Springkell

Beautiful grounds, nice bar area, friendly staff, v comfy bed, delicious Scottish cooked breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely gardens and views. Popular wedding venue. I used Room 1 due to temporary incapacity perfected for disabled person. Spacious room and bathroom. Steps into Hall so wheelchair occupants may be challenged. Food good quality and tasty. WIne seemed to be 29.95 but can purchase by the glass. Well stocked bar. Good smart TV

We were really impressed with Springkell as soon as we approached it from the driveway and even more impressed with the interior of the hotel. This is a 1st class hotel and we really enjoyed our time at Springkell. In particular the common areas are stunning with magnificent plaster mouldings on the ceilings and a really special main staircase. If I would change anything at all I would install a bell push to call for assistance at the reception desk as it is not always manned. Although the driveway is very bumpy, it is well worth this minor inconvenience. I would definitely recommend Springkell and we will be returning next time we’re visiting this area of Scotland.

Long driveway to hotel from main road in a bad state of repair. Lots of potholes and very muddy. Parking available in front of hotel but very muddy. No shoe cleaning facility available.

Fabulous property, great staff, great setting, A hidden gem in the Scottish Borders, just off the M74. Food was beautifully cooked & the bar well stocked.

Our stay at Springkell was a highlight of our trip. The grounds are beautiful, the staff were amazing, and it was peaceful and quiet. The breakfast was also quite good. For people traveling from the US who are users of Google maps for directions, I suggest avoiding the Google maps directions to get to sprinkell. We were taken on a roundabout way that ended up with us on a very rudded gravel road as it was getting dark. We were there for only one day, and I wish that we could have stayed longer.

You shouldn't expect luxury but a piece of history and the country side life, The road to the hotel absolutely terrifying, no light and no asphalt with lots of holes and bumps, you definitely need a carwash after driving there which I believe that should be a thing to be notify before traveling there. They need a sign on entrance as the nice photo of the hotel is actually the rear of the building without any access.

Stayed overnight on our way back down south. Beautiful place to stay. Had a lovely walk in the grounds before a drink in the bar. Had a beautiful meal in the evening and was finished off with our Scottish breakfast in the morning. Highly recommended.

Lovely stay at Springkell. The best thing about this place is the staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and helpful they truly are a credit to the hotel. The hotel itself is set in beautiful well kept grounds, care needs taken on the driveway up to the house as the road has a lot of potholes. We stayed in room 6, it didn't have a view from the window but was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with a large shower cubicle. The temperature in the shower was quite difficult to get right but we got there in the end. If we stay there again I would book a superior room for additional space/seating. We had dinner the first night of our stay and freshly cooked breakfast each morning was good. Nice to be able to have the dog with us and she enjoyed her walks in the grounds and surrounding area.

Great place to stopover (we had a long trip from southern England to northern Scotland). Very dog friendly with beautiful parks for the dogs to run. It just feels like you’re staying in a stately home.

They are kind, trying but not well organized. Missing hand towels, sort of clean a bit dusty. Kind staff again, seemed understaffed and very young. Totally sold out, I hate give them low marks.

Found by accident as we needed an overnight stop somewhere near the A74 to break the long journey south but ... ...what an amazing Hotel! It has been lovingly converted from a family home into a wonderful guest experience by keeping so much of the home in place. The entrance hall sets the tone, it has to be seen. The room with its forteen foot ceilings was comfortable and clean, the ensuite brilliant. As for the grounds, they are superb. The formal garden below the lounge and reached down sweeping stone steps is wonderful. The grass lands beyond a joy to walk through and the woods and drives around the hall worth an explore. We only spent the one night there but we will be back.

Great staff, very good breakfast. Room was warm and very clean. Bed was comfortable.

Pleasant location and surroundings. Cleanliness of bathroom and communal toilet areas was disappointing. Nice breakfast and comfortable 4 Poster bedroom. No water or biscuits in room was a surprise. Staff very friendly and helpful.

It was a tricky place to find as the lane with a ‘temporary’ looking sign for hotel looked like a rough track. Not much parking unless using muddy tracks at side of the house. The entrance was very grand and beautiful but after that everything looked as if it was in the middle of a renovation. Biggest disappointment was our room which did not look at all like the pictures on website. It was down a corridor, up and down stairs, past recently plastered areas and open storage areas. It was clean but very small so it was difficult to open suitcase except on bed. It had some furniture in keeping with an old ‘stately’ house and then a modern cheap wardrobe with scratches on. The room was small and needed cracks caulking/ filling around the ceiling, window frame and sill. It was not as nice /comfortable as a Premier inn! The bathroom though was large (especially compared with the bedroom!) and lovely. The view was good but there was a smell of burning wood all through our stay coming in through the window gap which we discovered in a walk around the building was coming from a big bio burner. The food at dinner was extremely good - we had salmon and steak both excellent. The cooked breakfast was far too large with double everything including carbs ( 2 hash browns and 2 potato scones) so food was wasted. A smaller version offered would have been appreciated. The few staff all seemed very young but the service was good when they were at their posts.

On arrival we were very impressed by the location, set literally up a track in its own amazing grounds. Booked in very quick and easy by Georgie, she was very polite and helpful. The room was clean

Amazing staff so friendly and a beautiful clean bright interior, excellent food and ambience, we highly recommend this hotel.

Många konstiga grusvägar över fälten in till hotellet, egentligen bara en ordentlig grusväg in. Så lite inte på Google Maps helt. Väldigt nedstrippat på tidstypiska möbler i allmänna utrymmen och inredning är mest från 70-talet vilket är tråkigt. Hade otur med ostädat rumbadrum när vi kom, men det såg personalen till att snabbt åtgärda genom att ge oss ett väldigt fint rum. Bra service.

We had an amazing weekend staff are the best hotel is outstanding food is beautiful rooms are comfortable and very clean

Beautiful property and grounds. Fantastic breakfast. Would stay again. Room was comfortable and spacious

The staff were wonderful - so nice and helpful. Always checking to make sure we had what we needed. We loved the old historic feel to the building yet our room was newly remodeled. The 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner we had were excellent and tasty. We would highly recommend and would certainly come back if we ever return to Scotland.

We recently stayed at Springkell for one night en-route to the Cairngorms. We booked the romantic double room which was very nice. Lovely and clean and comfortable.

All of the staff at Springkell were really attentive and helpful. The room was well appointed and the bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic.

Our double deluxe room was too small for the bed so it was up against one wall with no room for side tables so a bit awkward to navigate. The bed was very comfortable the bathroom was good and the television was a good size. The public rooms were very appealing, the gardens gorgeous and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

We chose Springkell because it was a stately home and we had not stayed in one. The man who booked us in was excellent. He works at the hotel for a summer holiday job. He gave us lots of information about the hotel's history. We enjoyed our stay and breakfast was very good. The only disappointing aspects were our room was ridiculously small, the mattress was soft and you rolled into the middle of the bed. We were not very hungry and only had soup and entree type food and a cheese platter. What we ate apart from the soup, was very poor in quantity and flavour. The cheese platter was a disgrace. I did mention this on checking out and hope they improve this for future guests. Apart from our couple of disaapoint,ents with food and our room the ambience of the house is worth a stay.

A last minute stop on a long journey and we happened upon a gem. Lovely room that was a little noisy was changed without fuss to a superb alternative - wow. Bed was amazingly comfortable. Really made the journey one of the best parts of the holiday. Lovely breakfast in the morning set us up for the rest of the drive. Pleasant and helpful staff are a real credit to the management.

Lovely staff, great view from the room

Super hotel situated in wonderful countryside. Friendly and attentive staff made us feel really welcome.

Beautiful grounds, nice bar area, friendly staff, v comfy bed, delicious Scottish cooked breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

What a gem. Didnt know this place existed but so glad we found it. Jennifer and Paige were superstars, full of smiles and very welcoming. Just what weneeded after a drive from Weymouth. Food was very well presented and exceeded expectations. Tranquil and expansive grounds for dogs to run around. No traffic. Good for them. We would recommend and will definitely go back.

The staff were super friendly, the room and surroundings were very comfortable. We had everything we required for a relalaxing stay. The food for breakfast was of an amazing quality and service was top notch.

Nice hotel, very quirky in a good way. Staff were great and so helpful. Food in the restaurant was some of the best food I’ve had and I stay in a lot of hotels. The road in is awful and if you arrive in the dark you may think you’re going the wrong way, you’re not. Also make sure you leave on the same road you came in on. My sat nav took me the opposite way and it took me down a dead end road which I got stuck in the mud and at 06.30am in January isn’t much fun. Not the fault of the hotel just thought I’d mention it

Lovely house and grounds. All the staff friendly and helpful. The food was really good as well. Id recommend getting to Springkell via Eaglesfield direction as gps navigation can send you the wrong way. I think the house and grounds are being restored very well.

Amazing staff so friendly and a beautiful clean bright interior, excellent food and ambience, we highly recommend this hotel.

Service, food and accommodation were excellent. All staff were extremely helpful. Very good value for such an amazing property.

Super hotel situated in wonderful countryside. Friendly and attentive staff made us feel really welcome.

The hotel is nice food good breakfast good but the only negative i have is the road up to hotel is terrible needs to be resurfaced as pot holes everywhere if you want a quiet stay this is it far away from any roads

Wonderful location

What a gem. Staying at a manor like Springkell was a highlight of our trip. My wife thought about Pemberly from Pride and Prejudice when we stayed there. It was a wonderful place to stay en route from Scotland to the Lake District.

Fabulous property, great staff, great setting, A hidden gem in the Scottish Borders, just off the M74. Food was beautifully cooked & the bar well stocked.

Beautiful grounds, nice bar area, friendly staff, v comfy bed, delicious Scottish cooked breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel is beautiful but old Had a lovely stay and an excellent nights sleep. My only negatives would be the separate bathroom and the service at breakfast was not great. No one to greet us or take our order. Had to flag down a waitress to get a pot of tea and no toast offered with breakfast. We would stay again though especially if the evening menus were to change.

Very good value. Dinner and breakfast the very best.

Good points: fabulous building steeped in History. Excellent evening meal - despite the cost it was worth it as it was really 5*. Big comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Slight negatives: I didn't realise I was in room 5 - the only room with a private bathroom across the hall. Next time I would book one with an en suite. Getting dressed to walk across the hallway was irritating and in the middle of the night, inconvenient. No proper shower but I did enjoy having a bath. Would have liked some herbal teas as I don't drink coffee or black tea. Strangely the breakfast was not very good - the cooked part. It's obviously prepared beforehand as I asked for well cooked bacon and it wasn't. The sausage was not great. Strange as the meal the night before was fabulous. Only other point to mention is that it's off the beaten track but there are a lot of pubs within short driving distance if you prefer to eat in one. I would stay here again, it's a fabulous building and the bed was excellent.
