In my honest opinion
This is my honest opinion. It wasn't the worst experience I've had. The boy Tom is absolutely fantastic well mannered and went above and beyond. We stayed in the winnie suite. At 1st glance its stunning but as we started to use the hot tub it seems like the jets were not working like there was so kind of fault. The hot tub wasn't very clean ie some flys/grit. Bathroom was lovely and the big bath in bedroom. However we had to ask for hot water to be turned on which i found was a bit weird. Small fridge didn't work properly ie didn't keep drinks cool. Dinner was ok starters were good. My partner had a burger side order of macaroni that was very dry my steak pie was good. It was a friday and there was only 6 people in the restaurant. Breakfast was really good we had a few bits from the menu full Breakfast, toast, mushrooms and pancakes with bacon. In my honest opinion i think some little things need some tlc and it would be a fantastic place.

The room that we had the shower didn't work properly. Managed eventually to get warm water then turned cold after a few seconds, tried to rectify it but the water shut down completely. Tea and coffee making facilities - only 2 tea bags, no coffee pods and 1 milk pod.

Great welcome by the staff and the property has, in the past, been thoughtfully decorated but the rooms are showing signs of disrepair and aren't well sound proofed against road noise. The TV didn't work.

So far the most comfy and welcoming place I have stayed at while here. This was my first time in the UK and I’m glad to have stayed here. Good room for the price with breakfast included. Only snag is the place is out of range for taxi/uber pickups. They are able to drop off if you’re coming from Edinburgh but best to rely on Eskbank station or a rental car if you need to get back.

Ups and downs
This place was probably amazing in the past and could be in the future but at the moment the accommodation is looking tired and worn and is serious need of investment . I’ve read other reviews and would agree with most regarding the cleanliness of the carpets as well as the need to repaint the doors . The equipment in the rooms also needs updating and cleaning especially the coffee machine which had a tray with old pods in it . The decking and outside space also needs cleaning and varnishing to bring it up to standard . On a positive the food was really good both the evening meal and the breakfast . Also the service was exceptional, there is a very good team here who made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much bother . I suspect the current rating is based on historical scores and unless the owners address the basics around the standard of the rooms then this rating will continue to drop based on the accommodation . I would eat here again in an instant but wouldn’t stay again until the fundamentals were addressed .
