Cringletie House Hotel

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.
