I have stayed here twice in two weeks for work and both times have been welcomed by Chris who has been very friendly and carried my bags to my room and made sure I felt very at home. On my first stay I was in room two which was nice and big, warm with everything you need. Lovely Molton Brown... More

Thank you for your comments. We obviously have an issue with room 6 heating which I will be attending to, although not normally an issue through the year, the recent cold snap has been a challenge. We have had all our WIFI aerials/hubs re-set and the connection should now not be an issue. More

We received a very warm welcome on arrival but the room was quite chilly . We had booked in advance and were expected , so think that the heating should have been on . We booked a double room , but there was only one bedside lamp . There were lots of different drinks available to prepare , plus biscuits... More

Thank you for the feedback. Policy on room heating is turned on at 1pm for arrivals from 2pm, so it appears that your radiators may not have been set right by house-keeping staff. We will review heights of each room shower fittings in light of your comments and will add shower caps to room supplies. More

Stayed here one night with my husband, daughter and fiancé. Evening meal was delicious and also superb breakfast, with excellent service. Rooms were first class. Unfortunately it was a very wild windy night and having to go outdoors to our annexe rooms was a little inconvenient. More

How a so-called respectable restaurant could cover such a regal fish as the Salmon in cheap oily batter. Overpriced and under quality. Room was ok though and the staff helpful. More

Thank you for your comments and are pleased your stay was comfortable and the staff looked after you. In regards to the fish, we understand this dish does not suit everyone and is very occasionally used. In fact we have several fish dishes on the blackboard at any one time, such as monkfish, turbot, dover sole - to reflect the... More

Without doubt the best short break available for anyone wishing to recharge their batteries in a convivial atmosphere whilst having the best of service, accommodation and food available in the whole Borders region. The Wheatsheaf at Swinton offers the ultimate reason for disappearing from the reality of today's stressful world and indulging oneself in excellent food, wine and tastefully decorated... More

We stayed here two years ago and liked it, decided to organise a family get-together this year when we were touring the Borders with a Canadian friend (so three rooms taken together). We asked again for Room 7 which is spacious and well decorated, though the bed a bit soft for those with back problems. Wifi worked in the room... More

Very pleasant small country hotel. Chris, the proprietor, runs a well-managed, comfortable place and even took the effort to forward by overnight post an item that had been left behind. Room #1 is the best. Large comfortable bed, excellent bathroom with full shower AND an extra long bath tub. Free internet. Dining room had an excellent menu. If we return... More

Service in the Wheatsheaf was excellent from every level of staff, nothing was too much bother. We stayed in Jasmine Cottage but dined in the main hotel, we felt we had the best of both worlds, the buzz of the hotel but our own little corner to retreat and relax in. The location proved to be an excellent base to... More

We live in the borders and there are places with better food and value for money. My steak was of a poor quality which came with thin frozen chips on a plate and nothing else. When my husband asked for potatoes they said they only had chips and offered an alternative salad which was a pile of lettuce leaves and... More
