the staff were friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure a great stay. i booked the last available room because my daughter was in the nearby borders general hospital, a fortunate find. the cooked breakfast, though i requested it vegetarian, was delicious. i enjoyed my short visit.
the room wasn't as clean as i expected. the table's surface had marks, suggesting it wasn't wiped properly.

I loved the central location. I managed to park in the main square with no charge! the en-suite was high spec. I totally enjoyed it. i had my dog with me and we were assigned a nice table for meals. it was in the lounge part of the bar near the restaurant. It had more space and was more relaxing!
The bedroom was dark. Plus, it was very noisy during the day because of a generator outside, seriously! the bed was not comfortable at all. It affected my sleep.
