Schloss Roxburghe Golf Resort, Part of Hyatt

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel with gorgeous decor and comfortable bar areas. Dining options good for dinner and breakfast options are plentiful. The spa whilst quite small and not all facilities available was peaceful and lovely to relax in. Our room in castle was quite cosy and not a lot of space but had everything you need inc. Coffee machine, fridge and robes. A friend room had a frosted window as faced a wall so not great for the price. Another friend had booked a courtyard room and this was far more spacious and had a chaise long and chair in the room. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend as all the staff were super lovely and helpful."
