This is very good choice for anyone who enjoys small Scottish towns located in very fine countryside, while being in very easy reach of all that the Edinburgh, Lothians and The Border region has to offer. We would definitely stay there again, understanding that this is a 200+ year old building and, in all fairness, could benefit from minor cosmetic improvements; a bit of painting, improved lighting - especially on the stairs (I actually fell due to the poor lighting, but no harm done), just a genial 'brightening' of the hotel part of the building could be done for very little money and would step the space without making it too modern. But, a very good effort made by the very friendly and helpful staff made this a fine visit. Thank You - well recommended!
