Although the hotel was poor, the food was brilliant.

Good clean room, very helpful staff. Golf course a good test but greens not great. Reasonable menu and food but great service from Zoe in restaurant. Drinks expensive. But fun for overnight golf trip

Borders restaurant Had a complimentary cooked breakfast with our stay at the Hill Valley, Considering the high price point (e.g. rump steak sandwich with crisps for £18 or a club sandwich with fries for £17) the interior and main restaurant room looks more like a function room with chairs and tables, there isn’t any restaurant atmosphere to it. Considering at the time we went in there was 3 tables of 2 (including ours) the host at first asked for a room number and asked to sit help ourselves to Cold buffet which had juices, cereal, fruit and pastries. We’ve been asked if we’d like a hot drink. This alone took about 10 mins to come after ordering. Then no one has taken our breakfast order for nearly 20 minutes (timed it as 18mins) before it was taken we’ve had a staff member coming to 3 tables with breakfast that no one has ordered, so clearly the organisation is very poor considering they didn’t know who’s ordered a breakfast when they had 3 tables. The food itself was alright it was a cooked breakfast so didn’t knock us off our feet in any way. If anything we were frustrated with the wait and how the staff kept coming up with the wrong order to us. Overall wouldn’t recommend, and would much rather recommend a local Whitchurch breakfast bars / pubs. Much cheaper and nicer!

Tasty haggis Bon Bon’s for starter. Then the most tender venison I have ever had. Finished off with a nice sticky toffee pudding.

Felt like a transport cafe with groups of presumably male golfers on a package who were loud and using unacceptable language, menu was not as published online, but was very expensive for a limited basic menu choice , the price of drinks was extortionate, would not go there again or recommend to anyone

Enjoyed the evening meal and breakfast here. Staff keen on social distancing. Staff friendly and helpful. House wine not great

We were staying in hotel on a DBB basis (£25pp allocation) which meant you could rat off either the inclusive set menu or the a la carte - you just pay for anything over the amount allowed. Table was booked for 6.45pm a few tables were already in use and we were told that they were going to be busy tonight. Fortunately I wore my coat walking from our room, thank goodness as I needed to keep it on. The restaurant was cold and other people were complaining about it too. Heaters were dotted about, however didn't seem to be on. We were told that the heating was on but it kept going into standby- hmmm, personally I think the staff have been told to use the same excuses and my thoughts are this is not a one off occasion ! Back to the food - staff are friendly and efficient although it didn't seem to be a relaxed affair- felt like they gave fast service to free up the table. Some people may like that though. The quality of the food was good and hot. Dont look for big platefuls of food, however the size was more than enough for us. Dinner was very good for an inclusive rate.

Really friendly staff, a nice bit pool that wasn’t too deep for the kids and a December breakfast. Evening meal wasn’t explained very well and I think my pregnant wife’s vegetarian pastry was from Greggs. The food didn’t match the actual food either. For example; my daughters strawberry meringue was actual a meringue covered in blackcurrents and cherry’s. On the whole though it was great value. Pity we couldn’t see a lot of the grounds as they were nice but the weather was miserable.
