1536 @ THE CASTLE in Scottish Borders

One of the best places to stay in Scotland, went golfing with the lads, owner is a diamond, Staff brilliant, Sophie is a diamond.

Always great but tonight so slow at delivery,waiting 90 minutes on delivery,only live 8 minute walk away,just work!!

Welcoming hosts and staff, great base to explore the area. Good food and drink offerings, cater well for allergens. Room was homely and comfortable. Would recommend!

Usually happy with everything but this visit was poor. Coffee was barely warm twice. The sitting area at the back was cold with the overhead heater blowing cold air. Not going to rush back. 👎

I had a hugely disappointing stay at Ednam house. It looks like a beautiful building on the website, as do the rooms and the food. The building itself is very pretty from the outside but it needs to be completely gutted and renovated. None of furniture should even be kept - throw everything out and start from zero. Everything was dirty and dusty, the lampshades stained, the shower mouldy, the carpets old and horrible. Black hairs in the room and the carpet clearly not hoovered. The food at the restaurant was so bad we didn’t touch it when it arrived. Do not order the cod dish as it is completely flavourless. We also ordered green beans and the waiter let us know 10 minutes after our other food arrived that “there is a problem with the green beans”. They never arrived which left us wonder what on earth this problem could have been… The staff were not great and often got our orders wrong or forgot things. This place is completely misrepresented online and it would be such a shame for people to use their well earned holidays at such a badly run establishment. They need to start from zero and close this hotel for months to make the fixes it desperately needs. The location and house from the outside are beautiful so all I can say is that it has nothing but potential. I feel truly catfished by this hotel so please think twice before booking
