Towards Mill Rig Looking across grazing land towards snow-covered Mill Rig in the background. Snow always seems to make these Border hills look bigger and nearer than they actually are.

8.6/10 Excellent! (401 reviews)
Stayed for two nights on a room-only basis. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the basic amenities needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but the food looked and smelled delicious. Would definitely stay again.
