Bit of a hidden gem this time of year. Great food options for both breakfast and dinner. Beautiful location and great staff. Accommodation is simple but more tham adequate.
We really y enjoyed our obey night stopover on the way home from a great holiday in Shetland. The room was very comfortable (would have preferred a double but only twin available when we booked). Very nice bar & the food in the restaurant was oustanding both dinner & breakfast. Slightly odd that the pub was virtually empty on a Friday night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
A very pleasant stay in a beautiful area. The evening meal quality was adequate. I was disappointed that for accommodation at this price level did not include breakfast. I obviously missed the small print!
It was a first for us to stay in a country inn that is also dog friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful and the people who work there are lovely. The property is clean and the bedroom we stayed in is a decent size. The food is delicious and hearty. We will definitely be visiting again.
Room was clean and comfortable but tea making facilities left a lot to be desired. Bathroom could have had more hooks and shelves as clothes had to go on floor. First two evening meals were good but the last was bad. My friend's meal made her retch and she couldn't continue eating, which they didn't seem to care about, and the waitress rushed us out. Very bad attitude from staff on last day.
The room was basic but spotlessly clean. Unfortunately the cold tap did not work however there was bottled water in the room, there was no soap provided and only one toilet roll. The towels and bedding were so soft and clean and the beds very comfortable. Fabulous meal in the restaurant and such attentive and friendly staff.
The older couple who ran the pub were pretty ignorant and quite rude as in breaking up ice right in front of my partners face whilst at the bar and then shrugging shoulders when asked what shots do u serve, our room was number 9 and the corridor leading up to the room stunk of dogs, the dogs barked most of the night and early morning, nice little pub but dogs have to go and bar staff need to be a bit more welcoming
The Horse and Hound is a good example of a British country inn. Very welcoming and friendly staff and customers. Lively bar area that was enjoyable. We had a very good evening meal and breakfast. Our bedroom was clean and fairly comfortable. There was not a lot of space to hang clothes or put into drawers. It was perfectly adquate for our 2 night stay, but not sure if it would have been as good for a longer stay.
I wanted a quiet place away from towns and citys this Inn was just what i required base camp to explore the local areas staff very friendly food excellent definitely would stay again i had my car for transport i wouldn't recommend this lovely Inn without you having some mode of transport no local shop either so get your supplies before staying overđ
We had originally booked a hotel in Hawick town centre but that was cancelled at short notice.
Expedia organised this hotel for us and we were glad they did.
We were going to a wedding at Branxholm so were at bit concerned that the H&H was a bit out of the way.
It didn't end up being an issue and having spoken to other guests at the wedding who had booked stays in the town centre they described their accommodation variously from awful to absolute nightmare.
So for anyone attending a wedding at Branxholm you should consider staying here if you need a room.
Bonchester Bridge is a really nice quiet village also.
