Lived staying here. The staff are so friendly and hard working, especially Charlotte. She is so helpful and nothing is too much for her. Although the hotel is a bit dated, it goes with the ambiance of the building. I found our room and bathroom clean and cozy. The building has so many areas to sit and relax. We liked it that much we have booked another trip in September

The property is unique and comfortable as an old building in the Borders. The staff are excellent and very responsive to your needs. The building is obviously old and the rooms dated, however that should be expected in a building of this age.

The estate at the hotel is beautiful near.the river. The room we were given to begin with was.not suitable very stuffy and small. We couldnt open the windows.We requested another room and this was dealt with very quickly by the receptionist. and we ended up with a lovely airy,, spacious room with views of the river (and the windows opened). We enjoyed our stay.

The beautiful surroundings

Overall the stay was good. Room was a bit cold early evening, but our overnight sleep was too hot as the quilt tended to cocoon our body. The surrounding areas were excellent for walks and not to mention the food as it was beautiful

Lovely old style building for exploring the area

Lovely grand old building. Rooms were decent. Shower is rubbish could do with investing in more modern showers. Breakfast was good and the bar was well stocked. Good place to stay to visit the borders

Lovely property with great views and walks around garden and down to river. Very beautiful area. Room lovely, comfortable and clean and very well furnished. Staff all very helpful and kind. Only issue was evening meal where we found portions far too large so lots of food was wasted. Also felt menu was too large for chefs to cope with as hotel was very busy. Our meals were pasta which was tasty but overcooked and risotto, also very tasty but very overcooked. Suggestion would be to reduce the large menu and allow chefs time to focus because they clearly are good cooks. Breakfast was lovely.

A beautiful, comfortable clean space with excellent, helpful friendly staff. The hotel is set in beautiful countryside where the river Tweed runs at the bottom of the garden and the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey next door. There are walks to suit all straight from the front door.
