Recently renovated building with some lovely period features. There was a limited light evening meal choice offered which we were happy with as it saved us walking back into town. The food was freshly prepared to order and worth waiting for. Breakfast was adequate and served to us by friendly staff.

The owner, who checked us in, was abrupt to the point of rudeness and we did not feel welcome at all. We met his wife a little later and she was very chatty and friendly towards us. The shower doors in our room were very flimsy and the washbasin was a tiny hand washing sink which was too small to be useful. We found the rather cheap cutlery uncomfortable to use.

What an amazing little Scottish gem this is. A beautiful country house nestled in the most glorious gardens and decorated to such a high standard throughout that the owners should be rightly very proud of. When booking Accommodation, if you have pets, one of the requirements is that it is ‘dog friendly’ There is a huge difference between being dog ‘tolerant’ and dog ‘friendly’ ….. the Balcary House falls into the latter spades ! This certainly ticks that box in all areas and our dogs were made hugely welcome with rooms specifically assigned as dog friendly….. There was even an enclosed paddock to allow the dogs a good run as well … something not always available Fabulous residents areas with a well stocked bar and wonderful owners who are happy to chat. Breakfast was superb and I thoroughly recommend the porridge😋 . The lodges that are specifically designed to enable dogs to stay with you are spacious, beautifully decorated with a tasteful design everything was spotless clean. Thank you so much for making our trip across the borders so pleasant we will certainly be back

Nothing - it was perfect

Breakfast ..cereals yogurt, cooked…fresh and quality ingredients Breakfast staff lovely..esp Bob! Quiet and peaceful. Liked the bottled water.

Sheet kept coming off mattress during night…was too small. Staff told. Quality of towels and sheets inferior for standard of hotel. No mirror near an electric socket to blow dry hair. Kettle lead doesn’t reach from table to socket. Mirror in bathroom sited over toilet so awkward for husband to shave Nowhere to set toiletries in shower Bedside lights very dim…no good for reading in bed. Did tell owner who said nothing he could do.

Great location. Beautifully decorated. Lovely cooked to order breakfast.

Lack of drawer space in the bedroom. Rooms looked amazing but not very practical for the user. A few drawers would make all the difference. Also in our room the mirror was placed over the toilet rather than the sink so was not practical, had to straddle the toilet to get close to the mirror. Could have benefited from a slightly larger sink too.

Spacious nicely furnished room, big bathroom. Nice sitting area and bar. Good breakfast included. Nice wooded grounds. Plenty of parking.

Quite a long walk from the town centre (but handy for the lovely park just opposite).

Location - cleanliness

No Wi-Fi -no evening meal after 7.00pm

Beautiful grounds and comfy friendly hotel. Great for a relaxed few days away.

Not a massive fan of the breakfasts, but that really is knit picking :-)

Lovely location on a hillside with a beautiful garden & mature trees - a grand old house stylishly decorated

Everything was good!
