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

Great location but!!

We have stayed here several times and enjoyed the location. We feel that the rooms are ready for updating - the staff on duty were all young men who looked as if they had worked all weekend without a break ! It wasn’t as welcoming as it had been in the past. We were also disappointed with our evening meal.

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

Home from home

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.

We loved staying in this beautiful old hotel. The staff were so kind and treated us like we were the only ones there. The food was delicious and the head chef was so thoughtful that she put a vegetarian dish on the menu for me. We only planned to stay one or two nights but couldn’t bring ourselves to leave and ended up staying 4 nights.

Relaxing and good value break.

Wasn't sure what to expect as we dont usually stay in hotels. A very grand building if a little faded. Room was very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower could do with an upgrade and the collapsible plastic kettle was a bit disconcerting. Staff were excellent. Very friendly and accommodating. Evening meal was very good as was breakfast. Plenty of choice with breakfast served in a room overlooking the grounds. Overall good value if you want somewgere quiet and relaxing.
