The outside of the hotel is very beautiful and inside, the hotel is being refurbished. I stayed in a family room which we got at a reduced price because the room was quite outdated and due to be refurbished. The room was large and had a very comfy bed. The room had a great layout; the two single beds were further down the room and were separated by a curtain giving more privacy. Our deal included breakfast and I enjoyed the choice; fry-ups, toast, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and pastries. Unfortunately the croissants I had were warm on the outside and a tad soggy in the middle. Breakfast was good but the quality wasn't amazing. At night, you could buy a drink at the bar and sit beside the cosy fire on comfy sofas and chairs which made the hotel a winner in my eyes as I hate being stuck in a hotel room all night. Gin lovers will be happy to know that they have a huge list of gins - there's a little greenhouse in the bar area where they show all the gins they have on offer. Outside the hotel, they had chickens and a bee hive as well as an outdoor giant chess board and small golf area. In the hotel, they have a kids play group and you can hire bikes. If the quality of breakfast had been better, I would've given it 5 stars.

There are 2 different eating styles, either bar food in the Courtyard Bar, or a la carte in the restaurant. The bar food is good, although the setting is a bit 'ordinary' compared to the rest of the hotel. Usual bar meals - fish and chips, steak pie, roast dinners, salmon etc, all freshly cooked and served by friendly and helpful bar staff. They have a good selection of malts.

Peaceful, relaxing and endulgent!…read more Anita A. and I went there to retrieve the benefits of a Spa and afternoon tea voucher and were not disappointed. The hotel is hidden away in the hills of the Scottish Lowlands. It is amazingly quiet there. You will see cows, dogs and rabbits and much more. It was the perfect summers day afternoon strolling around the grassland and woodland area until we finally were ready for our afternoon tea in the backyard whilst sunbathing. About the afternoon tea...... It was ok. Not much on the trier plates but plenty to leave with a happy face and full belly. Or was it the bubblies that came along with the cakes and egg/tuna sandwiches? The scones were excellent. They did not fall apart. I found them soft and juicy. They offered tea or coffee with the afternoon tea and on this occasion we got clotted cream, strawberry and raspberry jam. The service was slow on the off take. Tea came fast, but the sandwiches took half an hour. Still, it was worth the wait. The weather was so nice that we missed out on the spa facilities. Why would you want to ensure inside on a sunny day like this? Anyway, next time...... The hotel seems quite popular. Lots of guests arriving. No wonder, as the location and the hotel surroundings are perfect, if you plan to hide away from the world.......

The reception is clean and tidy, the lady on reception over my stay was very friendly and helpful, she actually showed an interest in my reasons for my stay. There is a vending machine within the hotel if you get peckish or thirsty. Each room is well equiped with tea and coffee making facilities and TV's. There is ample parking outside and the hotel is next to the Solway Gate which is fantastic. This is an excellent priced hotel where kids stay free. The only downside is the hotel does not offer air-conditioning.

It is on the outskirts of Biggar and is a nice place to drop into if you are out and about. It looks like a small castle when you are approaching it as it has a turret of the front of it and has extensive gardens to walk in if you are staying. There are 2 restaurants to choose from, a formal dining room and a more relaxed area for families. They also cater for small private functions. The staff are helpful and friendly and the hotel itself is spotlessly clean. It has a traditional but welcoming atmoshphere. There is ample parking available and can be easily accessed by diabled patrons.

Our room had a huge bathroom with free standing roll top bath and a walk in shower with dinner plate sized shower head. Anyway - the meal, was just amazing. The chef specialises in freshly cooked local produce. I had smoked salmon for starter - very simply presented and tasted just great. My main was chicken breast with wild muchrooms and dessert was a pineapple carpaccio with home made vanilla icecream. Was all wonderful. Best thing though was the steak that my husband ordered - has to have been the best steak I have ever tasted. Restaurant is small and cosy and you move through into the lounge for coffee and petit four. The lodge is set on the edge of Walkerburn, near Peebles - wonderful views out across the tweed valley. I would recommend this place to anyone. Dinner, B+B starts at £210 for 2 people - I think it is well worth it.
