Hotel berhampiran Gala Policies, Galashiels

We took a squad of 30 kids on their first cross border rugby tour and Kailee and the team were outstanding. We booked out the hotel for 60 people between adults and kids and nothing was a bother. The hotel provided a set menu for lunch and dinner which was very tasty. Kailee also organised a silent disco which went down an absolute treat for not just the kids but also the parents. The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff were polite, courteous and helpful. The hotel is an ideal choice if you are visiting Melrose or playing at Melrose RFC with ample parking facilities at the rear of the hotel. Great hotel with exceptional staff. Our U8s squad loved tucking into a full Scottish breakie with haggis before their all important fixture. Hope to be back.

Hotels was great service was fab and food in restaurant great. Only thing missing is a jacuzzi in the spa. Our trip was spoilt by the reception charging us twice for our accommodation. Already paid via trip.com and then got home to discover the hotel had also charged directly. Despite informing Hotel of this error on day of departure, a week later and multiple tel call we still haven’t the money returned to our account. As a result we will not be returning as very poor post trip customer care!

This was the perfect stay for myself and my husband. Although the b&b is on a farm, it's easy to spot where to go from the sign on the main road. The building itself is so beautiful and Sheila and Peter couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them - they clearly love what they do. They have two little dogs, which I was a bit worried about as I'm a bit nervous but the dogs are small, friendly and no bother. The room itself was spacious, clean and homely, exactly as advertised, with a lovely view of the garden. We had an adjoining bathroom which was also very clean and modern. The b&b was a quiet and relaxing place for a stay, where we were free to come and go as we pleased for our weekend break. I think my favourite part of the stay was the breakfast though, it was delicious. there was a good selection of cereals/juices for us to help ourselves to whilst the cooked breakfast was being prepared. The breakfast room was also really beautiful and homely, with a lovely view of the grounds too. Honestly, I couldn't fault our stay at all and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing stay somewhere beautiful.

My husband and I recently stayed for an overnight at Cringletie as one leg of a 10 leg trip in Scotland. We also stayed for a night last year in August, near the end of a trip through the UK, Wales, and Scotland. We continue to be pleased with our experience at Cringletie. We've stayed at many other refined establishments in GB and feel fairly well versed in identifying special qualities at those places and we must say that Cringletie was exceptional among them. I think it's important to praise what is done well, so here we go: Cringletie is very clean throughout. Thank you. It's difficult to feel luxurious when there are splotches, stains, crumbs, huge marks on the walls, etc. Not only are the rooms clean at Cringletie, but the whole estate is well cared for and guests absolutely do notice that. Mr. Cross was the only owner/manager to have a presence and attempt any communication with guests at the many hotels we've stayed at. Beyond a lovely handwritten note (a fantastic touch) in the room, he also came to speak to us during dinner and greeted us on a morning walk on the lawns...even greeting my husband by name. The little things: no other house supplied homemade yummies in the room; it was only packaged store shortbreads. Having a fan in the room was also super important, thank you...especially during summer heat. The rooms had bottles of sparkling and still water and accoutrements for tea/coffee and some other treats. The woman at the front desk who helped wrap up our artwork purchase was very lovely and personable. She was funny and welcoming. Thank you to her - and sorry we bought the sheep art you loved so much! The dinner staff maintains the decorum one expects of the caliber of meal service offered. The young man who handled the bar and portions of our table service was pleasant and you could tell they were all actively taking care to provide refined service. The food was delightful as always. We have yet to finish all courses in the tasting menu (we had to throw in the towel last time, too!) but only because each course was so good that we ate every bite. The food was refined and delicious and, I believe, and was among the very best of every restaurant we dined at, regardless of how many rosettes they boasted. Similarly related to dining: Cringletie was the only place in our 10 leg trip to serve quality toast at breakfast. Every other house offered only bland packaged mass-produced bread. As someone who doesn't enjoy breakfast but who sits for it while on vacation for her husband's sake, something as trivial as toast quality does make an impression and adds to the pile of finer details that have a synergistic impact. The bedding is lovely - comfortable. Room had everything one would need. The artwork sprinkled in the house is great. Not only does it promote and support local artists but it is so much more authentic and aesthetic than looking at countless mass reproduction posters that have been slapped in a frame. We even e

My husband and I have just had a three night stay here and it was wonderful. For starters, Peebles is a wonderful town to stay in and contains everything you need. The hotel was amazing. The staff were always helpful and gave us 100%, even when rushed off their feet. The food was incredible - my husband and I normally go out and try different places when we stay somewhere, but we ate at the hotel every night and were blown away by the food, the Sea Bream was on point! There were some quirks but they were all easily overlooked e.g. slope in shower which meant my husband (6ft) had to crouch a bit to shower, but it wasn't a real problem. Breakfasts were great and we loved that they have a separate area for lunches/cake and teas in the day time. Overall, we LOVED it and felt sad that we weren't there for longer - but we definitely will be back. The Tweed River and Valley were spectacular - just go.
