Stayed in April 2024

Just a couple of niggly things. The food on the night was ok....just fine. Ok if you wanted fried food...cant go wrong with that! The breakfast was ok too, we had to ask for toast though, abit stingy there. Plus...10am check out on a Sunday is not great....11am at least would make it more of a break away!

Good location, warm comfortable and staff were very pleasant.

Stayed in March 2024

There are different stds of room and some of my colleagues didnt sleep too well in the twin rooms. The showers seemed to be inconsistent too, with a couple of comments about them being a bit cold. The location is fine if you're just looking for a quiet place with good food, but there isnt a lot going on in the immediate surroundings....but that's the Scottish Borders ! so cant complain about that

All in all, a good choice of hotel. food was excellent (both breakfast and evening meal) with a good choice. staff were friendly and welcoming, and my room in general was OK.

How soft the matress was

Friendly staff. Great breakfast

Stayed in January 2024

Hot water had some issues, but it was solved during our stay, so everything went well after. Nothing more to add here. :)

Great location close to shore. We did liked the massive fireplace in hotel restaurant and overall it felt "like home". Breakfast was amazing with plenty to choose from. We loved the morning vibe of the place. Staff was friendly and kind. Dinner at the place was ok, but not great.

Stayed in December 2023

No staff on site overnight. Is this allowed? The place needs upgrading as it is very dated and tatty in many areas. Beer choices rather unexciting but wine list was ok.

Breakfast very good, though if you didn’t want a cooked breakfast then there didn’t seem to be much choice. Evening meal was decent. Staff were all pleasant and helpful and service was good but the place was very quiet. Dog friendly. EV ChargePoint. Room was a decent size and bed comfortable. Good location only 30 mins south of Edinburgh.

This time around I was a little disappointed with the service in general. Dinner and breakfast food were ok but for some reason it didn’t feel very friendly nor as pleasant as my first visit alas.

It’s a lovely place and is conveniently located for our road trips (and even has an EV charging station)

Slightly dated decor, but good atmosphere.

Delicious breakfast. Lovely, cosy, comfortable room. Wee bottle of sherry in room was a lovely, welcoming touch.

Very close to the road

Very close to Edinburgh. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Stayed in August 2023

The room was dusty and full of cobwebs. The windowsill was very dusty and there was black mould in the bathroom. The noise from the road was almost unbearable and we did not sleep well. The fringe festival was on so I guess that’s why the room was £115 bed and breakfast but the room was not clean enough to be worth it. I mentioned it to the lads on the reception but they’re were very young lads and did not really know how to deal with my complaint or know what to say. They eventually say they would pass it on but on return after the tattoo the room had not been cleaned. We had breakfast in a room where it was so dark we could not see. When we asked to move we were told the tables in the lighter area had been booked. My mum is 86 and does not like to make a fuss. This was a long trip for her and the hotel was disappointing.

The staff were really friendly and the breakfast was nice.

Nothing

Warm, comfortable and welcoming , excellent breakfast.

Stayed in October 2023

Some of the seating in the lounge was tired and in need of recovering. The shower in our room requires servicing as it took ages to get warm/hot.

A well established hotel on the A68 to Edinburgh. Very friendly staff, a comfortable lounge area and bar. Very good traditional food from the restaurant. Large comfortable bed, we had a good night's sleep. A very enjoyable breakfast. We were able to take our dog.

Sash windows need attention to stay open.

Flexibility with arrival and enabling evening meal later than expected. Good breakfast. Spacious/comfortable room and bathroom.

Stayed in September 2023

The shower pressure in room 6 was a bit feeble and the bed really needed a table or shelf on both sides.

Light breakfast was more substantial than expected and meant that some was wasted.We didn’t ask for the food to be grilled as opposed to frying but think that this would be a welcome option.

Stayed in September 2023

Breakfast was good but would have liked more options. i.e. cereal/ porridge on offer.

Stayed in September 2023

Radiator didn’t work in room, didn’t mind as room was warm enough without it on

Nice big room, very clean, staff nice

Stayed in September 2023

The location is ideal and the food was good.

Stayed in September 2023

For our backs the mattress was a bit too soft. We kept rolling into the middle. Maybe it might need a revision or refreshing?

We appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and the friendly staff. The room was lovely with everything needed. Coffee and tea was provided as well as as small bottle of a local spirit. Everything came across as clean and well kept. We had dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed our meal.

Nothing

It’s cosy atmosphere

Stayed in September 2023

Probably needed more staff at breakfast time

No cereals on offer at breakfast but good selection of cooked breakfast. Good location for visiting local area and this passing through

Stayed in September 2023

It was fine. Perhaps the hotel was a little dated and probably needed painted

Pleasant place to stay. Obviously there must have been a problem with staffing as 3 of the staff had only started work in the last 2 weeks

Stayed in August 2023
