Nice hotel, shame about the water

A lovely hotel let down by no hot water for the first evening and following morning. No one let us know until we asked after a cold shower, no sort of reduction on price offered. A little disappointing for this type of place.

Perfect!

My husband and I enjoyed five glorious nights at the Roxburghe and it exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed the area and everyone at the hotel went above and beyond to ensure our every comfort. The property is beautiful and so many wonderful areas to explore are a very close drive. My husband enjoyed the golf. We hope to return again next year.

Arrived on Friday about 5pm, staff were very friendly & helpful. Room was spacious, nice decor. Only complaint was that the bed seemed like 2 x singles joined to make a double as it had an uncomfortable Ridge in the middle. We had a meal from the a-la-carte menu which was lovely. We used the spa facility and was impressed with the facility & the masseuse. Lovely gardens for walks which we enjoyed. Had meal from the bar menu, club sandwich, which again was very nice. Breakfasts too were excellent with plenty of choices. All in all a nice venue, with plenty of facilities to use, excellent & helpful staff .....would definitely go back.

We had a wonderful trip to the Roxburghe hotel where every member of staff was well trained and very good at their jobs and who went the extra mile on several occasions to make our stay extra special. Definitely worth a visit for a special birthday or anniversary.

Great hotel, lovely setting with friendly staff

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. Arrived early to attend local races but staff provided room to get changed and took our bags. Open fire in reception was warm and welcoming as was our entire stay. We were given a free upgrade to be aa junior suite with four poster bed and lovely proportions. Room service that evening prompt with great food. Breakfast was good quality ingredients, more than we could eat and served by polite friendly staff.

Fabulous Roxburghe Hotel

We stayed here for a family occasion, and it was perfect in every way. The food was exquisite, with a modern take on traditional dishes. The staff were first class, very professional and helpful. We stayed in the courtyard rooms, which were very clean, comfortable and quiet. The hotel setting is very grand, and is an impressive sight when driving up the long drive. I'd thoroughly recommend this gem of a hotel to anyone

One night

Staff were friendly, welcoming and was especially impressed by the bar tenders knowledge on whisky and wine. Stayed in a junior suite, four poster bed was uncomfortable and felt the bathroom a touch shabby but very clean. Had dinner and breakfast - 10/10 on the food front.

Wonderful, Elegant Hotel

Excellent, attentive staff. Beautiful, clean and well-maintained building. Great room - fantastic bath and shower, comfy bed, wonderful view. The food was incredible and well priced - a great dining experience. Wood, coal fires. Cosy bar. I honestly can't find anything to criticise about this place. Probably the best weekend break we've had.

Fantastic service from friendly staff

Food and staff could not have been more attentive. All staff attentive and smiles all round. Log fire at entrance, which was very welcoming, however would like to have seen other fires in bar and lounge areas lit in the evenings, Only downside very hot towel rail which I burnt myself on. Able to switch off towel rail to save any further distress.
