The Lodge in Scottish Borders

The restaurant looked nice and had a nice atmosphere but the service could have been a bit better. The burger was really nice but it did not come with everything advertised on the menu. When asked about the coleslaw they said it did not come...

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 course meal. Good food, well prepared and tasty. Hagis bon bons a real joy.

We stopped in for a drink and just a dessert each. The drinks came quickly but the food was a very long wait. When it did the chef yelled angrily from a distance, staff seemingly obsessed with removing settings not needed, ie where two sit...

I ate with lunch a party of five today. Given that Covid restrictions are still in operation in Scotland, the hygiene is far too relaxed here with dirty reused table-mat menus. Our waitress was very unhappy it seemed; grumbling about a rug and being generally...

Disappointing. Risotto stodgy & overcooked. Batter on Haddock was soggy - not crispy at all. Lot of stodge generally. Large portions but poor quality. Staff were very nice and turned the deafening music down when we asked.

Two days prior to visiting, we telephoned a reservation for 6 people but when we arrived they claimed to have no record of the booking. We did however managed to get seated. The menu was quite extensive both for adults and children. Unfortunately the quality...

After almost giving up hope to get a decent lunch anywhere, we stumbled on this restaurant. Lucky! Pleasant seating outside, good food, friendly and efficient service restored us for the next leg of our journey. Worth making a detour for.

This was our first visit since it changed hands. We loved the old Carfraemill and now love the refurb and new menu!The staff were all efficient and polite. The food was delicious and the service quick. We finished our meal with a Chocolate fudge cake which had loads of sauce and was big enough for us to share.!Thank you for a lovely evening.

Came here for afternoon tea. Big pot of tea which is good. Food was nice but we were served immediately, sandwiches were a wee bit dry. Think it had been made prior to us arriving and had been sitting. Cocktails were nice. No straws tho.

We came here for dinner as we were staying at the campsite next door. The food was lovely, great variety on the menu, the ribeye steaks were well rested and cooked to perfection. Excellent value including wine and gins. The service was friendly and efficient on what was a very busy night for the staff. Liked it so much we went for breakfast the next day too. We will be back.

Our first visit since under new ownership. Quite different but equally good and best not to compare. We loved old Carfraemill but this was an excellent experience. Decor excellent and staff friendly and helpful. The lunch was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you

We managed to get a table at the last minute and on arrival we were greated by very friendly, polite and helpful staff. The service throughout was excellent, the food arrived at the table well presented, piping hot and cooked to a high standard.

Hadn’t visited since it was taken over & was well impressed with the refurb. The place looks great & is very inviting & much more modern. Sadly our welcome wasn’t that inviting & the service throughout our meal was mediocre. No chat from staff & often things brought to the table after a wait & without comment. We weren’t bowled over with the food either. The chicken schnitzels were ‘well cooked’ & served with lukewarm chips. The Caesar salad was ok. At no time did anyone check back to see if our meals were ok. Some of the staff seemed new to the job so allowances can be made for that but the manager on duty wasn’t particularly interested.The menu on the website isn’t the same as the one offered so don’t decide what you’re having from the web as it likely won’t be on the menu when you get there. I’d been looking forward to a bang bang chicken salad but it wasn’t in the menu,when we arrived.As someone reviewed earlier, the Black Bull food is better in Lauder but the surroundings here are nicer. That would sum it up.

I had a steak pie which had a tough piece of meat and a separate chunk of fat - yuk. It was accompanied by the small yellow (obviously frozen) soggy chip. The vegetables were overcooked which is ok if you don't any any teeth. What is wrong with chefs? Chips should be nicely browned and it's a pretty poor excuse and lazy to use frozen.I decided to risk dessert and had a mushy crumble accompanied by watered down Devonshire custard. I remember that taste from school.Having said all that, the other 3 guests enjoyed their food and would go back. I'd rather try a McDonald's - did I really just say that?If you are hoping for home-cooked quality cuisine then this is not the place. Decor is completely out of date. Owner / manager looks about as happy as a fish out of water.There are much better to places to eat in the Borders and sadly this is not one of them.

We called into the Carfrae Mill Hotel on our way to Edinburgh and enjoyed the best cooked breakfast we've had in decades. This was at 11 a.m but they serve breakfast till 12 noon. Hot food on hot plates - an excellent start! Locally sourced bacon and sausage, perfectly cooked, and even the flat mushrooms had the (inedible) stalks removed. My scrambeled eggs were done to perfection. Only one criticism, and that was the filter coffee which had been stewing on the hob. A fresh pot would have been good, but we didn't have time to linger.They also do a full vegitarian breakfast which looked tempting. We shall be back!

We arrived early but it wasn’t a problem. We were made to feel so welcome and given the keys to our room. The room was lovely, some might say the decor was a little tired but we think it added character. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in! The bathroom was huge and had a bath and shower. Breakfast was exceptional there was a good choice cooked to perfection and all ingredients sourced locally. There is a good choice for evening meal and again excellent quality. The restaurant is open to non guests but quests staying at the hotel are always prioritised which doesn’t happen with big hotel chains. All of the staff were lovely and friendly taking time to chat and give tips on where to visit. The measures the hotel have put in place re Covid are excellent, the place is spotlessly clean and we felt very safe. We will definitely be back and we would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

What an absolute delight - we ordered afternoon tea in a box to cheer ourselves up and it was amazing. Great selection of finger sandwiches, warm homemade sausage rolls. The scones were light & fluffy. Such a super selection of wee cakes too. Would 100% recommend and look forward to a repeat inside when you are open.

Spent 2 nights in superior room .......pretty much every detail of my stay was superior!The warmth of the fire in the lounge was echoed by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, nothing was too much bother .Details which impressed me.......1/2 portions of many menu choices. Standard of food - excellent. As a female travelling solo on business I often choose to eat in my room but felt totally at ease eating in the restaurant both nights. Whilst of a high standard there was a homeliness to the hotel.

Great value service and experience. We were pleasantly surprised at the good pub menu with many but not too many choices.

The staff at the Carfraemill are the most welcoming and accommodating even at really short notice they never let us downThe food is excellent and if I ask for a small portion it is always available.It is really great that you are genuinely looked after, Susan, Lesley and all the staff make sure that you are well looked after and we can thoroughly recommend the Carfraemill for whatever you are looking for.

I know vegans are frowned upon around here and restaurants probably don’t even want our custom but we do actually still enjoy tasty food and enjoy eating out. Every restaurant I’ve been to seems to only offer tasteless food options for us. I had the spicy bean burger (which seems to generally be what every restaurant I’ve been to seems to offer for vegans). Please could I suggest your chef actually tasting this. It has no flavour, no seasoning and certainly no spice. I couldn’t eat it. Also frozen awful chips? It’s so much nicer having homemade chips, especially at the prices you charge. Why not put a nice vegi Currie or asparagus risotto on your menu. Something that’s actually tasty and tempting. We cook some lovely tasty vegan meals at home and it would be amazing to be able to go out for a tasty meal too. Sorry for being negative but I just feel so let down by the lack of choice that our borders restaurants have to offer. We end up having to go all the way to Edinburgh to get a decent tasty meal.

We love going to the Carfraemill even although it is further away than we normally go to. We go regularly for lunch and have had our Christmas day lunch there for the last four years. The staff are absolutely brilliant, welcoming and nothing is too much bother. I am disabled and I find it difficult to get a restaurant that meets my needs without making me feel "disabled". The manageress Susan is in a league of her own and the rest of the staff are equally amongst the best in all areas and I have gone to many restaurants.The food and menu makes the experience worthwhile and I can't recommend the Carfraemill highly enough

great food very nice seating staff great looked after you well good size dinner got lots of it would go back

Stayed here last night for a function the meal was fantastic and breakfast in the morning was served by a lovely lady .whole experience I would recommend this place

we arrive at 7. 15 I asked if they where doing food , they informed that kitchen was closing at 8.00pm . The service was quick and friendly. The starter we had was chicken liver parfait , which came quickly was acceptable. When we finished the starter, within a few minutes the main course arrived I had the mince and tatties , my friend had slow cooked lamb shank. vegetables were acceptable, but my friends lamb shank was well over cooked and hard .my mice and tatties was hot and just acceptable. At the end of the main course the waitress asked if ever thing was ok , my friend told her that lamb shank was over cooked and hard. we received an apology.we were going to order a sweet, we were going to order chocolate brownies , but was informed that there was only two sweets available, none of the two we liked . my conclusions after reading other reviews which were favourable. the chef rushing to finish at 8 o’clock, and let standards drop. we are on holiday in this area and will not be eating you again.

We met here as a very convenient place for friends from both Edinburgh and the Borders. We were seated in the bright conservatory which was pleasant. Staff were attentive. The menu was full of choice. Three of us decided on a small portion of the rare beef salad with chunky chips on the side. How disappointed we were! I have never seen a more uninspiring salad of grey and certainly not rare roast beef. There were two thin slices of this grey beef which looked like it had been left over from the weekend before, a small spoonful of potato salad and coleslaw and a garnish of salad. It is not difficult to make a salad inspiring and delicious looking and thought should be given to this for future guests. Please order something merging else and management please look at your competitors for salad inspiration!

Called in for lunch.....with a very well behaved dog. had to sit in a functional conservatory and as such apart from the bar area. Bar staff were very functional and uninspiring and hard work. The soup of celariac and sweet potato was excellent but other dishes average and not cheap, compared to other places. Would have called there for breakfast the following day, but lack of enthusiasm from staff meant I chose otherwise.This was unlike most experiences of cafes, pubs and hotels in The Borders

We visited as a party of 8 for High Tea and WOW! food and service simply excellent.Three of us opted for the steak pie which was melt in the mouth steak and the lightest, flakiest puff pastry ever, four had Fish and chips, with crispy batter and fish cooked to perfection then my 13 yr old chose the Aga baked ham salad.... plate cleared including all of the salad. What more can I say??Then comes the desserts.. we were all pretty much full but couldn't resist the selection served to us. A combination of tray bakes, fruit scones and fresh cream cakes, all of which were gorgeous especially the meringues. The scones were served with butter and jam but we were offered fresh cream too. All in all a superb meal had by all, service was second to none and for the price just outstanding overall. Thank you to Lesley our server who met all of our needs and hats off the the chef Eddie, best steak pie I've EVER HAD. 100% returning next time I'm in Scotland even though I will be about a 2 hour drive away, I'll still be visiting for a meal. Keep up the great work

Turned up 4 times in a fortnight without booking and was instantly seated and attended to. Food was very good and service supurb. Would definatly recommend.

Das Restaurant liegt direkt am Kreisverkehr und hat genügend Parkplätze. Es ist rustikal eingerichtet und die Bedienung ist freundlich. Unsere traditionelle Gerichte welche wir bestellt haben waren sehr lecker und mit frischen Zutaten zubereitet worden.Ich hatte die Beef Pie welche hervorragend geschmeckt hat. Dessert waren auch sehr fein und frisch. Bravo an das gesamte Team.

Had a great night at the cafraemill..food fabulous..great peaceful location..great staff..easy parking..good prices

We ate at The Black Bull in Lauder and then here. Food at The Black Bull was better but surroundings were better here. Although the dishes were nice, they let themselves down with poor roasted vegetables and the chips on the first visit were undercooked.

I am staying here tonight, Thursday 27th June while working in the Scottish Borders, prior to going to Yorkshire tomorrow.I've often seen the hotel from the road, but have never stayed or eaten here until today.The staff were very friendly, hotels rooms are a good size with lovely countryside views and its so quiet, can just hear birds in the background.I ordered the salmon blini, this was very very good, a very generous helping of salmon too so thanks very much for that. I also ordered the lamb cutlets, thinking that I might get 2 or 3 little cutlets. Wow, I got 3 really large lamb chops. They were excellent. My only regret was that the chops came with chips, I should have asked for mash, but hey ho, when I stay again that will be an option!Thanks to all the staff, so friendly and helpful!I am really looking forward to breakfast!

Visiting a friend who lives in the borders we stopped at Carfraemill on our way home from a day out. From the minute you walk through the door you are made to feel welcome, friendly, efficient staff, excellent food and prompt service. The best steak pie (as listed on the menu) lived up to it’s reputation. My friend will definitely return as would I if I lived local.

An all day menu. Splendid mince and dumplings. Terrifically helpful staff. Consistently good. I’ve visited in many occasions. Doddingtons ice cream always a winner.

We hadn't been to the Carfraemill for years, but decided to pop in for Sunday lunch, after reading some good reviews, and we weren't disappointed. I had the roast beef, which was beautifully tender and the accompanying veg and Yorkshire pudding were nice too. My husband went for the "legendary" steak pie, which also lived up to its billing. Our only slight gripe, if you could call it that, was that the gravy could have been a little thicker. Our desserts of chocolate brownie and meringue were lovely too, and we felt the prices were very reasonable.

We had a decent meal at Carfraemil, easy to get ot with loads of parking. The menu had lots of choice and generally speaking was of a decent quality. There were a couple of minor issues with a main meal and a dessert - but genuinely a great place to drop into wherever you might be in the Borders. Very welcoming staff and plenty of space inside.

Prices a bit steep.staff all very helpful and cheerful.Premises clean and tidy gardens and grass areas tidy.A nice place to visit in the area for the young and elderly.

we have passed this place many times and remarked it looks like a nice place to stop to eat. Plenty of parking. Friendly service - very efficient. We decided to stop tonight in the hope that "rush-hour" would have cleared from the city bypass before we reached it! We are so glad that we stopped. The service was excellent - the food was lovely, and the staff were so friendly. No hesitation in recommending it!

We stopped in passing for a bite to eat No great expectations but very pleasantly surprised. Lovely surroundings, very good food and exceptional service.

Needing a stop on along journey, we headed here for a cuppa. The scones looked great and come with both spread, butter and jam. My only bugbear was that they had heated the scones (usually makes me think they’re stale?). Please don’t heat the scones - or ask first if we want them heated. The tea was good and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Very friendly staff. Lots of parking. Excellent choice on menu and well above average quality of food. Definitely recommended by us.

Great place for a peaceful lunch. Good menu and daily specials. The staff are friendly and efficient. Plenty of parking space.

Very friendly hotel, lovely staff, comfortable room with everything you could need. Dinner and breakfast tasty and plentiful. Reasonable price, a lovely stop off en route to/from Scotland.

Called in for Sunday lunch today. We have driven past many times and seen the car park full so said we would try the food. Having looked on the website first we were both looking forward to the winter warmers menu only to be told when we arrived that it finished yesterday (it is snowing outside and definitely still winter here). I ordered the roast chicken with oatmeal stuffing and my husband settled for a steak pie. The chicken was dry, you could only taste the overpowering smoked bacon it was wrapped in, and the oatmeal stuffing was a tasteless paste with an unpleasant texture. The accompanying gravy had a surface covering of gooey fat and was also tasteless. My husband ate the steak pie as he was starving (he will eat anything when he gets hungry) but was disappointed too. The meat inside was like tinned steak in gravy, the pastry topping looked old and was very dry and the chips were obviously cheap frozen ones. We mentioned the chicken and gravy issues when the plates were collected as I had left most of them and the bill was reduced to compensate. Unfortunately, this did not make up for the disappointment and the food left me feeling rather nauseous. We will not return.

Superb food - their chefs were wonderful. Staff knowledgeable about all the dishes and very pleasant at all times. Wouldn’t hesitate to go there again.

Stopped off here for a bite of lunch. We had been about 20 years ago and enjoyed it then so thought - why not.Simple but very very tasty homely food and it brought back. Great memories as I had mince and tarries last time. So I thought - why not again? And a fantastic choice it was.Highly recommended and will definitely be back - probably not wait as long for next time though

Another lovely lunch at the Hotel, we had friends up from Berwick and as always went to this lovely Hotel, Thanks to Chris and staff for great service. The battered Haddock is lovely.

Been here a few times and the food gets better every time we come! The staff are always very kind and friendly each time we visit. I had the steak pie which was great. One of our party had the burger which they loved! The other person had the fish and chips which was really enjoyed! Overall, very enjoyable meal, thank you to the chef!

We had a really nice meal of mince and tatties and hake. Well worth a stop after a tiring journey. This place is very welcoming on the A697.

Really lovely place - staff super friendly and helpful, great room and amazing breakfast, on site parking - ideal place to stay whilst visiting family and the area.

We stopped here for a refreshment break on a long drive.The service was warm and friendly and the dining area was cosy, clean and inviting (also beautifully trimmed up for Christmas!) Perfect for our 9 month old to stretch her legs, having a safe crawl about. There is also a great selection of baby/ children’s toys which kept her entertained! We had a couple of drinks, while our daughter had a yogurt and and some toast which came to a very reasonable £6!I’m sure this place would be great for a proper meal but it was also fab as a pit stop! Highly recommend!

We always stop here for lunch when we go to the borders and it never fails to disappoint. I could eat here every day as the food is always so tasty and homespun. Made with love and served with kindness. My husband had lamb chops today and I had the chicken. Then on the way back we had dessert of fruit crumble and a walnut tart, the cardamom ice cream was fab. Looking forward to a wee trip before Christmas for a festive lunch. Keep up the good work. Very cosy and welcoming interior.

Stopped off on my bike for some lunch. Outstanding service and an open toastie that was delicious. Friendly staff. Looks child friendly as well with toys etc for them to play with. One course lunch with two drinks and coffee for £13.

Another fine family meal at the lodge, served by a lovely waitress from near reston. Lovely fish and chips also mushroom curry well done see you soon

We were driving home from Edinburgh and decided to stop at carfraemill for some lunch. Have been here many times over the years but not recently. Lovely staff and menu. We had a good lunch and service was both friendly and quick.

We stopped here for coffee and a pot of tea. Very pleasant place. Service was attentive. Lovely cups and saucers!

We have visited here several times and have never been disappointed. Food and drinks all very tasty and portion sizes are good. Staff are always helpful and friendly and make our visits even more enjoyable. Well worth a visit.

I've stopped at Carfraemill a few times on travels on A68 and A696. It is ordinary good fare. The staff are nice and the place is comfy and service is prompt. A simple toastie for my wife which she thoroughly enjoyed. I went for the "best ever steak pie" which unfortunately wasn't. It was a steak pie but the beef was tough and gravy lacking. I'm not sure if I'll pop back in again wgen travelling. I've had nice meals there in the past. Perhaps I got the last of the pies.

We visited recently for high tea. The food was lovely and well presented. Choice was fine but may be restrictive if vegetarian or vegan as limited high tea choice so might be best to check. The selection of scones and cakes to follow the main course were good too. Plenty of tea and coffee. What made this visit special though was the lovely welcome and great friendly service we received. Good value for money too.

Our party of four arrived late in the day after exploring the Scottish Borders in the eastern part of the Southern Uplands. While we called the restaurant less than 10 minutes before arrival, we were were greeted by Chris who ushered us to a nice round table - Reserved Sign in place. Chris turned out to be a delightful host. The room was warm, cozy and yet had a goodly number of tables. We ordered drinks, starters and main courses. Everything was excellent. Locally-sourced meals were better than expected. Food quantity was surprisingly large.Appetizers included Haggis, neeps & tatties; Scotch egg; Baby roasted beets; and Hummus & crudites. All excellent. Dinner consisted of Steak Pie; Dark ale lamb shank; a dinner size Seafood appetizer consisting of Oak smoked salmon, smoked trout, prawns Marie rose, soused pickled herring served with lemon; and a vegetable & bean burger (large, kitchen-made, delicious and well presented).. The restaurant easily met our different tastes (Swiss and California) and catered to our vegetarian individual. Conversation with Chris was lively, entertaining, definitely funny and engaging. I had been telling my associates about the great dining in Scotland, and they admitted that, this country venue was indeed an excellent find with good and tasty food. Highly recommended. wonderful tastes, great presentation and wonderful service by Chris.

Great little restaurant. I had two courses of lunch with my two chums (no booze) and it came in at £50. The food was honest, well-considered and nicely presented. My companions each had a beef salad (the menu said it was small, but it was ample in their view) and I had an antipasto board that had enough to interest and please. They both opted for cheesecake as pud, whereas I went for meringues (gorgeous, but could not be eaten delicately - I did not care!). Service was friendly and attentive. Recommended.

Finding a suitable restaurant for 3 generations to cater for access, hard of hearing, vegetarian, small appetite and big appetite can be hard but Carfraemill suited everyone for a lovely birthday lunch. A nice big table with plenty of space around and no background music was appreciated. We ordered from both the main menu and the light menu and everyone enjoyed their meal. Staff were helpful. This will become our goto place for family events.

een hotel/restaurant midden op het land. Lekker terras. groot parkeerterrein. rmenukaart met goede keus. Prima soep. andere gerechten ook goed. Prima voor een lunchstop.

We enjoyed our visit here. Varied menu and pretty good food. I'd steak pie then fruit crumble. We'd our dog with us which is allowed in the conservatory. Staff nice and reasonable prices. Nice location too. Worth a visit.

Another excellent meal at the lodge on way home from working in Duns,served by delightful staff in great surroundings, well worth a visit.

I used to drive past here often, many years ago, when I worked in the Borders, between the jigs and the reels I never managed to stop here. Did now.Everything about the place delighted us, the decor, the menu, the waiting staff, all were unapologetically retro Scottish country styled, like stepping back to my long lost youth.The menu carried a great spread of dishes and a lot, like my mince, tatties and doughball, were good honest food that is increasingly hard to find. My wife had a salad with the local smoked trout and it was definitely worth a mention here, it was delicate and melting. Did you want a proper apple crumble, or a bread and butter pudding with no adulteration or "modernisation", then come here.There was loads of space to eat and many table sizes, the banter with the ladies who were waiting tables was excellent and we went on our way very happy that day. Hope I get back again. Please do not change what you do, you do it brilliantly.

Just had lunch here on way down soyth. Lovely staff, great food and so cosy. Would definitely recommend ... the comment 'I like it' is from our 5 year old :)

We ate here on mother’s day night. We hadn’t booked so we were happy to get a table here. The four of us picked from the Mother’s Day menu, two of us had roast beef , one had roast chicken and there was one fish and chips. The meals came and the three roast dinners had to go back to the kitchen as the potatoes were cold in the middle, not even warm! Quite disappointing. The three roast dinners were replaced with new plates of food with hot potatoes! The food was well presented and tasty. We all had a sweet to finish , again well presented and good. The bill came and was surprised that we were charged full price , not that I expected a huge amount to be taken off the final bill , but did expect something off. I queried this with the young waitress at the bar and she went to get the supervisor. The supervisor came and was a little bit disappointed how she handled it. She did knock something off the bill but surprised she asked if I was happy with the amount that she was going to reduce the price to. I did ask for a little bit more off the bill but settled on the supervisors first offer. All the staff were very apologetic for the cold potatoes on our plates .

Booked a table for my Mum and myself on Mothering Sunday. From the minute we arrived we were made welcome and shown to a delightful table in the Event Suite close to a open real fire. Linen tablecloths and quality cutlery with a sweet table decoration met us immediately. We were shown to our table by a very pleasant young man who was polite and attentive. We selected roast beef Sunday lunch with trimmings such as Yorkshire pudding and vegetable. The Mothers Day menu was extensive and would have covered everyone’s taste buds and food preferences. The meal was delicious and we were asked on at least 3 occasions if everything was ok. We asked for extra gravy but that just our preference. We chose ice cream for pudding and could not eat another thing afterwards. All in all a lovely day for my Mum and myself. The staff were lovely welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you and the food was delicious and competitively priced. The surroundings are tasteful and comfortable. We will definitely return and we would also recommend.

It is the most friendly dining experience that you can have. With excellent food and ple ty variety. Staff are superb and well trained.

We came on a Friday evening and the restaurant was quiet so we chose a table near the warm fireplace. We chose from the set menu of 3 courses for £16. We had black pudding bonbons and a wild game terrine for starters. The terrine had really tender chunks of game and was served with sauce and toast. For mains we had pan fried pheasant, with an excellent pink peppercorn sauce. Had local cheese and oatcakes to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed whole meal.The meal was really good value, well presented with friendly welcoming staff.

We visited the hotel for a family meal. You had to order sides separately which were very expensive but when they came they would have easily have fed 3 people there was a huge amount of food. They need to revise gheir menu and portion sizez itz all a bit of a guddle. Food was ok though

We went for Christmas lunch and the whole experience was excellent. From the moment we arrived the staff welcomed us as if we were family members. The dining room was really beautiful and the four course lunch was one of the best we have had,It was helped by the visit of Santa for the younger diners who behaved really well and all in all we were so glad we went,

Driving back to the north east of England from the Highlands, we stopped at this hostelry by way of a light-lunch break. Service was good, efficient and friendly. We only had sandwiches and a drink but it was fine. Decent decor, free access to newspapers and the place was busy with locals (always a good sign). Nice lunch stop en-route.

We enjoyed a wonderful birthday lunch here with a big choice on the menu. The lamb dish is superb and the soup as well. Always love coming here and especially to enjoy the country atmosphere and the lovely interior decorating.

A lovely place to stop off in the Lauder area for a coffee. A good comfortable and warm conservatory to enjoy a quiet time with friends. Friendly staff, good parking and easy access

This wonderful looking venue served us a superb meal. My steak was fabulous and my wife's steak pie a real treat. Fabulous customer service, quality food in a great setting. I totally recommend this great value restaurant.

Met up for lunch with two friends from way back. Can’t fault it, quite old fashioned in a nice sort of way. I had smoked trout and prawn salad with rollmops which really hit the mark. The others had lamb chops and one had salmon steak. Clean plates and satisfied diners all round.

If you are looking for somewhere convenient to stop on the A68 before going over Soutra then this, or their sister House of Soutra from the Edinburgh side, is the place to stop. Good choice for meals or snacks.

The staff and the food were excellent. No need for a post mortem or delving into a Swat analysis of there staff or health and safety concerns.

We booked a table for a Saturday night as we have had a meal here before some years back. And as before the meal was excellent as was the service ,even though the room was quite full and a wedding reception was taking place as well .we both had steak's and both were cooked as we had asked for .We will certainly go again when we are at the caravan site next to the restaurant.

I stopped off for tea on my way south. Warm welcome from staff, good menu & all cooked to order. Steak pie is very good!

Took a while to come but worth it when it arrived. Only had time for one course because the food took a while . Will try soup and desserts next Time. Welcoming and helpful staff.

I recently dined at Carfraemill while visiting friends in the Borders of Scotland. The menu had a wonderful selection of traditional dishes as well as steaks and other grilled items. One of my friends who needs a gluten free menu was well accommodated with loads of delicious choices. We all ordered starters. Mine was mushrooms in a garlic wine sauce and it was divine! Others ordered brie and declared it delicious. The decor was lovely and the service friendly. I would highly recommend going to Carfraemill if you want great food in a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere!

Tuvimos un visitante de Austria y pensamos que nos tratan a una comida en Carfrae Mill. Había reservado el invernadero como nos reuniones familiares con niños pequeños y el interior es bastante oscuro. Aparte del hecho de que no era muy cómodo, luego tuvimos que esperar casi una hora para nuestras comidas. Los tres adultos eligió el venado con puré de patatas y verduras asadas, que llegó tibia, carne duro y muy al dente verduras. A £14. 95 sin duda era demasiado caro. A menudo con familia aquí, pero ahora se busca otro lugar. Muy decepcionado.

Nice place and conveniently located; not an exciting menu, but good for traditional British dishes, particularly if they involve meat. Also good for catering for larger numbers. Does not pretend to be haute cuisine, but you won't leave this place feeling hungry.

Nothing fancy, but good food, an adequate choice, well presented and served. Good value and we always feel welcome and look forward to our next visit.

Paramos para desayunar en una mañana tranquila el lunes. La comida era fabulosa y el buen menú para adultos y niños, y hay muchos juguetes para mantener a los niños ocupados mientras espera la comida. Por desgracia, los dos camareros que encontramos parecía incapaz de sonreír. No eran groseros o corto y acomodaron Near enerything pedimos, incluso conversamos, pero parecían nuestros hijos, emitir un miserable ambiente extraño durante el desayuno, que era bueno en todos los aspectos. Quizás los cogimos en un mal día?

Inesperada oportunidad para examinar el Lodge at Carfraemill. Una cálida bienvenida a Karen y recibimos la mejor atención.La cena era excelente y el merengue resultó delicioso, si tienes un diente dulce es un deber!Margaret, sirve un desayuno después de una noche de descanso y el servicio era amable y eficiente, la comida estaba en consonancia.Sin duda, un gran lugar para alojarse para explorar las fronteras o para viajar.Gracias de nuevo! !

Volver a casa después de visitar a unos amigos en Glasgow cogimos el scenic route en casa. ¿Cuántas veces he pasado este restaurante/hotel y pensamos que debe comunicarse. Hoy fue el día y nos alegra mucho. Un excelente menú con los mejores productos locales y ensaladas impresionantes para mi esposa vegetariana. Sin duda estar llamando de nuevo la próxima vez que pase.

Fantastic venue, friendly helpful staff, food was ok, furnishings were very nice, range of beers on offer were limited, but prices were average for a hotel,morons were comfortable

When we're travelling south from Aberdeen the Carfraemill Hotel is a good place to stop for lunch. They offer a good selection of snacks and main courses at very reasonable prices and the service is quick and efficient.

Nos detuvimos en un café para romper el viaje en nuestro camino a casa. Ordenados estos así como un poco de pastel de la gama traybake. Cafés era fantástico, así como el traybake que en realidad estaba libre de gluten, pero ciertamente no lo sabía. El servicio era muy bueno de todo el personal de guardia. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir una mesa ya que estaba todo preparado para la hora punta, pero no iba a ser largo, así que estábamos y salir antes del llegado.

It was really busy when we turned up but we were seated quickly. The service was good with friendly staff. Excellent haggis which filled me up so much I had to skip the deserts which looked nice. Still next time..

El servicio era amable. Éramos cuatro y nos disfrutamos de nuestra comida (el pastel de carne, el scampi, pescado y patatas, y otra con camarones. Incluso los amantes de caprichosas comimos todo. El ambiente era muy bueno, aunque tuvimos un poco de dificultad para mantener el sol fuera de los ojos en el conservatorio. Lo mejor fue la comida y el peor poco no era bastante poder averiguar las persianas.

Really enjoyed stay and staff friendly and helpful. It was very quiet on the Friday and felt a little background music would have been nice. Saturday a lot busier so atmosphere better.I know these are still quiet months.Hope to go back for another visit .

Vine aquí para el desayuno con mi familia. Cuando pregunté si había una hay disponible un menú sin gluten, me dieron una lista de todas las comidas adecuadas en el menú principal en cuanto a varios alergenos. Este era realmente servicial, sin duda mejor que nada, pero no exactamente ayudar con el menú de desayuno!Tuve huevos escalfados en algunas muy sabroso tostadas sin gluten y realmente lo disfruté. Habría sido mucho mejor si hubiera sido claramente indicado como una opción en el menú de desayuno, y no por ponerme cosas juntos desde el menú principal de alergenos. Yo no hubiera elegido para venir aquí basado en la visualización del menú en línea debido a la falta de información, así que me sorprendió gratamente que podría haber algo.El personal es muy amable y el ambiente acogedor, aunque era muy tranquilo.

Very friendly staff and good menu, The food was delicious, couldn't fault it. I have been before and this was the best meal I've had there.

Encontramos amigos recientemente pero la noche estaba estropeada por los precios de algunos de los alimentos. Si pedimos bistec, sobresaliente, etc. que fue todo lo que conseguí y no es barato. Así que cada lado estaba haciendo un bistec de solomillo y normal o adornos £32 £18 que steak sobresaliente para un restaurante de país no es aceptable para la mayoría de los clientes. £1. 50 Por huevos, 2 libras. 50 por las patatas, tomate, champiñones! Cena pollo asado era dos muslos!La camarera, a quien no había visto antes no era nada amable, que no ayudan.Yo, en particular, haber cenado aquí varias veces al año y disfrutamos de la comida y el costo ha sido razonable y el personal encantador, así que más me decepcionó.
