limited choice tiny tv
the location was great for walking the borders abbeys way. the bed was comfortable and i found the shower hot.
the hotel advertised a bar and food service, but neither was available. i found out i had to pre-order breakfast (which would have been fine), but the limited choice bothered me. when i asked for a fried egg, i was told they only do scrambled eggs (not the best, honestly). the room had a tiny tv, a bit ridiculous for the size of the room.
