The best restaurants serving American food in Tweeddale West Scottish Borders Lowlands

Nice relaxed friendly hotel. First room was very small, should be a single room. Receptionist was very helpful. Showed us other available ungraded rooms & able to upgrade to a lovely spacious room for a great additional cost. Hotel very clean & rooms have good facilities, safe, iron, hairdryer, safe, fridge, luxury toiletries, wifi hit & miss but free. Lovely view. Beer garden, would have posed an issue if people were smoking as it was right under our window but luckily no smokers. Issue with hot water on first 2 days, took approx 20 mins to get hot water, gallons of water wasted trying to get water at temp that was OK to shower in. This was the case for all rooms (heard others at reception re this). Breakfast was good. Portions good & piping hot. Only issues were herb sausages not to our liking & choice of hot food Limited to cooked breakfast or veggie breakfast. No fish or omlettes etc. Bar prices are expensive & bar menu ridiculously expensive. £22 for half roast chicken (£44 for a chicken!!!) No wonder the bar was empty & we heard staff saying only 1 table booked for a meal. We ate out every night. Pool at hydro worth a visit. Staff all very friendly & helpful. Cakes are to die for!
