Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely looking hotel in quiet village. Our room was a lovely size with antique looking furniture but it fitted well with the room and the age of the hotel. Spotlessly clean and plenty of toiletries and towels. Breakfast was very nice and well presented and cooked. We did eat there in the evening but, whilst the food was really nice, it was spoilt by the waitress informing us as she collected the dirty dishes that unless we wanted ice cream we couldn't have a dessert because the chef had gone home. It was not even 9pm so not as if we were late eating. It would have been more polite to tell us earlier and ask if we would like to have a dessert. The chef could have then dished it up and put it in the fridge till we wanted it. The majority of the desserts were cold options anyway.

Very comfortable in room 20 very good shower over bath. Comfortable bed. Good size of room. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was a bit hectic no brown bread for toast and no marmalade though shop in village open seven days. Surely someone could have bought both there.

I stayed here with the intention of visiting the National Museum of Flight (Scotland). I arrived later than intended, & the kitchen was closed. I explained I was diabetic, & asked if there was anything I could have? For example, a ham sandwich. This was provided along with Diet Coke. The room was very nice and reminded me of my late grandparents' home. The receptionist was very helpful in ticking off the breakfast list for next day. I had difficulty in doing this due to Carpol Tunnel Syndrome. This makes it difficult for me to write. But the receptionist was very helpful. I would definitely go there again.

First impressions of the hotel via the reception at the bar was a friendly traditional hotel with a quaint interior, but on being shown to the room (number9) it was over furnished with too much free standing furniture for the size of the room and as a result was difficult to manoeuvre around the room. There was flaking paint and signs of black mould below the window. The sash window did not stay open and the secondary glazing did not do much to keep the exterior noise out. But the worst part was the night time noise. Our neighbour kept slamming his bathroom door all night and noise from the traffic outside and other noises from the corridor kept us awake for our two night stay. As a result my partner didn’t feel well enough to go down for breakfast on both mornings. The reception for breakfast on the second morning was very slow and eventually the chef came out and asked if I’d had my order taken. Eventually the staff member came out and when another couple came into the breakfast room and didn’t understand her asking what room they were in she raised her voice and sounded irritated as she asked again, which I thought rude. On checking out I rang the bell as no one was at the bar, then a member of staff walked right past me and went, I presume, to an office behind. I expected that he was fetching the day manager, but I waited another few minutes before going to the kitchen myself to ask if anyone was on reception to find a few staff members chatting. I could hear them from the bar so they must have heard the bell. When someone did come to check us out of the room she seemed grumpy and after printing out my receipt just said thank you and goodbye. There was no ‘how was your stay?’ As if she didn’t really care. I wish I’d paid attention to the few negative reviews on Trip Advisor, which are vastly outnumbered by glowing reviews. Not the friendly welcoming Scottish hospitality we have been used to. Would not recommend.

Booked for 4 days from a Sunday to Thursday, unfortunately on arrival discovered that it had been put down as Saturday to Wednesday so our plans were changed a little. Take this out of the equation and focusing on the hotel. Very clean, room was well presented and extremely quiet which was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was great, well cooked and lots of it. We were well looked after and would like to thank all the staff we interacted with for this.

The Tweedale Arms is okay downstairs if a bit old fashioned. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is okay in the restaurant and the breakfast is excellent. Unfortunately upstairs goes from old fashioned to tatty, with threadbare carpets and chipped paint. Despite booking months in advance we got the notorious Room 14 which is definitely not okay. It's over the kitchen where the fans are very noisy and make the whole room vibrate. We had a view of a scruffy void area through a dirty window with filthy net curtains that looked like they had been up for decades. The bath is chipped, the shower barely adequate and the cover fell off the light over the mirror. Guests have been complaing about this room for years and the owners have done nothing. They should be ashamed charging £97 for this squalid little space. We won't be returning.
