The Capon Tree Town House in Scottish Borders

I booked a Deluxe Junior Suite for 4 adults. On the positive side, the suite was clean throughout, including the rooms and bathroom, and the shower pressure was great. The late check-in process went smoothly, and all staff were friendly. However, despite these positives, I wouldn't recommend staying here. The bedding wasn't set up for 4 adults, even though there were a few hours between booking and check-in. The included breakfast was disappointing—it consisted of a croissant, cheese, milk, and juice left in the fridge, with no mention that it was a cold continental breakfast. Lastly, two of our group had a terrible night's sleep because the sofa bed had broken springs and offered no support, sofa bed seemed broken overall.

Lovely friendly restaurant and bar. Food really good and staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. If we had known about this place we would have booked our overnight stay here.

We had a warm welcome from Alistair after a long drive. The family suite was exactly what we needed - a little apartment with enough space for everyone. The breakfast table was all set up for us like a restaurant and everything ready for breakfast in the fridge. We had dinner in the restaurant and this was exceptional. The salmon tagliatelle was delicious and the mussels were the best we’ve ever eaten with an amazing liquor. Thank you to the chef! The children were incredibly well looked after by the staff which meant we could relax too. All round excellent stay.

What happened to this place? Sells itself with fresh Scottish ingredients and 2AA Rosette cuisine - so how come our meal consisted of store bought pate, dry fish cakes with bottled sweet chilli sauce? Only meat dish on the menu was chicken salad and fish cakes the only fish? An embarrassment since we had suggested the restaurant to a US friend who wanted to experience local foods and treat us as an ‘occasion’. An expensive disappointment. Such a pity, used to be good.

We have eaten at the Capon Tree a few times in the past and the meal this evening was really not good. There is very little variance in the choices on the menu which seem to be the same regardless of the season. The whole meal lacked skill and had the feel that the chef was just going through the motions. We have always been suspicious of florid descriptions of dishes which rarely meet the reality of the food put in front of you, and this meal was no exception. Hopefully things will improve

We had a three course meal here with friends. The starter (scallops) and mains (smoked fish cakes) were fine but the desserts (panna cotta-were miniscule, and the lemon meringue was virtually inedible) were disappointing, Very few people in the restaurant and over priced. Menu not as extensive as on the website. Had the feeling it is overrated or not as good as it has been from previous reviews

Stayed over night in the Oak room. Room Ok however very dim lighting and the two chairs were so low they would suit toddlers rather than adults. The bathroom was nice and clean however the light above the sink did not work. Only one dressing gown so bit odd given it was a double room. I eventually found a plug to charge my phone. It was being the bedhead so i had to climb on the bed and reach down to the floor through the slats to get plugged in. It was nice to have a balcony to sit on and enjoy the view. The bed was comfy and the room was nice and warm. The breakfast was already in the fridge when we arrived plated up and covered in cling film so the croissants were cold and a bit stale by the next day. There was also a oat cake each which did not fare well in the fridge either. We did get woke up a few times as the fridge at the ens of the bed kept juddering. The place is well placed at the end of the high street and we got parked easily enough. Check out was in the form of just leaving the key in the room door so felt very self-service/un-personal. Apart from being shown to our room we never saw anyone.

Bed and breakfast and evening meal booked. Huge disappointment in breakfast and evening meal. Breakfast of croissant (cold and waxy) oatcake (soft) cheese, jam and 1 small portion of butter each left in fridge overnight with Cereal, yoghurt and juices. Website sample dinner menu bears no resemblance to the menu offered which was overpriced. Not a meat dish available. And certainly not reflecting 2AA rosettes as shown on their website.

Perfect as usual and so lucky to be able to get a table at short notice. This place is excellent in every respect. Faultless and such wonderful food and drinks. Thanks.

Great stay while doing the St Cuthberts long distance walk. Room very good. The place is done as a boutique small hotel which is really swish. Very friendly helpful bar staff. One thing to note relates to the town, Jedburgh, we were there on a monday and almost everything was closed at night or shut early. Be prepared it could be hard to find somewhere to sit down to eat. We ended up going to a chippy and sitting outside on a bench. One pub was open and they were nice and had a fiddle band on. The town seems to be suffering the same way many towns in the UK are in the North, with empty shops and limited hours which is a pity because the architecture is pretty and the people friendly.

Huge thank you for the vouchers for our raffle at the spar Jedburgh for our fundraiser for the great daffodil appeal very kind so nice our local business to help a huge thank u Alistair

We selected this venue as the website showed extensive restaurant food and a lively bar. However, we were disappointed on both fronts. After being requested to pay for our room up front, we were then informed neither the restaurant not bar were available for our use as both were booked for private functions. We then thought well that's OK, we can experience the restaurant for breakfast, only to be reminded it was closed and breakfast was in a fridge in our room. On top of this, to add insult to injury we were told we had to check out by 9:00am. Although the room was well appointed, I couldn't sleep due to the fridge at the bottom of the bed, constantly starting up/shutting down. On checking out we expected to be able to hand over the keys to someone but the bar and restaurant areas were locked and no-one was available. Had we been informed earlier that the restaurant and bar were not available, we could have probably would have looked elsewhere. In my opinion, the Capon Tree should stick to the bar and restaurant, i.e. what they appear to do best. Running accommodation is not a strong point and we were left feeling like second-class guests.

My wife and I were here on Saturday night, absolutely fantastic meal, great value for money, and great festive atmosphere, well done team Capon Tree.

One of the better dinners we had along the Borders Abbey Way hike. Thai curry was spicy; warm superfood salad was excellent. Fried calamari appetizer was unfortunately too sauced. Other than that, a great evening!

Absolutely perfect dinner . The new menu is wonderful and such amazing value for money. Well done ✅. Thoroughly recommend 👌

Booked here as a stopover as we made our way to Edinburgh. Well, what a highlight - the bar, accommodation and restaurant were all superb. Can’t recommend the food here enough, it was sublime - the fish pie 😍. Many thanks.

What a great venue for Jedburgh, but there are significant changes that need to be addressed if this place is to remain open. I'm a Jedburgh exile who has dined in many placed across the globe, and have a modicum of experience of what works and what does not. I was in Jedburgh for a family funeral, and met up in the Capon Tree for a drink the night before, five of us for drinks and wine, and asked if we could have a bar meal or perhaps some light bites? A reasonable request you might think on a Wed evening at 7pm, but no there is nothing available, the front of house lady checked with the chef, the kitchen is closed, and we have nothing in the bar?? I estimate we would have spent circa £150 on bar food and wine if availble, but it would appear the chef does not see this loss of revenue? Okay, we move onto the Thurs evening after the funeral, I have pre-booked a table in the retaurant at 18.30, we are the only x 5 diners in the restaurant, which does not auguar well for a Thursday night. I ask if we could have some pre-dinner nibbles i.e. some bread, olive oil to dip and perhaps some Olives? The lady looks quizzically at me, says she will check with the chef, and comes back sheepishly to inform me there is only enough bread which forms part of one of the mian courses (mussels), so insufficent for us? Okay, what about some olives, nope sorry we have none?? Geez, this aint good, but anyway we order our mian courses c/w two bottles of wine, and found the food was of a very good standard. We then retire to the bar where we meet up with the remaining family, now there is ten, therefore much reminiscing and drinks all round, but still no snacks availble for the other five hungry mourners :( What really struck us, was the sight of the chef and staff in the bar vaping, while we sat with our drinks, this is at 8pm and we are the only people in the bar? Just not good enough, between us +£400 was spent over the weekend, accomadation food & wine. It's unlikely we will return until the owners really look at how this establishment is managed.

A little gem. Friendly accommodating staff, excellent menu, perfectly cooked. we had a table in the restaurant but the bar was friendly with a good atmosphere.

Three of us stayed overnight here in two rooms and also ate in the restaurant. I've reviewed the accommodation separately. First of all, I think some of the reviews on here are a little harsh. At the end of the day this is a business doing its best to provide a decent service and turn a profit which I don't think can be easy to pull off in the current climate, so perhaps we need to cut them a little slack if everything is not perfect. Anyway, to my own review... We had a drink in the bar first. Table service, decent selection of cocktails. After a short while we were invited to take our seats in the restaurant. The menu was quite short and there was quite a heavy emphasis on fish an seafood which was fine for me as I love fish but committed carnivores might find their choice a bit more limited. It was also arguably a little carby, with two pasta dishes and risotto on the mains, but these are minor points. I had the hot smoked salmon salad to start, which was very nice, followed by the ravioli, which I really enjoyed. Served nice and hot, the flavours were good and there was just the right amount. To finish I had the passion fruit tart which the waiter said was new on the menu. It was tasty, though for me a little on the sweet side and I would have preferred the pastry to be a little thinner. Overall, however, I would say the food was decent for the price. There was a short wine list - I guess this is another way of keeping costs down. However, even from the short list it was perfectly possible to get an acceptable bottle and we shared a nice Picpul de Pinet. The wines were reasonably priced. Service was polite and efficient from the two waiting staff. We found the music a little on the loud side. Overall, a good, though perhaps not outstanding food experience and despite my minor niggles I would return if back in Jedburgh.

Lovely stay last night, great location for exploring the area. Little Boutique style hotel. Room was lovely and spotlessly clean. Bed comfortable with crisp white linen and breakfast was a free continental which we liked consisting of granola, cornflakes, yogurt, croissants, bread, ham, two types of cheese, butter,honey and lovely chutney, milk and fresh juice. What more do you want? Only tiny negative was that the towels were very rough, but otherwise we had a perfect stay. Thankyou Capon Tree Townhouse

Hade en fantastisk upplevelse på detta ställe. Vi bodde här och åt här. Rummet var väldigt charmigt. Maten i restaurangen var helt magisk. Hustrun valde risotton och det var en av de bästa hon ätit. Jag valde pasta och den var magiskt god. En riktig pärla i en liten mysig skotsk stad.

Just eaten this evening. A small but quality menu at really good value prices. Service/ front of house was spot on and they have a good cocktail menu. Overall a good experience, great value for a quality experience. I would totally recommend this.

Very nice food. Delightful staff. Just as we had hoped. BUT the potentially lovely ambience of the dining area was shattered by a very overpowering muzak which comprised of horrible screechy vocals and thumping beats. Why on earth would anyone impose that on the clientele who are enjoying an evening's fine dining? We did ask for it to be turned down a bit but sadly that did not appear to happen. We, like most of the diners, were oldies. A pity. It ruined what would have been a great evening.

With the only other resteraunt closed at 7 we walked here hoping for a table, we weren’t dressed too smartly shorts, trail shoes but it didn’t matter and what a great stroke of luck. We were greeted with a smile shown to our table and fed some fantastic food. I had calamari and sea for linguine the boss had Halloumi and Superfood salad, all four players were top class 👌🏻 Bellhaven beer was kept well adv the price was reasonable. Highly recommended 👍🏻

Stayed for one night. Lovely hotel, beautifully decorated and lovely little bar. Didn’t eat ther as we were going to Proclaimers concert in Kelso. Room spotlessly clean and comfortable. No complaints about breakfast, yes more like a continental breakfast but adequate, we’re not big eaters in the morning. Thanks to the very friendly woman working there, didn’t catch her name. Will definitely return.

went for dinner on 14th June Lovely Meal excellent staff most enjoyable experience from start to finish

I would give a good rating but only because the service was excellent but not for the food which was average. We were staying a few miles from Jedburgh and couldn't find a taxi firm so we phoned the restaurant and they very kindly found...

This review is for the hotel (not the restaurant) 1. Don’t bother greeting your guests and making them feel welcome on arrival. Instead ask for payment up front (card or cash?) 2. Instead of conventional sit-down breakfast at the restaurant, give them some pastries wrapped...

For an establishment that prides itself on good food the ‘breakfast’ already in our room when we arrived of day-old cold croissant and bread covered in cling film was an embarrassment. Cold meat was available in the fridge - I am a vegetarian! No enquiry...

Staff were attentive, friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent, so good we eat there for 2 nights. So cannot fault.

Overnight stay in Jedburgh, this was a good find indeed. Menu is exciting and the food is fabulous, well worth a visit for some of the best cuisine in the area

Nice friendly atmosphere good food friendly staff good draught beers we went on a sour off the moment thing while visiting friends well worth a visit

Fate led me to staying over in loveley Jedbrough, The quaint Spread Eagle Hotel made a good choice, but no food.The nearest nice looking Indian restaurant was full, so I had to wander on to the end of the street, The Capon TreeLooked like it would be ok, One inside a chic smart busy place greeted me. efficient relaxed young staff looked after me ( No Booking Sir?) though quite full they showed me to a small table and the menu arrived.Main course for me was the vennison, with the rich shalot gravy, superb! good wine, nice time and realy good food, warmly reccommended by me to anybody staying in the area, well worth a visit.

We recently stayed at The Capon Tree Town House on our trip to the UK. We were fortunate to come across this beautiful B&B run by Alisdair and Ashley who have lovingly restored a dilapidated building into a warm and cosy B&B, bar and restaurant. It was easy to find and we received a warm welcome on arrival. The bed was comfortable and entire room was lovely and clean and we didn’t want for anything. Parking on the street was plentiful and even though it is right in the centre of town it was lovely and quiet. Sadly the restaurant was closed on Monday evening so we couldn’t dine in, but the breakfast cooked by Alisdair was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Capon Tree Town House if you are looking for accommodation in Jedburgh.

Excellent customer service perfect for a stopover will definitely be back good food and easy parking outside or within a minutes walk at rear of building

Had the most delicious meal at The Capon Tree. Pigeon for starters and venison for mains. The presentation of the food was amazing and the perfectly designed mix of tastes for each course was just awesome. For dessert the espresso creme brulee was truly delightful. All accompanied by one of the best rose wines I've had. Sertvice was also excellent. A superb dining experience.

We went to dine here for a special occasion. The restaurant is nicely decorated - carpet and tablecloths so it wasn't noisy.Polite, friendly staff and gentle piano music. However this is for people who like fine dining as although the food is perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, there isn't much of it. I see from the on-line menu that my salmon dish should have had a fishcake as well as samphire and fennel - it didn't. Not for me - I like to go home feeling pleasantly full!

Visited with my wife Saturday 7th September for a belated anniversary meal. The food was simply stunning and the service was fantastic too, as always.

We stayed here overnight in July and have already booked again this month. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this boutique hotel, it's staff or the food they serve. Every member of staff is customer focused, friendly and approachable. Our room was beautiful, restful and sparkling clean. Dinner was superb: lovely choices on the menu, beautifully cooked and presented on gorgeous crockery. Breakfast too was excellent. We can't wait to stay here again!

Did not expect to find a restaurant as good as this in a small town. Food choices were fresh and innovative using local produce. The staff were charming. Wished I had gone the next night as well . The caddy shack voted no 1 in jedburgh did not come even close.Will definitely go again next time in the area.

Ashley the owner was very welcoming and the room we stayed in was spacious, well furnished and comfortable with a lovely outlook.

Not my first visit and this time had five friends with me. We all enjoyed our tasty and beautifully presented meals and were well looked after. The owners and staff try very hard, a shame the dining room was so quiet because the food is excellent.

The Capon Tree has a justifiable reputation for an excellent meal and you will noit be disappointed. An excellent menu serving a variety of both local and british cuisine. Service and atmosphere is outstanding. Good selection of wines to accompany your meal with knowledgeable staff to help you enjoy your evening. Remember to book.

Dined here on Friday evening. The bar area was very swish and comfortable . The service was excellent. We went through to the dining room which was a bit of a let down, rather dated and not at all in keeping with the bar. We sat next to the back door which kept draughtily blowing open to give a view of staffs outdoor footwear! However again the service was great and the food superb, the venison was probably the best I have ever had! The thing that has actually made me deduct a star however was the awful 'Musac' which played the same few repetitive notes too loudly throughout the meal, I actually left without a pudding because it was going to give me a headache and I could no longer carry on a coherent conversation over it! However it was certainly good enough to warrant a return visit- just hope their sound system is broken!

We visited last night for our sons 18th birthday .on arrival we recieved a very warm welcome ,enjoyed a drink in the bar before going to our table. The sevice was very proffessional but relaxed allowing you to enjoy the experience rather than just cram the food down .The space between courses was also noticed and makes a massive difference to the whole experience .The food ....absolutly stunning .The attention to detail is superb and the marriage of flavours within the dish devine .Our niece lives in Fakkirk and was texting her mum suggesting they come down to visit so they could have a meal at the Capon Tree. The whole experience from start to finish was truly excellent. We will without doubt visit again .Thankyou AListair ,Ashley and team

Stopped in here for a much needed drink. A good range of ales and lager on offer. I had a Glasgow lager which was very refreshing. The bar is tastefully decorated and has a welcoming atmosphere.

Tasty evening meal in pleasant restaurant. Staff very friendly. Would certainly return. Recommended.

My wife and I had an excellent meal here. I had the scallops to start and the duck as a main - both were very good. Service also very good. One minor complaint was the price of the wine. They are encouraging you to buy by the glass and recommend a wine with each dish which is fair enough but the prices by the bottle just seemed a little too steep. Still it's your choice whether you buy or not and we did but I noticed other customers not having wine with their meal which seems a shame. It was however a lovely meal and I would recommend it if you are in the area.

I have eaten dinner and breakfast here as well as just visit for cocktails. Everything is extremely good and the service is outstanding. My wife and two daughter's all said that it was the best example of the cocktail they had ever tasted (one was a pornstar martini). They make an excellent Gin cocktail with the local Kerr's Gin that is very refreshing. The dinner menu is fantastic with plenty of options making it a hard choice for each course. I had the crab starter and the Beef man course and both were beautifully presented and delicious. We were staying in a nearby Air Bnb and they even took a booking from our party of 7 for breakfast. This didn't disappoint either and compared to many hotel breakfasts I have experienced was much more freshly produced and extremely good value. All round, probably my favourite dining and cocktail venue in the Borders!

Absolutely delicious food, brilliant menu choice and beautifully presented dishes, along with great service. Will definitely be back!

Superb restaurant. Had the venison with celeriac puree, haggis croquette and other goodies. Honestly if I had not had a strict upbringing I could have licked the plate, it was that delicious. Service was outstanding. Not a noisy place, you can hear your dining companions easily. Would go back in a heartbeat.

My husband and I visited the capon tree a few days ago for dinner. Overall we had an incredible experience. First of all the service was excellent. Polite, helpful and not intrusive at all. The food looked and tasted beautiful, so much so that we couldn't stop and had a full three course meal! The wine selection was also excellent and easier to appreciate when guided by the outstanding and lovely in-house sommelier.

Having chosen Capon tree town house just for a one-night-accomodation on our way south, we were surprised and overwhelmed by the restaurant: Imagination, knowhow and taste, from starter to dessert, served with style - and a wine-list full of wisely selected bottles mainly from Europe, some off the beaten track. Wine-enthusiasts will appreciate the comfortable rooms.

Two night stay May 20-22. Had a drink and a meal at The Capon Tree after a great day of walking on St Cuthbert’s Way from Dryburgh. It is evident that the team who own and run this small hotel take pride in their property. Hotel is easily found ~2.5km from the trail, and we were welcomed for an extraordinary gin drink - The Capon Tree (bar/restaurant) serves great local gins and has friendly and knowledgeable staff! Outstanding service from Ashley; food was impeccably prepared - scallops, halloumi, and salmon on the menu were super - lots of local ingredients throughout the menu. This place is a current and future award winner!

This was a hidden gem on our trip. Lovely spacious room, recommend “Ash” and an excellent meal in the newly refurbished restaurant. Locals have obviously discovered this place as it was buzzing, despite being a mid week night. Good value too, and good choice of gins!

This is a great place to eat in. I had a superb French onion soup with warm home made bread. The venison main course was tender, succulent and divine. This is modern Scottish food at its best. It offers great food at competitive prices. Service was professional and customer focused. Can I please get to eat here again?

Vandaag en gisteren lekker gegeten. Vriendelijk . Lekkere cocktail. 16oz sirloin steak is aan te raden. Maar ook de zalm. De coquilles.

From start to finish, one can only describe this restaurant as exceptional. Arriving on spec as a party of five, we were quickly and readily seated. Drinks service was prompt and friendly. The menu was satisfyingly restricted but with adequate choice.

Truly excellent meal, great friendly service. Scallops and venison: perfect. Should be far more famous!!

We stayed for two nights for my husband’s birthday and had a fabulous experience from start to finish. The room was beautiful: light, airy and spacious. Great atmosphere in the bar. The restaurant was to die for! We ended up eating there both nights of our stay because we knew there was no way we could surpass what we ate. They served fresh local produce presented and plated beautifully, but not skimping on portions and with perfect wine pairings and a knowledgable sommelier. This all sounds very pricey; it was so reasonable for the quality of the experience. Every member of staff we came across couldn’t do enough to be of service. A totally top notch stay - we will be back.

My husband and I visited this restaurant for a birthday meal and were certainly not disappointed. A warm and friendly welcome, knowledgeable staff, varied menu and great atmosphere. The bar area is gorgeous like an upmarket wine bar, the dining room is like being led to a private members area. I am a vegan and was given a choice of options from the main menu adapted to meet my needs, very few establishments are able to offer such a personalised service and it is the first time in years that I have enjoyed a full 3 course meal - the pink Prosecco sorbet and frozen berries was the most delicious dessert I I’ve ever had - all the food was delicious, exquisite even with a delicate blend of flavours that complemented each other perfectly. We will definitely be recommending The Capon Tree to others and of course will visit again on the next special occasion. Excellent value for money as well, couldn’t have had a better night out, loved this place.

We visited on a chilly April evening but soon warmed up in the cosy ambience and were knocked out by the standard of food. Venison with haggis croquette, poached pear and lots of other delicate little flavours all married perfectly and we nearly ended up in a drooling heap after the fig and frangipane tart Although the meal was not cheap it was much less expensive than you’d pay for something of this standard in a city and was excellent value for money. Service was both friendly and efficient. A gem!
