- Laura (7/5): - The lovely square The rooms are a tad worn
- Tetiana (5/5): - The room was clean and had everything needed for a weekend stay. The hotel had a decent kitchen. I booked the room about a 4 months in advance, and despite reserving a standard room with a double bed, I was given a room with a single bed, which of course was disappointing, especially since I had paid for a double. I wasn’t offered any discounts or benefits for this—just “take it or leave it.” That was unpleasant. I was advised to contact Booking, but they still haven’t responded to my request, even though three days have already passed. In addition, there is a nightclub operating in the hotel building, which is very noisy until late at night. Because of the nightclub, the hotel is also full of visitors.

- Ian (10/5): - I liked that it was with in walking distance of the place I wanted to visit the staff were friendly and helpful meals Hughes to much for me. Thank you for a lovely stay .
- Christopher (7/5): -
- Philip (7/5): A good stop off on my journey. - Evening meal and breakfast were fine. Staff friendly and helpful- especially when I was trying to get a taxi to the hotel. Stylish bedroom. Some good stores nearby to get food for a day's walking. Some areas are looking quite worn eg my bathroom and the staircase carpet. It would be good to see a refurb, if finances allowed.
- Peters (9/5): -
- Alan (6/5): - Staff very friendly and helpful, room very dated, a lot of noise from the street, people talking loudly in corridor late at night.
- Mary (8/5): - Nice comfortable clean bedroom. Staff really friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, large portions, very reasonably priced. Everything very good. 😊 N/A
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Georgia (8/5): Handy location and great breakfast - Comfortable beds Lovely breakfast Friendly staff Good value for money Tad tired hotel There was a half filled in crossword within a newspaper left in the room!
- Catherine (10/5): -
- Shannon (6/5): Mediocre - Mediocre, you get what you pay for. Staff friendly and assertive. The place could do with a face lift it’s really basic, dated and run down in places. That being said had all basics and was comfortable. We stayed in room two. There’s a crack in the bottom left of window and the toilet seat was that old it was black. A new toilet seat really needs to be priority. All furnishings are dated, stair case carpet etc work right down. Due to how old the pub is you can hear everything from other guests. 3am doors slamming, up and down hall way and loos flushing etc. We found it handy that you could come and go as you please from building as we had a even in Edinburgh so wouldn’t get back until late. Breakfast was ok. Nothing special but good for the price and edible! We would stay again if it was just to sleep for one night but don’t think we could stay here longer than the one.
- Penelope (8/5): Good value and helpful staff. - Convenient location for walking the southern upland way and visiting holy island Menu was a bit limited for two nights stay.
- Mitchell (9/5): Duns visit - Excellent value for money, ate there food quality very good, clean room , could do with a lick of paint outside overall very happy Nothing

- Ramage (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly people

- KAREN (10/5): - Unable to give a review as I had to cancel my trip
- Clare (5/5): Room lovely but sadly noise ruined stay. Disappointing - Location to Duns Play Fest /centre Nice staff Clean bedroom Nice bedding Hospitality tray Size of room (family) When I explained about pubic hairs and noise staff member knocked money off bill and did apologise. Staff lovely. Friday stay. Noise from pub really bad (and I am a super heavy sleeper but ....) couldn't sleep til after 2 on a Friday - lack of sound insulation from pub below. Public hair in bath Had considered putting up actors here for future Duns Play Fest productions but having stayed here don't think I could as worry for work purposes employees wouldn't get enough sleep.
- David (6/5): Adequate for a stop over on route - Very good breakfast Somewhat dated but it is a very old building
- Ken (9/5): Superb -
- Chris (9/5): Superb - great stay only issue we had was a water pump kept activating through the night every 5 minutes and it was quite noisy, apart from that great place.

- Brenda (8/5): My stay was very nice,polite staff and comfy room - I arrived much later than expected but staff were excellent with a warm welcome and very helpful I felt that the decor and bathroom could do with a facelift
- Jeremy (7/5): Good - Location and food good. Bathroom needs updating
- Cassillis (8/5): Value for money. - It's my first time here. Duns is a lovely village. This establishment is a pub with rooms. The staff were fantastically friendly. The room was tired but clean and comfortable, with an en suite bathroom. Perfect value for money on a one-night stopover on a road trip. Nothing on this occasion.
- Hayley (10/5): Lovely hotel, fantastic staff, will definitely back - The staff at the hotel were amazing from the wonderful barmaid to all the other staff that were there. Nothing was too much for them. The food was great, really huge portions. We shall certainly use the this hotel again when we are next in Duns. Hayley Nothing that we did not like

- Patrick (7/5): Good -
- Janine (7/5): Good -
- Debbie (8/5): Very good - Nice little village hotel with friendly staff
- Caroline (9/5): Superb - Location was perfect. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. It was our pups first holiday and we couldn't be happier with put overnight.
- Dunragit (8/5): Border Inn - Location. Needs some updating.
- Gaynor (5/5): It was ok for 1 night but I would not choose to stay here again - Location was not far from the Wedding venue Staff were lovely Breakfast was ok Uneven flooring on 1st floor -tripping hazard Fitted sheets on both beds did NOT FIT Window could only be open if there was something there in place to keep it open, in this case it was a plant pot - take the pot away window was shut. Noisy extractor fan. Mirror in room placed too high for anyone under 6 feet tall, I’m 5foot so it was no use to me at all.
- David (7/5): Good - Location for our needs and although a bit tired in decor, the friendly staff and other amenities were all that was required. The breakfast was excellent and the best value for money I’ve ever had. Needs a bit of TLC to spruce it up a bit.
- Tania (4/5): - The walls are like paper, if you are a light sleeper I do not advise staying here, there was a boiler or something mechanical constantly firing up, making a noise every few seconds, then it would shut down briefly, but then start again! I had about 2 hours sleep. I was in room 5, which has a huge gap under the door so I could hear everyone else nearby, not just passing my room but in other rooms, with their bathroom fans switching on, walking around etc. I had a full day in work to do in Edinburgh and wish I'd just driven up from my home that morning, 300 miles away as I would have been less tired. The mirror in the room is weirdly positioned so high it was pointless, I'm 5'3" and had to check my suited appearance in a shop window near my car as I left and do my makeup off a compact mirror I had in my bag. The bathroom one is set so far back from the sink that was no use. Definitely not suitable for a business travel stopover, I had to shut the window too as it was right by a roof so someone could get up there and in to my room, plus there was noise downstairs. I suppose you get what you pay for, cheap but not cheerful. Nice staff at breakfast, breakfast was good.
- shauna (6/5): - Very convenient in centre of Duns. Some renovation needed
- Susan (6/5): We were rather disappointed at first nit made to feel welcome and lovely park nearby to walk our dog - Staff were very friendly and helpful Rather shabby for the price
- Gillian (8/5): Very good -
