Spent a single night here. Check in very efficient (didn't have to go through that very annoying habit of giving the hotel all the information you had previously supplied with the booking). Room clean and perfectly adequate. My only real complaints were a series of niggling minor things that, if resolved, could make this hotel very good indeed. I think... more

Having dined in the hotel before we decided to use it as a base to meet friends for dinner. On arriving our room was quite simply freezing cold and staff had only turned on one radiator. Even with the rest of them going full blast we had to plug in two electric heaters that were already in the cupboard to... more

We had high expectations of our stay here based on the Hotel's website and other things we had read about the place. However our experience seemed to not live up to this. It's difficult to put my finger on excatly the issue. The food was very tasty but was not the gourmet food we had expected. The cooked breakfast was... more

What a great hotel, quaint and charming, but fully modern. Had a large room that was beautifully decorated. Unfortnately we discovered that we had lost our passports while we were there, and the staff did all they could to help us out. Oh, and the food was great too! more

Needed somewhere to stay urgently. Room was excellent, think we got the last room in the hotel, family room, a large room, very clean, nicely set out. Bathroom was a real treat. Breakfast was excellent, cereal, fruit juice, tea/coffee, fry up. Service was a bit slow, and extra coffee had to be requested every time you wanted a refil, eventually... more

We stayed for 4 nights this august with a four year old, and thoroughly enjoyes ourselves! The family room, had two double beds,and a flat screen tv. The ensuite was a little dated-avacado suite-but very clean. The coffee and tea making facilities were good, on our first day there was a plate of shortbread, and a supply of coffee tea... more

Recently spent 2 nights at The Black Bull in Lauder. What a find! Great value at £70 for a double room, good location, excellent food both at breakfast and in the evening and really friendly and helpful staff. Our room was lovely, with a large ensuite shower room and was very clean. Can't ask for any more, and can't think... more

What a difference 4 years makes. Here in this wee border town on the edge of the Scottish Borders you'll find a real hands on husband and wife team keen to please. I was in a twin room room 1. Good sized bathroom all the amenities you'd expect tea coffee etc. Real ales on tap, great food cooked by mamma... more
