If staying in Galashiels this is the place to book in to. Very friendly staff, lovely rooms, the building is fantastic. I actually can't beliveve how clean this hotel was. For all of the little trinkets and antiques I could not see one bit of dust, the staff here must work very hard to keep it to this standard. Breakfast... More

I stayed here for one night for work, the staff were fantastic a real asset to the team.

The room itself was on the top floor a... More

I spend most weeks staying in hotels, usually the large chains so the Kingsknowes is a welcome change. The food is excellent, the breakfast is second to none, the rooms are comfortable, the staff are friendly and always helpful. I always feel welcome when I arrive. More

We stayed in the turret and my teenaged daughter was thrilled! There gardens are absolutely gorgeous, the staff (Sam) was extremely personable and friendly. The restaurant food was delicious and we could hear bagpipes being played in the evening. Makes me want to go back again. More
