Newcastle Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff and fantastic Scottish breakfast"

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

8/10 Good

"Gorgeous setting Lovely "old world" Hotel."

Schloss Roxburghe Golf Resort, Part of Destination by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Booking restaurant reservations for more than six people is via an automated telephone system which isn’t managed. Very difficult to book a table. Book on line should provide a larger table capacity selection or provide an email to request a table for larger parties not the telephone system."

George and Abbotsford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was the perfect place for me and my dog. We got a nice clean room, very friendly staff, and two very good meals. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. I’m considering coming back to the town just to come back to the hotel."

Maitlandfield House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A lot of reviews for this house were quite bad. This is the review of the room we had on the ground floor. Massive room & bathroom. Shower for less able people & a lovely big bath. Everywhere was spotless. We had a 6 foot bed that was very comfortable. Yes, the wallpaper was old & stained but this house is very old & must take a great deal of upkeep. The dining room was lovely, as was the breakfast Our friends had the room next door & their opinion was the same as ours. All 4 of us would definitely return"

The Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very friendly lady on reception (and at breakfast). Nice room and very central location."

Roxburghe Cottages, Part of Destination by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Pet friendly hotel and cottages. Plenty of areas to walk around the grounds. In the hotel there is a pet friendly bar and restaurant area. The clubhouse has food too. There is a small shop, lovely pastries. The only issue is no welcome pack with a map of the grounds, how to work the hob, cooker and heating. Even the staff didn’t know how to work the heaters! One out of three worked after a google search. However this will not stop us going back. Staff were friendly and helpful."

Harvieston Hall Estate Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Room was ok but I tried to speak to somebody about checking in the key was not in lock box but left In door of room"

The Tontine Hotel
