The cleanliness of The Bothy has received mixed feedback. One review mentioned it being quite dirty, which suggests room for improvement. However, another review described it as clean and tidy, indicating some inconsistency in cleanliness standards.
The location is generally appreciated for its central position on a good bus route, proximity to the River Tweed, and the ease of accessing walks and local sights. While Walkerburn is described as run down, the nearby village of Innerleithen offers more attractions.
Comfort at The Bothy is well-regarded, with mentions of a very comfortable bed and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. However, there are comments about a temperamental shower and a high step, which could affect the comfort level for some guests.
Facilities are deemed basic but adequate, with a well-equipped property and good condition mentioned. However, there are remarks about a temperamental shower and a smelly hoover, suggesting some maintenance issues.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category. Therefore, this score is set to null.
