My wife and I never go abroad but do travel quite extesively in the UK. We particularly love Scotland. Windlestraw was a wonderful new find for us, nothing was too much trouble and our room was delightful. I can honestly say we have never eaten better in a hotel and the attention paid by Paul to my wife's allergies was... more

lovely hotel, great hosts, and wonderful food. Alan and Julie made a lovely gester on my husband 65th birthday and made it very special. Anyone who is not totally impressed by this hotel and the special couple have no idea what they are talking about. wish I was going back next week. more

We had a wonderful relaxing 3 days at the end of June.Our room was very clean and comfortable with a fabulous view. The hotel is very well placed for visiting the surrounding towns . However the absolute highlight of our stay was the food . I dont think we have ever experienced such delicious quality food . Everything from the... more

My husband brought me here for a birthday treat and it was just perfect. We live in Edinburgh so it's only about 30 miles away but it's another world.

Alan's fabulous gourmet dinners were beautifully presented. An article was recently devoted to him... more

It's an excellent small hotel run by friendly and accommodating hosts, who are unobtrusively but unmistakably professional. The location overlooking the Tweed valley is beautiful: it's less than 40... more

We have unfortunately had to return home after a very poor experience at the above hotel. We had to return home arriving in the early hours of the morning, having been told 30 minutes after our arrival, in no uncertain terms that the dining area is off limits to children. We had booked to stay for a celebratory weekend "dining... more

The lodge we stayed was really beautifully decorated inside, nice big garden and amazing view. The breakfast and dinner were really 5 star quality. The price we found slightly too expensive. more

We stay at Windlestraw a couple of times a year and wouldn't actually consider going anywhere else for our respective birthdays. In fact, if it wasn't out of deep respect for our waistlines and livers, we would stay longer than the couple of nights we do each time! Alan and Julie (we'll come to the mutt in a minute) go... more
