Beautiful grounds and comfy friendly hotel. Great for a relaxed few days away.
Not a massive fan of the breakfasts, but that really is knit picking :-)

Lovely location on a hillside with a beautiful garden & mature trees - a grand old house stylishly decorated
Everything was good!

Breakfast was first rate - good range of options. Coffee could have been a little stronger to our taste so an option for strong coffee in addition to the perfectly acceptable one we had would be a bonus.
Fine period property tastefully furnished in keeping with the architecture - an inviting ambiance.
No issues that I can think of a well run establishment.

The Balcary is a beautiful house in Hawick, Scotland, with such a wonderful history. It dates back to the 1880s. It was also a home for children during WWII. It has such beautiful details throughout. The room we stayed in was huge and had a beautiful large bathroom. The staff were wonderful. They made sure if I needed anything while I was sick to let them know. I would suggest a stay, but beware of hearing things that may not be there, such as the Ghosts/Spirits that also reside here. I would love to stay here again the next time I make a trip to Hawick.

Good breakfast. Rooms were warm.
Not very Christmassy, a large tree in the hallway would have been nice.
Plastic flowers on the breakfast table!!
Breakfast room too much like a school canteen, lacked ambiance.
Small bath towels!

We did not like anything about this hotel. The manager was unhelpful and refused to move us to a suitable room. We left next morning and forfeited our booking.
Allocated room was an incapacited guest type room in a cold annex with very poor, less than three star, facilities. No standard en-suite fixtures. Manager said the room allocation was down to what Booking had reserved and he refused to move us to a standard room. We told him we would be leaving in the morning. Next day they fobbed us off with a story that if we cancelled our second day with Booking he would credit us with a refund. Did not work as it is not possible to cancel the second half of a booking that has been activated.

Very clean, room was nice and everything relatively new.
Partner was kept all all night by the occupant in the adjoining rooms snoring, the lodge rooms could do with some soundproofing. Breakfast was ok but not great.

Beautiful,clean,tastefully decorated hotel.Lovely gardens,view from room 5 is so nice.Really comfortable room,very nice quality decor,well maintained with attention to detail.A great sized room and bathroom.Loved the balcony which i am sure when weather is good would be great.Easy parking right at door,close to town centre (walkable) A nice breakfast cooked to order but would prefer a pot of coffee to save disturbing staff as cups are small ,nice friendly staff at breakfast.
Extremely cold "welcome" Gent ( i assume the owner) barely spoke,never smiled,made us feel uncomfortable and an inconvenience rather than guests.No mention of breakfast times,wifi code,where breakfast would be served etc.I thought i would find this in guest information book in room but this has just one sheet with history of building and a couple of booklets with local attractions and nothing else.Used the 2 two tea bags and milk to make us each a cup of tea on arrival and before going out asked for breakfast time,wifi code and could we possibly have a few more tea bags and milk, these were supposed to be left outside room for us, still don't know if another guest picked these up or whether they were there in the first place,didn't fancy another encounter with the gent downstairs so went without.I didn't feel this was a big ask.Would really like to have returned and reccomended but this is not what i would expect from anyone in the hospitality industry when it is their business.

Great location for visiting the Borders. Excellent breakfast in lovely dining room. The lounge and bar area were well furnished and had good views over the garden. Ample parking. David and Sue took care of our needs and were caring hosts. The history of the house was interesting as it once was a Barnardo's Home for children and there was an album in the lounge showing pictures of the period. When we booked there was only one room available, Lodge One. The two lodges are very new and well equipped but on any future visit would prefer a bedroom within the main house with a garden view. All in all served our purposes very well. Would stay again in the future if we were to visit this part of Scotland.

Beautiful room and bathroom, obviously very recently refurbed. Lovely well kept grounds, Very nice lounge and bar area. Dog friendly which makes a pleasant change
Only very limited dinner offering. No lift and no offer of assistance with luggage. The room is stunning but not nearly enough sockets. Thankfully i always travel with four gang extension cable as i have to plug a CPAP machine in next to the bed due to sleep apnoia. Nowhere to plug in phone or computer. Mirror is far too high above dressing table. When seated could only see top of my head. As per many hotels these days, too few milks on tea tray. Four little plastic pots not nearly enough and who wants to go back down to ask for more ? Could do with a table in bathroom for toilet bag. Nowhere to put them. No lighting at dressing table

The breakfast was lovely and it was hot which was a bonus because sometimes you go to these places and the breakfasts are only luke warm.
The House was absolutely beautiful and the staff where lovely.
We where in the room with the four poster bed and although it was a beautiful room and had a chaise lounge , it was too low for my wife to get onto because she has mobility issues and there was no chair in the room which would have come in extremely handy for her, we had to borrow the chair on the landing so she had something comfortable to sit on.
The mattress on the bed was really hard which interrupted our sleep through the night, it was hard to get a good nights sleep.
The mattress is personal taste because in all honesty, it might suit other guests.

The hotel is beautifully decorated and the lovely original features have been well cared for. There is a great outdoor space for children to play on. the room was spotlessly clean. The staff that cleaned the room and served breakfast were very friendly and accommodating.
The owners of the property are unfriendly and perhaps should leave the front of house business to their staff who are friendly. At check in I didn’t feel welcomed by the owner who looked put out checking us in. A guest that was part of our family was spoken to rudely when ordering lunch and on another occasion I asked if I could order lunch for my children and was told that I can’t because they are preparing for the wake which was happening that afternoon. A strange attitude for the hospitality business.
