The Balcary is a beautiful house in Hawick, Scotland, with such a wonderful history. It dates back to the 1880s. It was also a home for children during WWII. It has such beautiful details throughout. The room we stayed in was huge and had a beautiful large bathroom. The staff were wonderful. They made sure if I needed anything while I was sick to let them know. I would suggest a stay, but beware of hearing things that may not be there, such as the Ghosts/Spirits that also reside here. I would love to stay here again the next time I make a trip to Hawick.

A wonderful town with so much history and things and places to see. Hawick is very hilly but okay to get around if you take your time as I did.
We ate in the Locanda Romana restaurant, it was wonderful. The host/owner was very friendly and food very tasty.

This apartment is all luxury.
This apartment is all luxury. It was such a pleasure to stay in. Very comfortable beds, ours even with a pop up TV in it. All the appliances were new and amazing. There was a basket of treats for us to use as well. I wished we’d booked to stay for longer than just one night.

It is a rather gritty town.
It is a rather gritty town. Has been quite industrial but has some lovely buildings and the river area is being upgraded with defence walls against flooding.There are a few nice restaurants in the town especially an Italian by the river Santa Marina. There is a fantastic park to explore which has a cafe and childrens play area and great for dogs with a stream to play in. The town has Cashmere outlet shops and a whisky distillery. It is noted for rugby. It is close to beautiful countryside and places such as Melrose, Selkirk and Peebles are not far away, plus the coast about an hour away where thete are stunning beaches

Great location for visiting the Borders Area, and whichever route you took out of the town you were quickly into countryside. Only slight drawback many restaurants only open Thursday - Sunday. Had to travel out of Hawick on Monday to get an evening meal and on Tuesday and Wednesday fairly limited choice, unfortunately sign of the times perhaps.
Other that town had good facilities and a nice park with a good coffee house and eatery in the daytime.

Hawick is a border town built on ex council housing, the surrounding areas and history but if you want to go anywhere then travel north. Drugs truency and mason art are Hawick. Do not go in the winter other to see family which I did. Run down and bleak in the winter but if you want riding and recreation in the summer, it’s for you. Be warned you can get cut off in the winter.

Always love spending time in Hawick.
Always love spending time in Hawick. Such a friendly town with some interesting shops and a great selection of knitwear. The park is second to none! Beautifully kept and so many different areas of interest. Great for exercising or a leisurely stroll. Super cafe for a pit stop along the way.
Annette went out of her way to welcome us, lighting up the log-fired hot tub in advance which stayed warm without a fire from 5pm until midnight (in October) and giving us guidance on Hawick (a well-equipped sizable town) only 5 minutes drive away. The Borders' scenery is excellent and our accommodation, as well as including everything for a stay for a family of 4 also had a patio and barbecue. There is an amazing amount of furniture crammed into the building but everything, including the beds was very comfortable and clean.
This is a lovely country house hotel, run by a family, and their interest in, and attention to detail for their guests really shows. Our room had double aspect and was very comfortable. The dining room seemed to be popular with residents and non-residents alike, and we were surprised by the extent of the menu. We enjoyed a very nice meal there, had a couple of drinks in the lovely bar area, and a good breakfast the next morning. An ideal location for the Borders or, as in our case, travelling further north in Scotland.
We absolutely loved our stay to the extent we would live here. It's super clean, tidy, amazing facilities and amenities, barely had to unpack my suitcase as everything was provided.
Kitchen facilities were amazing and the basket of goodies on arrival such as bread, milk and snacks just made it. Coffee pods, condiments you name it. It was provided.
Bathroom had shampoos towels conditioners toothpaste mouthwash.
Such amazing service and so close to Hawick town centre with a Aldi just behind.
Can't recommend enough xz
Beautifully decorated apartment with access to full facilities. Washing machine and dishwasher were a life saver! Bed was extremely comfortable and cosy. The apartment is located 30 seconds away from the town centre and parking is available. Ella and Leo were fantastic hosts, really friendly and happy to check in with a message day to day to make sure the stay was going well. We will definitely be staying here again on our trips to the Borders.
The very comfortable farmhouse is in extensive grounds in a very quiet valley a few miles from Hawick. The owners were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. The bed was extremely comfortable, along with the en-suite with lovely big fluffy towels!
The freshly cooked breakfast was hot and very delicious.
I can thoroughly recommend this farmhouse as a base to recharge the batteries and explore the Scottish Borders.
This hotel was beautiful, clean, and accommodating. Carol went above and beyond make us feel welcome. The rooms were spacious and the common areas help to make us feel at home. The owners did a wonderful job renovating this castle. This is my 5th trip to Scotland and I have stayed in many hotels, branxholme castle is definitely my favorite. Breakfast was amazing and definitely the best I’ve ever had.
I had injured my shoulder prior to our visit to the Borders and was unable to carry my backpack when walking. However, in correspondence with the owner he offered to collect our bags from Jedburgh and take them to Hawick and then from Hawick to our next stop at Selkirk. This was offered spontaneously and with no request for payment. Exemplary service.
This property was indeed very spacious and stylish! The owner, Matt was easy to communicate with and provided great beds, bedding, and “extras” such as coffee, tea, milk, and a Welcoming Basket. My husband is originally from Hawick so being centrally located behind the High St. was perfect for accessing restaurants, etc. Highly recommend! Thank you!
This was a lovely old hotel that has really big and comfortable rooms. Clean and fresh with huge TV and all mod cons! The hotel has a bar and is locate right in the centre of Hawick on a quiet street. Great location and will definitely stay again, when I'm in the area. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.
The staff were amazing!!! So friendly and sweet. The location was amazing right in town you can walk to anything. The facility was super clean and had character but rooms were up to date. Can't wait to go back and visit. I would totally recommend to family and friends. Keep up the great job Elms hotel.
Communication, friendly owners. Great garden, dog loved it. Very clean, COVID-19 cleaning top notch. Comfy beds and bed linen. Walks on the doorstep. Hawick a short drive away and enough shops to keep my older teen happy. Great park which we took advantage of with picnic when weather allowed.
This guest house was lovely. The room is large and has two very comfortable chairs. This is the best bed we have slept in over the course of this 3 week vacation. It is quiet, and I slept like a contented baby! The town of Hawick is very charming, also.
Excellent location in countryside with beautiful views. Combined with convenience of less than 10 minutes drive from Hawick for shopping and other services. Thoughtful touches of milk already in fridge and complimentary packet of "Borders Biscuits" !
Huge house, big rooms, comfortable bed and good bathroom/shower facilities.
Breakfast was very good.
Short walk to Hawick town centre. Great Italian restaurant there.
