Very quirky place. Very clean, bed lovely and comfy. Staff very friendly from check in to restaurant and check out. Breakfast beautifully presented. Will definitely stay again as a base next time. Loved the history of the place and the Polish Scottish Flag

Pros:

We visit a couple of times a year and really enjoy the quiet .

Cons:

There had been a bus tour in the night of our stay which we feel should have staggered the breakfast times as when we went for breakfast there was dirty tables and very little food ready plus they where drainingbthe coffee machines I to there travel mugs which didn't sit well with us .

Hotel is in need of renovation but lovely food and friendly staff.
Pros:

The grounds, the food, waitress who served our dinner. Bedroom was nicely decorated and clean.

Cons:

The public areas and external of the buildings are very dated and could have been cleaner. The toilets off reception, the lift and carpets in particular need some renovation. The gazebo really needs painted too. Our bedroom was very hot.

Was just what we needed 😊
Pros:

Location was perfect, beautiful surroundings and an easy walk to catch the X62 bus to Peebles. Breakfast was great, with a full buffet and had the pool and sauna to ourselves in the evening which was lovely 😊

Tolles Personal aber ernüchternde in die Jahre gekommene Unterkunft
Pros:

von weitem sah das Schloss schön aus und es gab eine vegane Karten. Generell das Abendessen war toll. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Cons:

- Frühstück sehr bescheiden und ohne Beschriftung. Nur Dosenfrüchte und weiches Toast.
- Sowohl von außen als auch von innen ist bei genauerem Hinsehen alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen. (Teppichboden, Stühle aufgeplatzt…)
- extrem lange und verwinkelte Wege zu den Zimmern, die nicht gezeigt werden
- Es gab in keinem unserer 3 Zimmer eine Klobürste?!
- Keine Wasser auf dem Zimmer gestellt bekommen
- in einem Zimmer gab es weder Schrank noch Bügel zum Aufhängen der Klamotten
- sehr hellhörig zum Flur
- An der Bar nur Selbstbedienung und kein Service
- Frühstücksraum leider ohne Fenster und Möbel sehr abgängig
- Fenster lassen sich nur einen Spalt öffnen und sind ebenfalls abgängig
- Zufahrt ist ein einziges Schlagloch. Wenn man dem einen ausweichen will kommt man direkt ins nächste. Dass das Eingangstor nicht auseinander fällt ist auch alles…

Nice escape to the country. Lovely hotel wth friendly staff and lovely grounds. Very dog friendly!
Pros:

Nice staff, very accommodating as we had to book a second room very last minute a so daughters plans changed. We were also travelling with our dog and they made this easy. Lovely breakfast and nice small spa/pool/sauna area. Very pretty grounds and some interesting sights around the grounds.

Cons:

Decor is a little dated and room was a little small but grand for one night.
