A wonderful place from which to explore and area of Scotland we hadn't seen before.
Pros:

There was good variety in the continental breakfast. Everything very clean, all mod cons in the room and the staff very friendly, helpful and informative. The hotel is located in an ideal position to explore both sides of the border and we thoroughly enjoyed trips to Kielder and also around Hawick / Selkirk. Beautiful countryside.

Cons:

Nothing!

A quirky hotel in the lovely village of Newcastleton.
Pros:

The Grapes is a friendly, well run hotel. It’s a little bit quirky but that just adds to its charm. All the staff I encountered were welcoming and helpful. Although a limited menu, the meals were prepared well and delicious. Excellent value for money.

Cons:

Breakfasts are a cold selection only but you are offered plenty.
