Hot, needs TLC & big bar opening during day

Unbelievably hot, the room was unbearable would have been helped if all the windows had not been closed prior to arrival. Fan on night 2 helped, but compared to the corridors the rooms were so hot. Hotel would benefit from some TLC, nothing seems to have changed in 2.5 years. Staff are lovely welcoming, and try but the main bar would benefit from being open during the day to save long queues at the small lounge bar, and table service would be nice when paying as much as do.

Staff and service make the hotel

Food and staff excellent. Hotel a bit dated in some areas. The room wee stayed in was small. The TV was placed on a wall not directly in front of the bed . The bed was only reasonably comfortable. I’ve stayed in better accommodation for the price.

We drove to the hotel from Oxfordshire and arrived late afternoon. After settling in, bathing and getting ready for dinner, we went down to the Miller Lounge for supper. We were advised that we were 5 minutes too late (8.35pm) and the kitchen wasn't taking any more orders. This included room service. Reception did not provide any advice on where we could get some food (this information came from a random staff member). The offer of a sandwich for late arrivals would have been reasonable - and appreciated. Didn't really expect this from a 4 star hotel.

Great location with plenty to do

Very pleasant old style large hotel. Needs some updating, but room still comfortable enough though bath took a long time to fill. Good breakfast selection, no queues during week but on Saturday very busy - a popular wedding venue which also filled up the car parking. Lovely grounds with various activities for families and children, nice pool and leisure facilities. Dinner one evening was good but restaurant a bit bright and lacking ambience. Bar area with log fire lovely though music is not in line with the average clientele and put some people off. Some old classic piano bar stuff would be better. Great location for walking into the town and lovely walks along the Tweed and trips to other towns. We stayed 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time.
