One night stay in this historic house now being used as a hotel located a short walking distance from Hawick centre set in an attractive garden with a wonderful park nearby. Lovely interior with large attractive lounge, entrance hallway and staircase. Large bedroom and en suite bathroom. The Large king-size bed was firm and therefore not that comfortable. Breakfast was a standard traditional option with cereal and juices. Not much interaction with staff except at check in and ordering breakfast. Short and to the point. Free car parking immediately outside hotel front entrance. I would recommend the hotel for a short stay purely for the novelty factor.

Tap and pay doesn't work. No problem with the system apparently. Taxi driver told us it is a signal blackspot. Water from room taps is nonpotable. Single bottle of water provided for two people for hot drinks and cold drinks - make your choice. Two main staff - one smiling and helpful. One clearly views you as an inconvenience. Not much choice locally but think carefully.

We arrived very late in the evening about 9:30pm and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or more helpful. They recommended a local takeaway that delivered and allowed us to eat our food in the bar and have a drink. Our room was huge and very comfortable. We’ll definitely be back.
