The Capon Tree Town House

For a hotel promoting itself as a top food restaurant the breakfast we were offered was sadly very disappointing. Upon arrival a tray with 2 croissants and 2 slices of bread under cling film were already in our room. The small fridge contained 2 small bowls of cold meat - we were at no point asked about dietary requirements - I am vegetarian. Besides this were 2 oranges, 2 small yoghurts and cereal, plus milk. Where were we supposed to eat this meal - on our laps in the bedroom? When we left in the morning the hotel was locked up so there was no opportunity to speak to a manager. Our evening meal (in the dining room) was fine, and Elena the sommelier was helpful and friendly. Won’t be back.

Good staff,TV should be moved so it is in front of the bed.The lighting in the room is too dark.A main light would help.Overall a good place.

Lovely hotel in quiet spot on main street in Jedburgh. Food looked amazing though unfortunately missed it due to my late arrival. Look forward to trying it next time!

Property was lovely, bar locals were friendly, owner and staff were all great. We had a problem on arrival where I was charged again by the hotel after already paying *******, but I contacted them and they contacted the owner who refunded me whilst he still had to deal with them to collect his payment. Ate in the restaurant two nights in a row as there really isn't anywhere decent in the local area after a certain time, but luckily the food here is great. Sitting in the bar before and after dinner chatting to the owner, Alistair and his locals was time well spent.

Three of us stayed here in two rooms while doing various tourist things in the Borders. First of all may I say well done to this business for making an effort to provide attractive and modern accommodation at a fair price, which can't be that easy to pull off in the current climate. So any negative points I might make need to be taken against that backdrop. First, the positives. The location is excellent just at the foot of the High Street with easy walking to the shops and abbey. Also free parking on the street immediately outside the hotel or in the street at the rear. The welcome from Alasdair was warm and friendly and we noted a good going bar downstairs. To the rooms: We had Oak and Beech. Both were nice, spotlessly clean with fresh decor and with all the facilities you might need, including a fridge (of which more later...) The beds were large and super comfy. Oak had a balcony overlooking the roundabout and parkland which was a very nice touch indeed, especially with the table and two chairs provided which would have been ideal for a pre-dinner drink or to eat breakfast had the weather been a bit better. However it was let down a bit by two pots, one containing a long dead oak sapling and the other nothing but ****s. This, combined with the timber decking looking in need of some TLC, rather devalued the balcony experience and left an unfortunate impression of neglect. A couple of other niggly faults with Oak: the shaver light in the bathroom did not work, meaning that there wasn't enough light in there, and there was a crack in the wash hand basin. However, the shower was fine and there was plenty of hot water. I note that other reviewers have been critical of the breakfast hamper. While I would probably prefer a cooked breakfast option served in a dining room, I think the hamper was fine, containing as it did two types of cereal, milk, orange juice, ham, two types of cheese, a croissant and some bread, as well as honey and chutney. You certainly wouldn't starve and I imagine this is a way of keeping costs down. It might be an idea to have the ingredients of the cereals listed to support people with allergies. The hamper meant a fridge was needed and I welcome that as it's always handy to keep water (and perhaps the odd bottle of white wine) cool. However, the noise of it switching itself on and off wakened us at night. It might have been an idea to site the fridge in the walk in cupboard, which would help minimise the noise disturbance and also create more space in the room. I may be wrong but I got the impression there were no staff members present overnight, which may be fine but might not be ideal in an emergency. Overall, a reasonably good stay, a little let down by a few niggly issues that just need to be dealt with to elevate the stay to excellent.

I have to say that when I stayed here recently I was very impressed with this hotel excellent facilities and food was fantastic as were the staff .what a very pleasant experience will certainly be staying here again.

Excellent evening meal. Room comfortable

Good food and friendly sevice.

Restaurant with accommodation. everything well prepared and well provided. some details are better than 5 star hotel. we enjoyed the dinner at their restaurant. no more breakfast service, but breakfast hamper was more than enough!
