The food, both the breakfast that was included, as well as the dinner we opted to have, were excellent. The interior was spectacular with lovely sitting lounges and attentive staff. We enjoyed the forward and friendly approach of the owner who met us at breakfast. We were offered a complimentary upgrade on our room and various nice touches for our anniversary. We would certainly stay again.

As is very unusual for a grade B listed building, Cringletie House is fully wheelchair accessible and that means that guests in wheelchairs or guests with impaired mobility can still enjoy a meal in our stunning dining room.
With the River Tweed and the Tweed Valley Forests on our doorstep, as well as many historic houses, there is no time for boredom. Fishing, walking, mountain biking, sight seeing, it is all possible from Cringletie House. Furthermore, the capital city of Edinburgh is only some 30 minutes away giving you the chance to combine "Town & Country".
