Dated property with basic facilities
On arrival we were quickly greeted and shown to our room. First impression was that the stair carpet was old and dirty looking. The room was small but adequate, however the en-suite bathroom had a broken toilet seat and the door could not be closed.
Dinner choices were limited. We chose lasagne but had to return one as it contained clingfilm. It was replaced and the friendly, helpful staff were apologetic, however the meal was of a poor standard and not very tasty. Breakfast was good value though.

Great stay at The White Swan
We had a great stay at The White Swan. The staff were so helpful and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. Centrally located in the area made lots of local places, attractions and events available to us as well as all the things in Duns itself. The White Swan was built mid 1700s, with all the quirkiness of such an old building, so be prepared for some oddities such as the undulating floor near the window and en suite in the room we had. Loved our stay there.

We didn't get the room we booked. Floor was slanted. Beds uncomfortable. The bartender was the only thing pleasant about the stay.

The shower (in Room 6) was fantastic!
But only 4 power sockets in a family room meant some compromises between bedside lights, TV, kettle, phone charger and laptop.
