What a fab location, set on a hillside over looking the Tweed valley. The hosts, Alan and Julie could not have been more welcoming, apart from the 2 lovely dogs!

We stayed for two nights at Windlestraw and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The house is very beautiful, well maintained and very homely and inviting. We received a very warm welcome from Alan on our arrival and shown to our room. The food is to die for. Every course is exceptional and with a nice interlude inbetween. You are not rushed... More

The standard of the bedroom... More

The rooms were lovely and the food was great, both... More

From the moment we arrived at Windlestraw Lodge to meet up with friends on 2 November 2012 we knew we were in good hands. The gentle fragrance from the log burning fire immediately took the chill of the cold evening air. And with the warm reception of our hosts, Allan and Julie, we soon felt at home. Our room, The...

My wife and I stayed here on the evening of the 20/10/12 for our anniversary with the aim of getting away from the hustle and bustle of modern life – what a great decision, as this place is fantastic. The owners, Julie and Alan, are first class hosts, the house is gorgeous and the food is just amazing. Every single... More
