Not bad but could do a whole lot better! Too expensive for the experience.
Pros:

Great location and the pub has good character.
The breakfast was good but not great.
Roomn sizes are generally good.

Cons:

Breakfast is good, but not great.
I know the current owner is looking to sell but staff turnover seems to be high and there aren't enough of them.
I attend musical weekends in Ettrickbridge several times a year so stay frequently (no other options!) and it could be a wonderful place. However, they are charging Edinburgh prices for an experience that is not commensurate. Plumbing dodgy in several rooms. Maintenance like dud bulbs and cobwebs on windows suggest a general lack of care.

Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff.
Beautifully clean, comfy rooms.
As it was very hot on our stay, we were given a fan for the room, a sheet to replace the duvet if we do desired.
The meal was delicious as was breakfast.

Cons:

Not anything we were not happy with.
