“The White Swan in Duns strikes me as a real find for families exploring the Scottish Borders; the inclusion of a full cooked breakfast is a lovely touch. With its pet-friendly approach and recreational amenities like a tennis court, it seems set up for longer, relaxed stays. I picture it as a dependable base, well-situated for exploring nearby Northumberland National Park.”
