The breakfast arrangements appeared to be geared for the large group staying at the hotel. There was plenty of cooked food laid out at the buffet style breakfast but not enough non cooked food. There was only one four slice toaster and kept running out of bread as well as fruit and yogurt. Perhaps asking guests to prebook either cooked or continental would ensure sufficient food was available.

Superb location and beautiful setting overlooking the river Tweed and Dryberg abbey. Saw another in the river.

Some menu options not available

Perfect quiet location, next to the river Tweed and the old abbey ruins. Nice spaceous room

Unfortunately, outwith the control of hotel there was a power cut and no means of presenting a meal until after 9 am which is too late for elderly folk.

Helpful staff. Comfortable bed

Quality of food was mediocre. Ate once in restaurant and had to wait 1 1/4 hours for small piece of 'Cajun Chicken' to be served.. Limited menu. Cooked breakfast items were poor.

Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful location, helpful staff.

Cooked breakfast not always very warm and would help if plates were kept warm

great location, lovely grounds, good local walks, friendly and helpful staff on reception, fab room overlooking the front with a lovely view and very spacious, very dog friendly. enjoyed the food at dinner.

The service at dinner was a little slow (an hour and a half for two courses?) and the room was a little shabby.

The setting is unparalleled in the Borders. The staff were friendly and warm.

Would like to see more choices on the dinner menu please. Also things seemed to 'run out' at breakfast time - no grapefruit, no croissants etc.

Loved the hotel, it was so peaceful. Lovely views over the river. Clean, comfortable and very friendly staff.

Needs some money spending on it as little tired

Fabulous location! Food and service excellent, but the building a little tired.

Stayed in June 2024

Rooms are a bit outdated and not top-notch clean everywhere; there’s a bit room for improvement here.

Lovely location! Beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff.

The televisions were too small by today’s standards.

Nestled at the end of a country lane, this hotel was a delightful experience. The location was idilic and the hotel itself presented a traditional elegance. The staff were courteous and went out of their way to please. We were very happy with the whole experience and we would certainly stay there again if visiting the Borders.

There is no facility to help get out of the tub after a shower (grab handle for example) so it's tricky.

The booking system worked, the hotel is archeological lovely in a beautiful location and the staff are friendly. What's not to like?

We enjoyed our stay and have no complaints.

Dinner and breakfast were both delicious.

Not a big deal, but there are opportunities to reduce the use of plastic. A greater choice of fruit at breakfast would be welcome. Otherwise, overall provides a great service.

Top marks for the friendly and very helpful staff. We really like and appreciated having a room with plenty of space and a good view. Plus it had a comfortable bed. The hotel is located in beautiful countryside and not too far from the small Borders towns with their small independent shops and places of interest.

Rooms need refurbishing although clean on arrival. Didn't get serviced while we were out all day.

Food was superb and staff very friendly.

Waited an hour to get served having placing dinner order. The restaurant was busy but as the wait was exceptional we should have been advised and offered some nibbles would have been a nice gesture. Next evening when restaurant was quiet we were served in 15 minutes.

Comfortable hotel wonderful setting.

The evening meal was ok, but not much choice. Quite pricey.

Lovely location by the river and the abbey. The gardens were large and attractive. The reception staff were really nice. Large comfortable lounges.

When we arrived at breakfast, most of the food and drinks were already depleted. Also no hash browns.

Great vibe, feels like time travelling. Highly idyllic location.
