Exactly what I needed for my over night stay in the borders. The room was excellent, bed comfy and shower excellent. The restaurant was great with a good menu. Food very tasty and well priced. Staff were attentive and friendly. Will return again for sure.

Absolutely outstanding! We were there for dinner in the pub area which was wonderful. We were treated like long lost friends and the food was brilliant. We had a sneaky peek at an unoccupied bedroom which looked incredible. We will be back!

A group of us stayed here whilst we attended a wedding locally. The rooms are excellent and the staff really bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. I'd highly recommend you stay here if you're visiting the area. Allan, you're a legend mate!

Popped in for lunch with family. The food was gorgeous. Great portions and beautifully laid out. Our waiter was friendly, polite and very helpful. Will definitely eat here again. Highly recommend.

Bit disappointing. Sandwich looked very unappetising, thick bread with crusts left on, would've looked so much nicer with crusts off and cut into triangles! Brie and cranberry filling was full of brie rind cut in bits.

We had lunch there today and it was really great. We only intended to have 2 courses and ended up with 3 as the food was so good. A food coma ensued. Would highly recommend this venue.

Lucky enough to get a table on Friday evening. We had scallops served with crispy black pudding, pea puree and roast tomatoes on vine. All cooked to perfection. This was followed by fillet steak with all the trimmings including a delightful pepper sauce. Steak cooked perfectly and the had cut chips were addictive. A big well done to the friendly staff who were helpful and attentive.

We booked a table last minute for New Year's Day. We have two young children and from the minute we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were wonderful and friendly even dancing with our excited 3 year old and cooing over our baby. The food was delicious and served in excellent time with out feeling rushed. We will definitely be coming again and HIGHLY recommend. Thanks xx
