All in all i would highly recommend this little gem of a place to any passers by, it's literally 2 minutes off of the M74, if you do decide to stop in you certainly wont regret it! This is now in my notes and I'll be nipping in for sure next time I'm passing! NOTE; we did not stay the night in a room however if they are anything compared to the rest of the inn then they will be excellent!

The staff were friendly, helpful & accommodating. We ordered cocktails (Margarita & Spicy Bloody Mary) A little on the expensive side, but large and worth every penny, cool, refreshing & enough to last the meal. The menu is varied & pleasing to both the eye and the wallet. We both had burgers, my wife choosing a double burger tower , with myself ordering a spinach & falafel burger, both with delicious hand cooked fries and salad. All meals are freshly made on site, but with perfect company & a wonderful view to soak up, the wait seemed momentary. Everything about the Boathouse is warm and inviting. I look forward to our next visit. 10/10

This service is outstanding the proprietor is extremely friendly and the selection of beer and alcohol is excellent. Excellent bar menu everything from Fish and chips to burgers as well as mac & cheese. Very fair price and everything tasted outstanding. The place is extremely clean and very well kept. They have videos playing on multiple screens of TVs. Also a couple of electronica pub games. And if you need they also have coffee. Wish this place was closer to the states. You have to stop in and say hello and try and paint.

The potted crab starter was very good (perfect toast-to-crab ratio), as were the chicken & leek pie and Szechuan duck breast mains. The passion fruit & lemon posset dessert finished things off very well. Our little companion enjoyed her cheese burger & introduction to a physalis. Intimate atmosphere, good service (extra ketchup for the wean and a box to take the burger home in were no trouble) and the wine selection looked very good so a non-driving visit will need to be made in the future.

We thought it was a cafe and were greeted by a gentleman in a tuxedo - most unnerving at midday when we walked in wearing motorcycle leathers. 'May I help you?', 'uh, yes, do you have a table?' (I thought that we may have stumbled into some private club by mistake!). 'do you have a reservation?' 'no'. i was still slightly gobsmacked by the tiny entrance, the guests waiting by the fire, reviewing the menu with an aperitif in hand and the tuxedo wearing gentleman with a mohawk offering us a seat. We fell deeply into the comfortable couch after stowing our helmets and jackets, reviewed the menu and were then shown through a small hallway, passed the kitchen to the back room - or, more accurately, rooms. Since then, we have walked through the same small hallway at least half a dozen more times, and taken many overseas guests to the Old Bake House. It is truly a hidden gem. Usually when I visit a restaurant over and over, I love to try different meals, but I find myself unable to order anything but the glazed salmon which has been cooked perfectly 4/5 times. Slightly over on one occasion but the rest of the meal made up for it. Desert is always delicious and the delightfully simple pear, walnut, blue cheese salad is usually our starter. On one occasion I had to order the chicken fajitas (because the salmon wasn't on the festive menu), and I was not disappointed - they were so good that I will have a dilemma next time we go back. What to order, the chicken fajitas or the salmon?? Ian often orders the Sunday roast and has sometimes been rewarded with double yorkshires! The food is great, the wine is good, the beer is good, the temporary staff are hit 'n miss, the full time staff are great, the ambience is good, making the journey to West Linton can be an adventure or a hassle - but all in all we have never had anything but a great experience.

Ambiance was super cute and upstairs even cuter I think (we were seated downstairs) and service was excellent. - Afternoon tea - 5/5 and I've been to had 50 or more high teas in my life in places such as London, Hong Kong, NYC, San Francisco, Honolulu... What was great about this high teas was the unlimited tea and coffee and they had many dairy milk alternatives: soy, oat, almond which is very unusual and appreciated! I had: - iced vanilla turmeric lychee matcha - 5/5 so delicious! And so unusual! - The Ivy English breakfast tea - 4/5 solid tea offering - truffle chicken salad sandwich on small roll - 5/5 - egg salad on wheat bread - 5/5 - smoked salmon on cream cheese on top of pastry puff pastry - gave this to my husband who downed it in a second so must have been good! - two raisin scones - 5/5 delicious! With clotted cream and strawberry jam - lemon poppyseed muffin - 4/5, husband ate it, was a little too sweet for me but super cute with bee on top - raspberry crème brulee - 4/5, solid offering - chocolate mousse in a pot - 5/5 super adorable presentation of the dessert in a little flower pot with chocolate cookie crumble "dirt" and mint leaves as the "plant" I almost didn't want to eat it! For all of this the price was very reasonable and my husband who does not appreciate high teas could order his beer and some smoked salmon off the à la carte menu. I highly recommend The Ivy on The Square for high teas!
