A nice stay , good location

4/10 Fair

Friendly staff, a good breakfast, but a tired attic bedroom with damaged furniture and showert fitting. We've tried Ednam House Hotel twice in recent years. There won't be a third time until the owners invest in refurbishment.

Central location quite a nice hotel

Convenient hotel. Shame the fires werent lit to give it that homely feel. No atmosphere or background music in the bar. Breakfast a bit hit and miss - the self service buffet excellent choice but cooked breakfast disappointing - one morning no eggs and another morning no gas??

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, quiet lots of places to sit outside and enjoy the views across the tweed. Staff very friendly and helpful, food excellent, just a nice place to chill out, no noisy children to spoil the tranquility.
Norma, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

We had to sit in an upstairs room for breakfast which meant a walk down steep stairs to fetch our tea, juice and toast for breakfast. The room was okay but there was a silly bath stuck in one corner that gurgled constantly when the loo in the bathroom was flushed. Bathroom was very cramped too. Best thing was the lovely but untidy garden for walking our dog. We were not impressed when we asked to stay an extra night that the price for that night was around £30 more than the previous nights and we were not told. The hotel seems to have gone downhill since we stayed in 2022.

Short stay

The Ednam is an old hotel and electrics and waterworks are far from up to date. We got moved after shower/bath didn’t work. Bigger room was lovely view but bath water wouldn’t go away until later on. Breakfast was nice. Great location but don’t expect too much.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Climbing 4 steep flights of stairs to our attic room was a problem for me as I am slightly asthmatic. The room is in need of some serious TLC. We only ate dinner in the hotel restaurant on the first night of our stay and felt it was seriously overpriced. We eat out two or three times a month , so believe we are able to make this judgement! This is why we did not eat at your restaurant on our second night. My husband is a Guiness drinker and was very dismissive of the "canned equivalent" which you have on offer.

Nice hotel in a very fine setting

Comfortable stay in a very nice hotel, right on the doorstep of a bustling town. The food was excellent and the atmosphere in the communal areas was conducive to a relaxing and pleasurable couple of days away.

Excellent Hotel - Thoroughly Recommended

We had an excellent stay for our wedding anniversary. The room was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location with its private grounds on the banks of the River Tweed were a one-off
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel. Very old world country house style, extremely comfortable and warm. Beautiful modern bathroom with loads of towels. We ate in the bar both evenings and the food was top rate. Breakfast was served in a lovely spacious dining room and hot food prepared to order. All the staff were very helpful, friendly and very efficient. Free parking!! Would definitely recommend.
