    The property was great. We had quite a few stairs to climb, but the owner carried all the bags up for us. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was clean and fresh. And breakfast was fab.

    We were very last minute in booking somewhere as only knew we needed to be in neighbouring Jedburgh 4 days prior... therefore price was great. The room was amazing. It was a top floor room with its own little entranceway. Left was the bathroom...
