Pros:

The Horse and Hound is located in a quiet area of the borderlands, yet has access to a good road net hat puts you in the center of many great places to visit. The place is quaint and comfortable, with the dining area being bright and cheerful, and the pub (the oldest part of the building) and is the village place to go (the locals are very friendly). The staff are cheerful and helpful, and the food is very good. The rooms are a decent size, with on suite bathrooms, and the beds are comfortable. We loved it.

Pros:

The staff were friendly and polite, and helped
The restaurant food was also excellent, well presented and very tasty, most enjoyable part of our stay
The rooms are at best a 2*& hardly a 3*, & how the property is rated 8.4 out of 10 on Expedia is beyond us.
To top every thing off the fire alarm went off in the early hours, us and one other of the guests made our way out only to return, as the alarm was switched off and no one sort to check how the guests were!
The shower was difficult to turn on and off & It leaked through on to the floor during the night
The fire door separating the public bar areas and the accommodation rooms, constantly banged until the late evening hours, hardly ideal
This property was not only overrated but also over priced for the poor accommodation that it is. Do not stay, go somewhere else. But the food in the restaurant is excellent.

Great food
Pros:

Room was bright and clean. The shower cubicle has mouldy seals which is off putting. The shower was not very warm or the water pressured enough. The area was quiet and restful. The beds were somewhat hard and creaky but others might say comfortable, we can only say how we found them. It was a one night stay, food excellent as in evening meals, we didnt stay for breakfast as too full.

A sray in a very old building
Pros:

Reception ok as was busy in the bar. Room/bathroom clean and comfortable but small. Very old building so floors squeaked and groaned in our bedroom, bathroom, hallway and next room so every movement was heard.

Pros:

We really y enjoyed our obey night stopover on the way home from a great holiday in Shetland. The room was very comfortable (would have preferred a double but only twin available when we booked). Very nice bar & the food in the restaurant was oustanding both dinner & breakfast. Slightly odd that the pub was virtually empty on a Friday night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pros:

A very pleasant stay in a beautiful area. The evening meal quality was adequate. I was disappointed that for accommodation at this price level did not include breakfast. I obviously missed the small print!

Pros:

It was a first for us to stay in a country inn that is also dog friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful and the people who work there are lovely. The property is clean and the bedroom we stayed in is a decent size. The food is delicious and hearty. We will definitely be visiting again.
