Donald

Quirky charm. Spacious rooms. Helpful staff. Good Food. Convenient for the Coast and Castle cycle route.

Jim

United Kingdom

B/fast good, location next to Sir Walter Scotts House, well worth a visit. Historic setting.

Derek

United Kingdom

I loved the building - an old Victorian baronial hall - which retains many of its original features. The gardens were well maintained and attractive and gave a sense of luxury and 'past glories' I liked the family-owned feel to it and the sense of belonging amongst the members of staff I met. I liked how quiet it was in the night despite the proximity to a main road. I enjoyed my dinner; the sirloin was excellent. As were my exchanges with staff members in the dining room.

David

Lovely breakfast room with views over the garden and surrounding scenery. Attentive and quick service, with plenty of options, well prepared adding up to a wholly enjoyable breakfast.

Anthony

United Kingdom

Only issue was the bath plug not sealing well but not the biggest issue room 23 top floor great views and a lovely room. evening meal spot on and with very good service. Breakfast very nice, should have requested beans but sure they would have been offered if requested. It was a cycling holiday and staff arranged for the bikes to be stored in the garage.

The room, and facilities. The shower was a bit small for a guy who is 6'4''

Patrick

The place was clean and peaceful and all the staff were attentive and polite

Fred

United Kingdom

Beautiful Victorian villa with a stunning winter garden on the outskirts of Galashiels, perfectly placed for the Coast and Castles cycle path. Super friendly and helpful staff who stowed our bikes and booked us in for dinner. Great bar, good food, nice public spaces, super breakfast. Room was comfortable, bathroom excellent, family room would delight children (two beds in a round turret). Very well placed for Melrose, Abbotsford and the borders more generally.

I didn't much like my functional little room in the top of the house but for what I was paying it was fine. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage space and even a bath (plus a shower).
