What They Say About Castle House

Condé Nast Johansen 2009 Awards for Excellence: Finalist - Most Excellent City Hotel 

'The Castle House is indeed fortunate to have Claire Nicholls in charge of the kitchens. She is a talented chef whose great skill is taking fresh local produce and allowing their flavours to burst through to the delight of her customers. I must return one evening to experience her Tasting Menu...I understand that the hotel now belongs to a local businessman and farmer, Davis Watkins - no wonder the beef was so good! - and he is to be congratulated on keeping the flag of great British dining flying so boldly through these difficult times' Philippe Boucheron, Borders Style, July 09

What our guests say about us:

'We would both like to pass on to Clare and the rest of your team our sincere thanks for an excellent wedding, the quality of accommodation, the exquisite cuisine combined with the extremely friendly service we received from all of the staff made it an absolutely wonderful day and evening. We would recommend anyone without hesitation to always make Castle House their first choice. None of the above we know would have been possible without your smooth organisation, coordinating and considering all the aspects of what we desired. We are extremely grateful to all of you, once again you have our heartfelt thanks.' Summer 2010 wedding

'Everything was perfect owing to the hard work and planning by your team. Please pass on my thanks to Claire and her team for preparing such wonderful food.

I would unreservedly highly recommend the Castle House for any celebration or special event.' Summer 2010 wedding
