The dog-friendly atmosphere and spacious rooms create a welcoming environment, while the focus on locally sourced dining, particularly the generous breakfast, stands out. I find the hotel's location ideal for exploring the Scottish Borders, and its communal spaces seem perfect for both families and business travelers.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Somerton House Hotel generally receives positive feedback, with guests often highlighting the spacious and comfortable rooms, some featuring amazing bathrooms equipped with both a deep free-standing bath and a roomy shower. The on-site restaurant is a popular feature, serving delicious food with ample portions; the breakfast is also very well-cooked and presented. Its location near the M74 makes it a convenient stopover, and a lovely nature reserve is just a 10-minute walk away, though some guests have noted that some rooms are located in a separate building from the main hotel. many find it an excellent choice for exploring the area.

The breakfast had great choices and the food tasted amazing.
I found the room needing some maintenance. A blind would not close and all the cords had knots because of damage. The hot water tap had no water coming out of it (this was inconvenient).

Excellent Stay!

spacious roomcomfortable bedgreat bathroomfriendly staff
I stayed in a ground floor room, and it was very spacious. The bed was large and comfortable, so I slept well. The bathroom was great, and it seemed ideal for people with mobility issues. All staff were very friendly and polite.
The hot water tap in the basin had a very low flow rate.
