“Nestled in parkland near the Eildon Hills, this hotel strikes me as a restful base for exploring the Scottish Borders. The on-site restaurant and varied leisure facilities, including billiards, also mean you don't necessarily have to venture out. While some aspects might show their age, the friendly service appears to be a constant.”
