A beautiful, comfortable clean space with excellent, helpful friendly staff. The hotel is set in beautiful countryside where the river Tweed runs at the bottom of the garden and the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey next door. There are walks to suit all straight from the front door.

We loved staying in this beautiful old hotel. The staff were so kind and treated us like we were the only ones there. The food was delicious and the head chef was so thoughtful that she put a vegetarian dish on the menu for me. We only planned to stay one or two nights but couldn’t bring ourselves to leave and ended up staying 4 nights.

Lovely hotel
The hotel has beautiful, well maintained gardens and grounds that are alive with birds. The Tweed gracefully glides past. The hotel has recently had some investment and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Relaxing and good value break.
Wasn't sure what to expect as we dont usually stay in hotels. A very grand building if a little faded. Room was very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower could do with an upgrade and the collapsible plastic kettle was a bit disconcerting. Staff were excellent. Very friendly and accommodating. Evening meal was very good as was breakfast. Plenty of choice with breakfast served in a room overlooking the grounds. Overall good value if you want somewgere quiet and relaxing.

A truly beautiful hotel in a wonderful country setting. We only spent one night there as part of a longer trip but we could have very easily spent a few days there exploring the surrounding countryside. If any traveller is looking for a great place to relax and forget the rest of the world for a while, we would recommend this spot.
