Beautiful hotel in beautiful grounds and amazing service.
Pros:

The breakfast was delicious!

Cons:

Was not aware that I had to pay an extra £25 for the two childrens beds in the room. Was still worth the money, but would have been better if it was added to the initial booking.

Poor management
Pros:

Good cooked breakfast. Friendly staff at breakfast only.

Cons:

When we arrived at check in times doors were locked and no one around good start not. Not shown or told anything about the hotel once able to check in. Not even shown to room and staff at reception did not appear welcoming.
Mattress in room 7 is not good slopes to the sides, poor night's sleep thankfully only 1 night. Poor sheets on bed did not even cover the sides of mattress and came off overnight. Cobwebs around the room and shower glass had dark mold on it.
No one around at check out to check our stay.

More than happy with the hotel and staff and would recommend.
Pros:

Location was good in a very nice Victorian building. Staff/Owners were very helpful. Breakfast staff were very good.

Cons:

No evening meal available but maybe that was an assumption on my part. Owners arranged a table at a local restaurant , close by , which was excellent, which more than made up for it.

Excellent stay, all staff very attentive meeting all our needs
Pros:

Would recommend for a wonderful and peaceful few days away from the routine and hustle and bustle. The house itself has so much history and character. The owners were attentive and welcoming. Sue made us a lovely lunch late into the afternoon on our arrival. Location was great as we visited Kelso and Melrose and went for a lovely drive to Selkirk. All in all would highly recommend.
