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.

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.
