Room excellent but room 2 saw next door and their bathroom was across the corridor entrance to our room so we could hear their door being opened during the night. Disturbing!

Had a lovely big Lodge, but there wasn’t a mirror in the bedroom only a small handheld makeup mirror in bathroom and a mirror over the bathroom sink, no where to dry hair or straighten hair. Lodge was a great size but lacked finishing touches, a chair would have been nice to sit on and a dressing table. Long driveway was pitch black no lights at all to help you find your way to the hotel in the evenings we had to find our way by torch app on phone. Not safe. The young ladies waiting on in breakfast room were very pleasant and friendly.

A well-restored historical small hotel.. Rooms tastefully decorated, however there are a few small issues that could be improved to make a more comfortable stay to elevate the experience. Room needed better situated electrical sockets anywhere near mirror for hairdryer use. Bath towels were too small. Bedside lamp shades not attached to base and fell off. A rather luke-warm welcome on arrival was disappointing.

An evening in Hawick

When we arrived at the Hotel, the half dozen or so parking places were used, so we had to park around the back of the hotel. I went in to pay and l was met by a brisk "Can l help you?" The middle aged Gent dealt with my paperwork, whilst l went out to get my hand bag. I went back in to pay and asked if we could book dinner at the Restaurant, (which was mentioned in the Hotels.com blurb) which was replied to with a disappointing reply that we couldn't book dinner as it wasn't available and that we should head on into the town centre to find food. I was a bit annoyed at this, as we had paid the price for this Hotel, believing, that we should have been able to relax and have dinner at a Hotel of this calibre, especially when the Restaurant was listed in the Hotel's amenities. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was adequate, although l was unable to use the shower as it involved climbing into the bath first! The breakfast the following day, had several choices available with the usual jars of jam, honey, marmalade etc. and a selection of cooked items from a menu. Toast, tea/coffee were also served to the table.
