“What stands out is the secluded wooded estate along the River Tweed, offering private fishing. The award-winning restaurant emphasizes locally sourced, seasonal cuisine which is a plus. I think families will appreciate the child-friendly environment, and its recognition as Country Sports Hotel of the Year certainly speaks to its appeal.”
