The Glenerne Guest House

In Eyemouth for a wedding and the guest house was ideally situated for that and for wandering round Eyemouth at other times. Bright, friendly atmosphere throughout, attractive gardens to look out onto and sit in. Lovely views of bay. Very pleasant room, large double bed, clean and appealing. Excellent breakfasts. Slightly disconcerting phone call with the owner's husband the day before about checking in later than normal due to a work issue, (the owner was more friendly in a call back soon afterwards), so we were a bit apprehensive about our visit, but we were in fact welcomed very warmly by the owner on our arrival, and treated to great hospitality throughout our two day stay. Some road noise in our room but we had ear plugs. Shower room floors should be more slip proof?

Having originally driven from Portsmouth all the way to Eyemouth we were exhausted and looking forward to our time here (having read the reviews). However: We arrived to closed accommodation with two rather confusing notices. The first announcing they had no vacancies and a second terse note addressed to us informing us of a family emergency and to phone a mobile number. Family emergencies (of whatever circumstance , big or small) understandably can cause upset I appreciate that BUT....having made a call to the aforementioned mobile number we were met with aggression,anger and rudeness. The alternative accommodation they offered appeared dowdy and tired and may have had sea view if you were to forget about the immediate vicinity of the Co op. Altercations with this particular madam definitely not recommended Whilst sitting in a car park overlooking the original property we did note activity. Perhaps this is what they do -you pay for their 4 poster 4 * accommodation and get offered " at no extra cost " inferior alternatives from the same owner. No, don't go
