We stayed for a couple of nights on a trip to visit family in Berwick and Dundee. This place was perfect for us. Great location. Clean, warm room and very comfortable bed. They accommodated us for early check in and late check out. The festive breakfast hamper was a lovely touch.

Dined here for Sunday lunch as a family of 3. My mum and husband had the fish and I had the roast chicken. Fish absolutely delicious and a huge portion. Roast dinner was absolutely gorgeous, gravy to die for. Followed our main courses with sticky toffee pudding.....absolutely gorgeous. Staff very attentive couldn't do enough for you. Would highly recommend

Coffee ,scones and fruitcake,very reasonable. This place was a little gem right in the middle of Berwick, and dog friendly. Young server advised us about the lovely Spittal walk. I believe there was a couple of letting rooms to. . Certainly worth a stop.

My second time staying at this hotel. Room was huge with modern bathroom and super comfy bed and linens. Sunday roast was fabulous and breakfast every day was awesome. 5 star to the staff. So helpful, friendly and could do enough for us. Will be back for sure.

We stayed here for a few nights at the end of October. It was lovely, breakfast goodies delivered to your room each morning with fresh towels. The location was fantastic with various places to go at night time for something to eat. Thank you for a lovely stay.
