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.
