Really good Food and Service
convenient parking quaint atmosphere clean toilet
The pub was easy to access and provided convenient parking. I found the atmosphere cute and really quaint. Access to the rooms was available both from inside the pub and directly from the roadside. The room felt spacious and comfortable, with a clean toilet area. It included nice toiletries and fluffy towels. I had dinner in the restaurant, it was a busy spot with local patrons. the meal was both delicious and good value.
The fish had a somewhat bland taste for my liking.

The breakfast was good. All ingredients from local suppliers, including homemade granola.
I hate that the bathroom lacked proper ventilation. Mold grew in the shower and the musty smell was always in my room. This.

Amazing Scottish Borders Stay!
superb choice friendly staff
I stayed here for a couple of nights and found it very cute. Breakfast had a superb choice. I recommend the full English. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
I would have liked more vegetarian options available for dinner. There was only one vegetarian meal on the menu , and combining side dishes was less than ideal.

The room was nice and neat, with above-average-quality towels. I found the bed comfortable, and the room size was adequate for my needs. The space was well kept, and everything looked to be in good condition.
