Faulty Towers is reborn

Reviewed By Y8397BWsimona

Freezing cold room with inadequate heating that switched off during the night. Paper thin walls meant that my neighbour’s snoring kept me awake. Internet connection that broke every few minutes. No breakfast on offer. A true remnant of the Fawlty Towers tradition of British Guest Houses.

Handy for Southern Upland Way

Reviewed By John H

Very Covid-aware, doing all they could to keep guests Covid-safe and protected. Very friendly welcome. Room a bit basic but had all we needed. Central to Galashiels facilities. We enjoyed exploring the town before resuming the Southern Upland Way.

Best two nights sleep on our road trip

Reviewed By pmcp31

The bed/bedding was so cosy and comfy it was hard to get up in the morning. Breakfast was definitely worth getting up for! We also had a lunch and a dinner during our stay, both of which were excellent. The hotel offers great value for money and we look forward to returning when the weather warms up as there are plenty of activities and beautiful countryside to explore in the surrounding area.

One night stay

Reviewed By BuffyRocks

We stayed for one night in September. The business is due to change hands this month so this review may fall out of date. Pros - A very warm welcome upon arrival. There is on street parking outside. The location is good for local eateries. Really comfortable bed. Cons - There are a lot of stairs up to the house and then more to climb up to the bedroom. The breakfast was basic, we weren't asked what we would like to have in our cooked breakfast and ended up with ingredients we didn't want and others such as beans were missing. We think because the owners are moving on, they have lost the will to make an effort. The decor throughout is old and tired. We would stay again.
