We had a nice stay while doing the Borders Abbeys Way, beds were comfortable, staff were very friendly. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of options and we also had dinner in the restaurant. The bar was a meeting place for locals which gave it a nice community atmosphere.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Fabulous location with free parking. However room wasn't great for the money they charged. Paying £100 for a very run down basic room was too much. We travel a lot so in comparison to other rooms for the same money I would rate it low. Certainly wouldn't stay again. Didnt try the food so cannot comment on that.

Parking was easy, the room was clean and the bed comfortable but the towel rail in the bathroom was not working. Breakfast was better than dinner although I have no complaints about dinner.

We had no complaint about staff sevice or menu and delivery of either was with good humour and a genuine Interest and kindness. We were disappointed in the room which was small and had only one chair, which meant the bed was the only alternative to watch the tv or read. Bedside light was totally Inadaquite to read with. It was however clean and the bed was comfortable.
