hi folks after we had been at the raffle draw at dalkeith yesterday we decided tae mak a weekend o it we ran on over tae kelso only to fin it was kelso race day (hotels busy) we then ran oer tae Moffat (dark n pissin o rain by noo {am sure yev o been there} ) first place we tried wis the Buccleuch Arms Hotel. They have a wee sighn on the door bikers welcome.We could not have been made more welcome, offered 15% discount up front cos we were bikers. The room was very well presented and comfortable,the menu is extensive THE FOOD WIS FANTASTIC ,they put us in secure parking locked in an area roon the back the staff were so helpfull it just didna feel like scotland ,the owners are bikers, it goes on ,the brekie spread wis as good as any i have seen even in very seriously expensive places. ive stayed in many dozens of hotels on hol and on biz THIS PLACE IS A GEM .the owners are not from scotland but can see a huge potential for the biker market and are setting out to do it properly . ive nae connection here but i thought it wis worth mentioning his establishment because its the first like it ive come across and really deserves supporting onywae there is good riding roads doon there and i will defo be going back:clap:clap:clap www.buccleucharmshotel.com

hi micky
glad to hear this place was ok for you.I put up the first post but its always at the back of your mind when you give a personal recce that it might have just been a one off. We really enjoyed our wee stay there and are deffo going back. It was very refreshing to actually be welcomed as a biker as opposed tae being just put up with. i went into a hotel in aberlady (east coast) and they did not even have the courtesy to acknowlege my presence.There were some golf types at the bar so they must have reconned their establishment ws too good for biker types. barstewards, i could have bought the place ,but hey thats britain for u a wee bagee o gouf clubs and yer in, a 13 k bike an yer oot:augie (sorry rant over) its no like this on the continent ,at least ony o the many many places ive been to so its nice tae find a bike friendly place!!!!!!!:beerjug:
