The first sight that greeted us as we walked the last half-mile of our day's walking from Melrose was a line of flagposts marking Crailing Old School. Alongside the Scottish saltire, the Union flag and the Devon flag marked the country we were in, the nationality of the visitors and the Devon roots from which our hosts had originally come.... More

Yet another traveller on St Cuthbert's Way and blessed to have found such a hospitable place to stay for my first night after a driech day. Jean gave a warm welcome along with lashings of tea in front of a warm log fire; perfect for tired legs to sink into the comfy sofa. Dinner was excellent, beautifully spiced parsnip soup,... More

Just stayed here whilst walking the St Cuthberts Way. It was superb. The accommodation and food were fantastic. Jean's cooking was better than most fancy, expensive restuarants. Nothing was a bother for the wonderful hosts. We could have easily stayed longer.

We too had a tiring first stage of the St Cuthbert’s Way and arrived at this paradise in the middle of nowhere. We were welcomed by Jean and ushered into the comfort of the maple room. After a shower and time to relax we dined on perfectly steamed asparagus on which nestled lightly poached quails eggs, followed by chicken breasts... More

The dining room display included a certificate for second place in "Landlady of the Year" and I'd love... More

Excellent service backed up by first class accommodation including bedroom with en suite and lounge. Dinner was outstanding home cooking followed by a great cooked breakfast to set us up for a days walking.

What a perfect B&B - the atmosphere was charming, the rooms very clean and comfortable with every desirable amenity, the visitor lounge very relaxing, but best of all were the hosts and the amazing food! My boyfriend and I had a very enjoyable stay and the breakfasts were possibly my favorite ever at a B&B - yum! Jean and Ray... More

This must be one of the best B&B''s in the Uk. It's an old school with a very nice lounge. The rooms are very nice and also very clean. They serve the breakfast what you want; continental or English. The landlady and her husband are very helpfull and friendly, they arranged all our rounds of golf, and gave us advice... More
