea for a wedding in the original listed conservatory. Despite a dull start to the day the sun c came out and the conservatory was beautiful. Vines full of grapes gave a true outdoor feel and we are also able to move to outdoor seating. Staff were unobtrusive and a bell at the bar for service, though this us a short walk drin the conservatory. Only downside is female toilets are up a steep staircase unless you tour the building to get to the set in the main bar. As we were ambulant not a problem for us but could be for those less able. The food was absolutely delicious. Plenty of choice, all good quality and was nice and fresh

Fine traditional hotel in wonderful setting. Staff very efficient, friendly and helpful. Super breakfast. Certainly not modern but very traditional feel with excellent large rooms. Cosy bar. Great for exploring the Borders region.
