We were looked after so well and the breakfast was delicious. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Julie 25 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities I arrived early because I hadn't read the small print that one couldn't check in until 5pm. I didn't feel welcome so I went away and sat in my car until it was 5pm. My room was freezing. The bathroom was too cold to contemplate having anything but a very short use of the loo. The furniture was creaky old as opposed to vintage chic. I was told not to close the curtains because it would make the room cold. I dont think it could have been any colder. The bed was comfortable. And the breakfast was very good. But all in all it was certainly not worth the £163 for one person for one night. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful hosts and property in scenic Scottish Borders.

Stylish sophistication in an understated way, both the location and the hosts made this an extremely pleasurable stay. I'm reticent to sing "Bowden's" praises too loudly because - wholly selfishly - I'm rather keen to keep this gem quiet for future visits! ##### Tim Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ant, Glasgow 12 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful house.

There is off road parking, we had an ensuite room, and Jason was a gracious host. We used our vehicle to explore the Borders. While walks are close by, guests will need a vehicle if not doing one of the walks. The view from the patio is simply fantastic. There are very good pubs a short drive away. ##### D&P Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charming B&B Lovely hostess that made sure we were comfortable.
