Frommer's Review

This imposing 1861 red-sandstone Victorian mansion with towers and turrets is one of the most delightful country-house hotels in the Borders. Known for its charming setting and its luxurious rooms, the hotel stands on 11 hectares (28 acres) of well-manicured grounds, featuring a 17th-century walled garden that in itself is worth a visit. The tasteful house is immaculately maintained, with public rooms that range from an elegant cocktail lounge to an adjacent conservatory. There's even a small library, an elevator (thankfully), and a large lounge where guests from all over the world meet and chat. Each of the spacious bedrooms is individually decorated; several units contain their own original fireplaces, and a few have four-poster beds. All accommodations open onto views of the extensive grounds. The bathrooms are well maintained and come with luxurious toiletries.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; putting green; tennis court; babysitting; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
