The White Swan Hotel

Not as plush as the photos, but a nice clean place to stay, with great food and some nice beers.

Great breakfast and bar menu. Good cleanliness, bit dated kettle needed replacing, fixed room blind myself. Great value and no complaints. Nice village in the borders, near Edinburgh.

We stayed at the White Swan for a private party. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. Can't fault them. The breakfast was lovely. Our room gave us a laugh though. We stayed in the Family room on 2 levels. The floors were tilted in all directions so made the furniture lean in all directions and the drawers opened when you walked passed them. The beds was clean and comfortable but there was water left in the kettle and the spoons were dirty so I'm assuming they hadn't been checked from the last occupants. The lights didn’t work above both the sinks. But the shower and bath were clean and the water pressure was excellent when using the shower. Several of my family members were met with unfriendly banter from the locals who were in the bar watching the Rugby. I can only assume its because Scotland lost but it was a little uncomfortable.

Lovely Place, Dinning available and WiFi was alright but was not working sometimes

Parking was easy, shower a bit wonky door but easy to use, was a bit hot in the night but very comfortable. Shame there was nowhere to get food.

Friendly staff good beer and a comfortable bed

Great price and room for the weekend. Only 3 dedicated parking spaces out front and if they're taken you have to move your vehicle every 2 hours around the square because of parking restrictions. Stairs and passages are tidy but could do with an update. Overall happy with the establishment.

Great location to explore the Scottish borders, great food and entertainment and very close to shops and food

Had a lovely time here. The hotel & room are a not dated and quirky however the room was spotless and the service was impeccable. Very friendly and very professional. Great value for money.

On arrival we were quickly greeted and shown to our room. First impression was that the stair carpet was old and dirty looking. The room was small but adequate, however the en-suite bathroom had a broken toilet seat and the door could not be closed. Dinner choices were limited. We chose lasagne but had to return one as it contained clingfilm. It was replaced and the friendly, helpful staff were apologetic, however the meal was of a poor standard and not very tasty. Breakfast was good value though.

Staff very pleasant and helpful room ok bathroom and shower was a nightmare needs sorting but food and breakfast was good.

Clean & comfortable…..old & basic however you get what you pay for. Stay was fine

Staff was great and friendly.The room was clean but there was some water problems with the tap and shower

It was clean & comfotable ,lovely breakfast

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.

Nice hotel. Very comfortable rooms.

Staff very friendly and helpful, room very dated, a lot of noise from the street, people talking loudly in corridor late at night.

We didn't get the room we booked. Floor was slanted. Beds uncomfortable. The bartender was the only thing pleasant about the stay.

Friendly staff good beer and a comfortable bed

Very old, basic accom.

We had a great stay at The White Swan. The staff were so helpful and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. Centrally located in the area made lots of local places, attractions and events available to us as well as all the things in Duns itself. The White Swan was built mid 1700s, with all the quirkiness of such an old building, so be prepared for some oddities such as the undulating floor near the window and en suite in the room we had. Loved our stay there.

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.

Ideal for a couple day stay over in Duns. Central to all areas.

Great breakfast and bar menu. Good cleanliness, bit dated kettle needed replacing, fixed room blind myself. Great value and no complaints. Nice village in the borders, near Edinburgh.

Very convenient in centre of Duns. Some renovation needed
