Tweeddale Arms Hotel

Friendly atmosphere and a great breakfast

Room was very clean, and breakfast was plentiful.

Room was quite cold

The staff and food were great, room was lovely and bed was comfy, beautiful place

No phone signal, but had free wifi so not that much of an issue

Extensive menu. Hotel suited as it was near fishing venu.

Room was cold,heating was timed. Spoke to staff and they put extra heater in room.

The friendliness, easy to relax, nice and peaceful

Nothing

helpful friendly staff, good location, budget -friendly, clean.

rooms cold. ,no hot water in morning for washing

The whole experience

Not a dislike but it would have been nice to have had a biscuit with the tea makings.

We like the location. A friendly wee town where all the locals make you very welcome. Also a relaxing place to escape to. Good food, good company a most enjoyable time and will return.

There was nothing we did'nt like.

this is the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in Unfortunately we did not have much time there Great value and the breakfast was of a high standard

Only there for one night No issues on this visit

the meals freshly cooked

rooms were barely warm as it was snowing and very frosty dining room was the same there was a log fire in the public bar but not everyone wants to sit in there .Rooms in need of decorating

The friendliness of the staff who showed an interest in their guests. Nothing was too much and they were only too willing to offer advice where necessary. My room was comfortable and clean. I shall certainly return to this hotel when visiting my family and friends in East Lothian and have already recommended it to them.

The food was very good. The breakfast on the first day was excellent, however on the second day the breakfast was a bit overcooked and greasy.

The decor is a bit tired, and because the heating was on a timer, the room could ber quite cold.

Superb friendly and attentive staff. Food was wonderful and not overpriced. Room was clean, neat and tidy. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room. We got a key to the front door and could come and go as we pleased.

The heating could have been better. Left on for longer periods of time perhaps? Not a lot of hot water, but the shower worked fine.

A friendly hotel with character and excellent food.

comfortable country hotel at affordable prices

no dislikes

it was quiet

you could not open a window in the room there was no heating on in the room and when it did come on it was daylight the paint was coming off the walls near the windows thay did not change the towels and the shower took five minutes to heat up

The staff were very welcoming and very helpful.

The Tweeddale Arms looks very dated,the room in which we stayed in was very basic,the room was furnished without much thought .In the lounge where we had our breakfast there was two holes above the bar. The hotel in general needs alot of money spent on it,to bring it up to date with other hotels.You can see the hotel has not been decorated by a professional and by doing this makes it look alot worse.If the hotel was brought up to date im sure the hotel would be more busy.

Friendly staff and peaceful village setting. Comfortable and clean accommodation. Good food and table service. Overall, good value for money.

As others have stated, the decor could be better but the new owners seem to have plans to improve over a period of time and I would certainly like to return, maybe next year. Whilst the setting in Gifford is good, perhaps the East Lothian Council should be prompted to improve the signing for Gifford, (and The Tweeddale Arms?), (not all guests have satnav) travelling from the south such as via the A68. Also, the old style black and white sign in the village centre is a nice touch but it could do with some refurbishment, which is clearly long overdue, not least in the interests of road safety. (For example, some letters were white on a white background!)

Scottish hospitality at it's best; good food and very friendly staff.

Friendliness of Staff

Proximity of room to Public Bar

Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast.

Decor could do with upgrading but the new owners are aware of this

Staff very friendly. Food excellent.

We thought it was a lovely location looking over the village green. Nice and peaceful and very relaxing. Just what we were looking for. The staff were very friendly and made us very welcome. Nothing was a bother to them, The Hotel was Lovely and the rooms were very comfortable . We had a meal there and it was very good with a good choice on the menu. The breakfast was also very good and also with a good choice, the cooked breakfast was a good plateful, perfect for a hearty appetite. Overall a most enjoyable stay.

Location Room available at short notice

Faded - needs updating

Friendly staff, good breakfast, nice old building

Decor a bit tired, wallpaper falling off in the room. For £10 more we could have stayed in a 5* hotel 5 miles up the road.
