A delight of Denholm.
Pros:

Great location for exploring the Borders or if it’s a warm day just sitting outside of the Inn right across from the village green we found to be really relaxing.
Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The evening meal we had and the breakfast was really good with attentive staff on hand.
A really enjoyable stay.

Cons:

There was nothing that spoilt our stay and hope to stay again.

Enjoyed staying there & would go back
Pros:

I had a good cooked breakfast every day as part of my booking & the evening meal 5 nights were excellent & charged at an average price.

Cons:

It isnt a criticism and it wouldnt put me off going back but the benefit of having the downstairs room was offset by the noise of everyone using the building passing your room & it is a busy place & the windows overlook the street.
