Close to Jedburgh Centre it was certainly worth a stop and there were some good deals. There is ample parking and the staff were very friendly.

First stay at the Traquir Arms Hotel and restaurant and can definitely say it won’t be the last. I had a single room on the top floor the room was clean and nicely furnished and there was plenty of tea and coffee and lots of mini milk pots ( most places leave you a couple which normally only allows for one cup of coffee) Everywhere around the hotel and restaurants is clean and tastefully decorated and the staff are really friendly. I had an evening meal and breakfast and the food choices were excellent, well presented and super tasty.

Ticks all boxes. Friendly staff, clean and fast. No issues, used multiple times

Just bought a fish supper. Got it home two mins later and it’s already cold and the fish is so dry. Obviously been cooked ages ago. WAS starving - not anymore. You need to cook food fresh, folks. Sad.

Spent 3 nights here 11-14 April for Melrose 7s. Clean room, excellently powerful shower, friendly staff and great breakfast.

“Signature” pizza was sloppy mess. Late.

We queued for 30 mins for a bowl of soup and cup of tea. Then waited another 30 mins for the soup to be ladled into a paper cup. See photos for what we got . They had clearly watered down the vegetable soup to eke it out. It was basically tepid water with a few bits of potato and leek floating around - and half filled a coffee cup. I paid £5 for the privilege - appalling. The tea was about £2 - with the cheapest teabag possible in a paper cup, so probably a profit of £1.95. And the crisps were £1.75 for a small bag! Complete rip-off. The rubbish was piled up everywhere, bins and trays were overflowing. And it was freezing, with the door propped open. The toilets were littered with loo roll on the floors. I appreciate there was a running race on, so there were many more people than usual - but they knew this months in advance and could have planned for it. Efficiency costs nothing and is just common sense. If you're expecting a busy day, have a load of sandwiches, rolls or paninis ready-made to go, or 'help yourself' soup.

Local to the area and have been going for years however service and quality both deteriorated more recently. Arrived at 945 this morning and waited 45 minutes for 1 breakfast to arrive at table despite asking after 30 minutes if everything was ok. Poached eggs and avacado on toast - minimal ‘avacado spread’ which didn’t appear fresh and very over cooked poached eggs. Really want to support the team and local business but won’t be going back! Rest of table had scones / coffees which were nice but not good enough to justify the wait and overall service.

Absolutely fabulous, good food and staff were lovely. I will be back thanks. I can highly recommend. The fried bread was out of this world.

Did not stay in the hotel. But visited the Potting shed Bistro in the grounds. Highly recommend the quaint little potting shed bistro in the grounds of the Roman Camp Hotel. Unique ambience, lovely food and great staff. In my view the best place to dine out in Callander.

my family and I went for lunch here, we were a bit worried after reading the previous reviews. however glad we never paid any attention to them as its a real hidden gem. The cafe is not everyones taste as a bit retro, however we loved it! tea served in a tea pot with cup and saucer and the staff were very welcoming and chatty, nothing a problem, ppe worn by staff and all track and trace carried out. menu limited but has everything you need. we will be back when in the area and lockdown allows.
