On 27 and 28 August we stayed at the Marshall Meadows hotel just on the English side of the Scottish border, north of Berwick on Tweed. It has just been taken over by new owners so many improvements are anticipated by the staff. Even so, we rated this hotel highly. The room had a view of a field with peacocks and horses, plus the North Sea in the distance. It was well appointed with one facility that other hotels lacked, a small table with two comfortable chairs right by the window; ideal for spreading maps or newspaper. Public rooms comprised a lounge, bar and a split level restaurant, serving excellent food and wine. Price was in the middle of the range, i.e. similar to Riverdale Hall, cheaper than Rampsbeck or Malmaison. I definitely recommend Marshall Meadows as a centre from which to explore Northumberland and the Scottish Border country.
