Highly recommended in every respect. Clean and comfortable; lovely furnishings; very convenient location; breakfasts considerably above average; and Robin [the owner] is a friendly welcoming host who takes a genuine interest in all his guests. We shall certainly return next time we are in the Borders..

We were recommended this B&B by a local resident. It was a little more than we would normally consider but proved that sometimes you do get what you pay for. We were greeted by Robin and welcomed to his home. Our period furnished room had a large (6'), comfortable, bed and a very good shower. There was a large sitting... More

An excellent establishment in all respects. Beautiful house and furnishings, comfortable beds an spotlessly clean. Mein host is most welcoming, a good raconteur, very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was first class and using local produce was of a quality that puts many a 5 star hotel to shame. We will return!!

My wife and I spent our wedding night at the old priory and found the owner to be a lovey man who was friendly and a genuine person. Top marks for the room and cleanliness. The breakfast the next day were superb. Well worth the money and we intend to go back and stay there this year.

My son and I stayed for one night on a cycling tour of the Scottish Borders. Our hosts made us feel very welcome throughout our stay - the rooms were clean and spacious and very comfortable. The central location in town meant that we were close to pubs, restaurants etc. - overall a great place to stay and if we're... More

Stayed here for 3 nights when we were fishing on the Tweed. Extremely comfortable beds, wifi in all the rooms, clean, great breakfast, friendly host and good value. If you're after something that does all those things then this is the place for you. Rooms at the front have a cobbled street outside and traffic noise on this surface seems... More
