6/10 Good

This hotel is okay, but the rooms are old and could do with an update. The staff were very good and helpful. Be carful when you book this hotel, we actually wanted to be in the Buccleuch hotel in Moffatt, but booked this one instead, apparently a common mistake made by many.

Clean but dated accommodation

We stayed for one night for a nearby wedding. The room was dated and tired, but clean. Breakfast took a while and wasn't great. There was only one waitress doing everything. The breakfast food quality wasn't great and everything was very greasy. I couldn't eat it.

Friendly staff can only go so far

Really helpful and friendly staff, but the room was POOR. Very tired room and hotel. I had a Guinness and a burger for dinner which was good. But the room was draughty and in poor condition. I slept in my socks and tracksuit bottoms!!! Breakfast was good but so uncomfortable as it was freezing room temperature. Do t be fooled by the official images in app for this hotel. They must have been taken years ago.

8/10 Very good

The building is historic and has a nice ambiance. Our room was small but sufficient. My dinner (meat pie) was delicious.

Quiet, friendly old road house. The staff were helpful and made you feel welcomed. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent. Would come back again. If you have time St. Cuthbert’s Way hike is close by and is a beautiful walk along the river, especially in May.
Donna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very helpful friendly staff but hotel so old its rooms need upgrading therefore didnt feel it was worth the money. Lovely place but nothing to do!! No pubs or shops!! Obviously not the hotels fault but beacuse of this felt alot of money for a mediocre (but very clean) room in a village where there is nothing!

Food was fabulous - breakfast superb and great dinners! Only slight suggestion - skylight in Room #19 very dirty - would have been great it is was clean. But that is just a minor element in what was overall a wonderful stay! Thank you!

HORRIBLE NIGHT

The building was clean and well kept… EXCEPT FOR THE ROOM! There was NO air circulation whatsoever! We reported it at supper and asked for a fan because the window was NOT OPENABLE not even a bit! We were told no fans available. We were NOT offered any compensation, not a different room, or money back. We were told that the room was reported unfit a couple of weeks before we were put in there. It should not be let out! We were in room 15 at top floor! NOT good when you have a dog to take out! I had always wanted to stay there but no more. This was during a heatwave of 20c at night! Food was GREAT, Service was friendly except for the ‘death trap’ they put us in and we are in our 70s! Hallway’s were cool due to open windows but we weren’t sleeping in the hall! JEYS were hard to fit and unlock the door from outside! Room was lovely. I wet a cold towel in cold water and used it like a blanket. My partner wool up every hour from the sweltering heat and no NO air circulation. It was like being in a concrete box! Breakfast was also Great! ABSOLUTELY NO COMPENSATION, NO CHANGE OF ROOM WAS OFFERED. I didn’t ask because I was waiting and expecting something to be offered! Even my little dog was struggling with the heat and no air circulation. I expected a pleasant night’s stay and almost booked two nights! So very GLAD I DIDN’T!!!

We have to say, that there were a few minor things, as in we wanted a twin room and initially got a king room. I don't know his name but the whole team were so lovely, responded quickly in providing complimentary drinks even when we hadn't complained. We thought that your team were exceptional.. thank you

Buccleuch Stay

Stayed for 2 nights. Both of us infirm but no offer of help with luggage. Breakfasts were average. We had one dinner but it was not very good. Wouldn’t recommend the food. Only a skylight in our room so no view other than sky. 1 waitress was very cheery and helpful, the rest gave the impression that they were doing a job without much enthusiasm.

We had the most awful bedroom and my friends paid the same amount and their room was bigger , brighter . Felt like army barracks , thoroughly disappointed
Philippa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked being able to have a hot bath. I prefer a bath to a shower. It suits me being beside the A68 - long journey north <-> south. I found the internet use very unreliable. Even downstairs where I was told it would work - that turned out to be only in the restaurant or standing at the foot of the stairs!
