Our double room was huge, but very dirty. The restaurant food was not worth eating.

Unfortunately we could not check in as we could not stay…When we arrived at the Waverley Castle hotel were told no dogs were allowed. It was pointed out to us that it was in the T&As. As we had stayed there before and enjoyed our stay with the dog we did not feel the need to read the T&As. We did not know that the hotel had changed ownership.. And as suggested to us about leaving dog in car was not an option for us as dog thefts are common and could not risk that. So we decided to look for other accommodation which we found couple of miles away who were very welcoming of us and our dog..

Enjoyed our stay. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. The room was spotless. The hotel overall however is much in need of an upgrade. The carpets, paintwork etc, very tired. Well situated for walking from the hotel along the river Tweed and further afield.

Lovely people and great location. The building is spectacular but a little worn and tired. Can't wait to go back once the renovations are done!

Enjoyable stay
We couldn’t get WiFi in Room 1 so I asked if we could change rooms which was arranged. The rooms were clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. We were disturbed by loud music at about 8 pm one evening which we thought at first might be a Christmas party but when my husband went to investigate he couldn’t see anything, the barman told him that it was probably coming from the kitchen, it stopped after about an hour. Breakfast was good except for the poached eggs. The staff were friendly. I would definitely return a to this hotel
