There is no finer place to stay in the border area. The Richard and Claire Moore are a delight and made us feel like part of their family. We travelled all the way from Australia justr to stay there and we were not disappointed. …

I have visited a few times now and find the service excellent. The food is amazing and the menu changes regularly. I can sometimes be a fussy eater but I have tried various meals here which I wouldn't generally even look twice at. I definitely recommend if you want a high quality tasty meal.

Just returned from a wonderful meal at this hotel. First time but certainly will not be the last. The food was excellent, with the guinea fowl and salmon very tasty. Service was good, not rushed to get through your meal. A great experience.
