Really lovely
Pros:

It was cost and classic

Cons:

Nothing really but found it odd that you can take a dog but have to sit in a carpeted lounge for breakfast rather than in the large breakfast room
We would much preferred to have been able to sit in the breakfast room
Could they have a few tables in the main breakfast room for dogs

Our stay was too short but what time we had was perfect
Pros:

Very well appointed rooms and bathrooms. Extremely comfortable beds.
Fabulous decor in main lounge like an old manor house but very welcoming. Not to mention excellent location

Cons:

From a personal point of view I found the defuser with reeds too over powering for the room size.

Shame the restaurant wasn't open a little later

But really nothing negative to say

Pros:

Breakfast was good loads of choice, comfy big bed.

Cons:

Supposed to be a Tweed Suites cosy room but very cold room, had to ask for heaters. Log burners in breakfast room and lounge downstairs but never alight, so couldnt warm up there. No lighting outside to show driveway when walking to hotel.

Tweenies bar is fantastic, great music and vibe however we wouldn’t book to stay over in the lodge again due to feeling
Pros:

Location and great bar

Cons:

Unfortunately the rest of the lodge doesn’t match up to bar it has a very different atmosphere and dynamic. We took our little dog but felt a bit limited as to where could sit to relax as dogs aren’t allowed in the lounge area or the bar restaurant.

We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay again.
Pros:

This is our second visit to stay at Tweedies. It is in a lovely location, nice comfortable rooms and very good breakfast.

Cons:

We were allocated a dog friendly room, although we didn’t have a dog.
The room was very nice and clean, but i feel dog friendly rooms should only be for guests with dogs.
