Stayed in The Cottage. This was well equjpped with more gadgets than we needed. Plenty of space. Generous with TV's. Food and service in the hotel was friendly, helpful and available at all times. For visitors with an animal The Cottage is ideal. Very handy local footpaths for walking.

Myself and my mum went to The Wheatsheaf for the first time (though Border locals!) on Easter Sunday for a roast. It was such a lovely, cosy environment with an old-school feel and the food really was fantastic, can’t fault it. We each had a lovely, perfectly sized starter and the main meal was a really decent portion. We didn’t have a dessert but they looked lovely! I think the menu was an Easter special so I’m not sure what their usual roast choices are, but there were ample choices on the menu we had. Service was great, very smart, polite waiters. Highly recommend!

The food was excellent and really exceeded our expectations. The staff is fantastic, very professional and fast wirh their service. The rooms are spacious and very clean. We stayed for one night on the way north and it was a gorgeous place to stop.

We booked into the restaurant for our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! The food and service were superb within excellent menu! Did find the portions were quite large but so well prepared, cooked and presented. A nice touch was the sample of homemade bread.

Didn't stay in hotel but had a lovely dinner while staying a week in Leitholm. Smart comfortable dining room, food and service very good, although very busy and can understand why! Enjoyed the excellent sea bream and good choice menu. Would return if in this area again.

Enjoyed a delicious 'pie and a pint' meal at this cosy place. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The steak and ale pie was the BEST EVER with filling and pastry to die for. My husband very much enjoyed his fish pie too, full of scrumptious cod and salmon with mashed potato. Thanks again, we'd love to revisit again when we're in the area! 👍

Well the most important thing to me on this trip was that the hotel was free f friendly and it certainly was. Jo couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Restaurant was lovely. Great food. Great breakfast. Room was ok. Had everything I needed. £15 a dog is bit steep if I’m honest. The going and myself would 100% stay again. Thank you Jo and the team.

Booked here because other accommodation wasn’t available. So glad we did. A true gem of a place and standard of accommodation and food was amazing. Michael and his staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

Stayed here after a recommendation from a friend. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who is a lovely chap and a delight to chat to. The room we had was bright, clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant one evening and I have to say the food was top class. The breakfast on both days was delicious with plenty on the menu to suit everybody’s tastes, not just ours. The whole place is clean, well kept and bright. All the staff are great and all are cheerful and lovely to deal with. All in all, we couldn’t fault a single thing and we look forward to returning here again in the future. Many thanks for a wonderful stay.
