Hated it
Pros:

Nothing, breakfast was nice, that's it.

Cons:

Everything, the noise from the street, heavy duty vehicles roaring at 2 am in morning, the view was awful, looking out to derelict building and a shop with flashing lights, absolutely ridiculous, paid £375 for 3 nights, stayed only one night,made our excuses left next morning,asked for peace quiet, wat we got was heavy duty noise for hours on end, kids screaming, traffic brutal, cannot believe we gave them £375,wat a total waste of a lot of money,couldn't believe we had to make excuse not to come back.

Charmy Eccelefechan hotel
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay at the Eccelefechan hotel. My room was clean and very cosy. The building is listed, so the whole hotel carries the old touch to it both on the exterior and the interior, which gives the hotel a very charmy feeling to it. The host is also very nice and welcoming.
Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Cons:

The heater wasn't working in the bathroom , but this was only a minor issue.
