Abby was an excellent host. She was very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay at the B&B. The views were also very pretty.

No complaints. Maybe more information on visiting Ferniehirst Castle would have been nice.

Abby provided an excellent breakfast with lovely coffee, the bedroom was very spacious with a very comfortable king size bed. We had three wonderful sunny days and the panoramic view from the window at breakfast was spectacular.

Abby hosted us and could not have been a better host. Breakfast was a delight every morning, our room was well kept, and she had excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit in the local area. The property and its grounds are very well kept. We would recommend a stay here for anyone who is out to explore the borders - we came by car and visited all of the nearby villages and towns, as well as taking in the countryside. Truly a great place to base yourself for a few quiet days in the borders. The property has nesting House Martins at the moment; they are an absolute treat to watch and listen to in the morning.

None up

The locality, the house it's self and the friendly locals

If I should mention one small point of improvement, it would be to have a bit more direct light above the wash basin in the bathroom. It would simplify shaving oneself :)

Beforehand, we were supplied with an extensive description how to get to the farmhouse (which is located a bit off the main road), so no issues finding it. Obviously, one needs a car to get there. We were greeted enthusiastically by our host Abby, who made us a cup of tea (much appreciated!) and showed us to our spacious and comfortable room with an en-suite bathroom. It was especially nice to be able to sit in the lounge during the evenings, and the breakfasts left nothing to be desired. The atmosphere in the B&B is very relaxed with a nice personal touch, and we enjoyed every minute of it! The location of the farmhouse is wonderful, with a magnificent view from the lounge / breakfast room (see photos).

Nothing.

We liked every aspect of the accommodation. Very comfortable room in traditional old stone farm house which had lots of character. Beautiful views across the lovely garden and fields. Really friendly host and nothing was too much trouble. Great breakfast. We will definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family.

Not being able to bring the 2 dogs home with us !!!!! Other than that, there was absolutely nothing to dislike.

Everything went well. Abby phoned us in the afternoon prior to arrival to ensure we knew how to get to the B&B and that she would be waiting to welcome us. We arrived and were greeted with hot coffee and homemade orange shortbread - just what we needed. Room was massive, Superking bed which was comfortable, coffee & tea making facilities with fresh milk delivered to our room daily, rain shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. Breakfast was amazing and freshly cooked - we enjoyed eating whilst looking at the fantastic views of the countryside and watching the Red Deer grazing in the next field. Everything was perfect and so peaceful allowing us to relax and chill out during our break. The grounds of the B&B are absolutely beautiful - we wish we could have walked round but didn't have the time. Abby was great with the recommendations where to go and specifically where to eat - she even made the reservations each night for us. The restaurants were "spot on" especially the Italian in Jedburg !! There is absolutely no doubt that we will return.

Lovely large bedroom and en-suite. Abby is a great host, friendly and couldn’t be more helpful with suggestions for places to visit and recommendations about restaurants in the area.

Didn't like no lock on bedroom door understand that it's there home and trust both ways but felt bit vulnerable at night time !! Didn't mind birds nest outside window as lovely to see the wee birdies but not the mess they made .

Location amazing ! Hosts welcoming and friendly. Fresh milk daily plenty of good tea and coffee and flowers was nice touch. breakfast on both mornings were lovely sorry Charlie but Abbys fried eggs were nicer. Loved the Love heart design on grass under picnic table!!😍 Great value for money.

Difficult to find, not easy to spot the entrance on first arrival. Unable to get some milk for tea/coffee during the day. But these are only minor niggles and didn't spoil our experience at all

Extremely quiet location, large bedroom and bathroom, beautiful grounds, elegant house. Charming and very helpful hostess.

Not much not to like but little improvements. Bathroom separate from the room. Actually part of the house but away from hosts family. Room starting to show wear & tear with age.

Quiet location ideal for parking. Stunning view from room of the pond and across fields. Signposted from the road as 'The Newton' issued with direct instructions after booking. Abby 'host' couldn't do enough for me.
