Great location on multiple hiking routes, comfortable room, friendly staff, TV had ability to use streaming service. Great attention to detail - when booking hotels I mention I have coeliac disease so there are no problems at breakfast. I was very impressed that the owners had gone the extra mile and swapped out the biscuits in the room for gluten free snacks - it's rare this happens even at more 'sophisticated' hotels.

Only external window was a skylight, only other window was internal looking out into a corridor.

The breakfast was excellent - great choice of cooked and superb scrambled egg particularly (I am fussy!). The restaurant was tasty and they had a fun, free quiz night. The bar owner was very friendly and there were games to play. Also, the bed was super comfortable after we had trekked so many miles and were exhausted from camping. The tea and coffee, hot chocolate and biscuit selection in the room was great and there were books and magazines to borrow which, as a book worm with 3 days camping without a book, I was overjoyed by! We were made very welcome! The room was lovely and warm and quiet.

Nothing.

- Really genuine, friendly, lovely staff - the best feature of this hotel. So welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. - Really clean, comfortable rooms with excellent heating. We were very cosy and slept so well. - Great bar attached (with darts and lots of other games available to borrow) which had some live music on at the weekend though couldn’t hear a peep from our room. - Food served in the evenings. We ate here on the first night. Standard pub menu and though there were limited veggie options, the food was really tasty and well cooked. The chips were rather amazing! - Dog friendly! - Top cooked breakfast (served by the loveliest lady). - Beautiful village/area and well placed for exploring Scotland and Northumberland.

- It may be because it was a quiet time but the fruit options at breakfast weren’t great (and past their best). The cooked vegetarian breakfast menu option was not available (this didn’t bother me as I could mix and match some of the other options and actually preferred this!) No decaf fresh coffee available. I feel a bit picky saying this though as we enjoyed the breakfast very much and it was so well cooked!

We stayed in the Pennine Room which was lovely and a good size (though not much room at the bottom of the bed). The bathroom was large and the shower good. Breakfast was lovely - full Scottish breakfast cooked to order and choice of cereal, fruit and yogurt to start,

I booked a double room but was given a twin. However this was quickly sorted out so no problem.

The apartment was very large with a comfortable living space and dining area. The kitchenette had most things you would need. The beds were huge and very comfortable and spacious rooms. We had dinner in the pub which was delish and breakfast the next morning which was made to order. Was a really nice stay. The location was good for us for moving on for the next day. Would be good for hikers. Parking out front.

we couldn't control the heat of the place and it was very, very hot at night. Most likely due to the boiler in the kitchenette, which didn't have a door to close the heat in.

Love the scenery, and quirkiness of the hotel. Room was so peaceful and exceptionally warm (so much so, that I was praying the heating wouldn't come on during the night). Room was clean. Bedding was spotless. Food was lovely although they didn't have our 1st or 2nd choice from the menu (not a problem as quiet season so maybe not fully stocked up and we eat anything!!). Scottish breakfast was very good.

Shower was not very powerful but it was hot. Certainly wouldn't spoil my night.

The location was fabulous and quiet - such a spectacular view The staff were very accommodating especially when I required an early breakfast The evening meal I had was excellent, very tasty and good portions and the breakfast was again excellent. The room was of a good size and clean with excellent information booklets about the Border area and beyond. I can't wait to stay again

The floorboards were creaking but worse than that, the bed squeaked every time I moved. If I'd have had someone else with me, people may have thought we were having a great time!!!!! It was a divan bed so not sure why it was squeaking so much.

Our room was beautiful - fabulously light and spacious. Great views Beer garden was lovely out back Front seat a real treat for views Lovely location Nice food selection Friendly staff A few dated areas- but that only added to the charm if the building. Will definitely come again to stay. Have stop for meal or drinks several times over the years whilst cycle touring.vits perfect location for this.

No sandwiches at lunchtime available- light lunch but its cooked, we only needed minimal lunch as we cycle. A cake n coffee or sandwich would be si popular It is needed as we can't afford to cycle on a heavy stomach.

Had the pleasure of staying here when I had to make a last minute visit to the area. Staff were polite and friendly. Room was clean and more than enough for me. Internet enabled smart tv for Netflix etc. Food was fantastic. Will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in the area.

Beautiful location and very good access to many interesting places. Our room was clean and cosy and also a decent size, with a really big bathroom. All members of staff were excellent, very nice and helpful. Good food, worth the price. Overall great place, full of history 🙂 definitely would stay there again.

Very hot water in the tap, difficult to wash your hands or face - mixer tap would be much better.
