“Top Fishing Hotel with great staff and food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Stayed with a couple of pals for a night prior to a days fishing on The Tweed. Phillip the owner made us very welcome and his colleagues Darren & Lorna looked after us very well. There's a nice bar with local beers; fod was very good; fat juicy ham steaks andd scampi and a magnificent breakfast. Nice rooms All at a very good price. Phillip brought us down The Tweed River Reports at breakfast. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We will return; well done

“Great location and ample parking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

It was only an overnight stay for me and at £40 i wasn't expecting much.
The room was pretty much bog standard, but was clean and comfortable and so was the toilet.
Let down by an awful breakfast though!

“food and service”

people found this review helpful

The menu was very small and basic for a sunday afternoon.... 7 people went for this meal and 2 people had their starter around 5 mins before the rest of our starters came. When they did come the food was cold. The main again was cold and the amount of portions of veg that we were to share were small and uninteresting.... the staff were very sour faced and we had to pass the drinks down the table instead of the waitress doin her job.... on a whole the meal was very disappointing and i wouldn't recommend this hotel

“In my opinion the basics of a good hotel are a comfy bed and a good shower and you do not get either in this hotel.”

This place this looks dated from the outside as well as the inside and is vastly overpriced! The tv in our room barely worked and the shower did not work at all despite complaints to reception!!! Breakfast was not bad but did not make up for a terrible nights sleep on an uncomfy matteress.
