Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in the beautiful Tweed valley, offering a lovely setting near the golf course. The rooms provided comfortable beds and good showers but suffered from a poorly maintained carpet. The service was exceptional, with the Night manager going above and beyond with a smile, despite having only one receptionist available. Dining included Sicilian cunzato bread, adding a delightful touch to the experience. Despite some room maintenance issues, the overall stay was enjoyable and relaxing.
The hotel had worn-out armchairs and a carpet in poor repair but provided new towels and a lovely bathroom in the room. The receptionist was welcoming and accommodating, but the dining experience was average. The location offered beautiful views of the Tweed valley with delicious snacks available. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor room issues and average dining options.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very comfortable with great showers and a good deep clean, but the carpet was in such a poor state of repair. The hotel is in a lovely location in the beautiful Tweed valley, but the dining options were limited. The service was friendly, with an extra effort from the Night manager, but there was only one receptionist available at times.
The hotel offers a mix of beauty and wear and tear. The rooms feature worn-out armchairs and poorly maintained carpets, yet boast beautiful views and comfortable beds with good showers. The service is exceptional with a warm welcome and extra effort from the staff despite limited reception. Located in the stunning Tweed Valley with proximity to the golf course, the hotel provides a serene escape, but noise may be an issue. The dining experience offers typical dishes, and the facilities are adequate. A great place to stay if you value charm and service over perfection.
