A warm borders welcome

Liked: Leanne the manager was first rate. Always on hand to offer advice and help out if needed. In the bar we were made to feel very welcome and got chatting as soon as we walked in. Can I just say the Scottish breakfast was outstanding and was just what I needed with a 6 hour drive ahead. I would book again in a second.
Disliked: There is no private parking but it's easy to park in the coop car park. It was just a haul for me with several heavy cases.

Ideal stopover accommodation

Liked: The bed was very comfortable and a good walking shower. It is a wet pub, with no evening meals, however impressed that they provided a number of nearby places to eat beforehand. We ate at the Ship Inn in Melrose which was very good. Dog friendly with lots provided on request. Log fire in the bar and locals very friendly and chatty.
Disliked: Normally the pub would offer a cooked breakfast, however on this occasion the manager was away, so only a continental breakfast was offered which we declined. No real ale!

Very good
