8/10 Very good

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
Mr Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

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 had a lovely one night stay, the place and grounds right by the abbey are beautiful. I was especially impressed and grateful to their wonderful staff who found my lost wedding ring and got it forwarded on to me 😍

Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Lovely hotel

The hotel has beautiful, well maintained gardens and grounds that are alive with birds. The Tweed gracefully glides past. The hotel has recently had some investment and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

A truly beautiful hotel in a wonderful country setting. We only spent one night there as part of a longer trip but we could have very easily spent a few days there exploring the surrounding countryside. If any traveller is looking for a great place to relax and forget the rest of the world for a while, we would recommend this spot.
