Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

An Idyllic Spot!
We could not have been happier with our stay at the Green House. The house itself is beautiful and comfortable and the owners provided everything we needed - including fresh breakfast cake, homemade jam, free-range eggs, and milk, as well as every needed accommodation for traveling with a toddler - bed rail, toys, and high chair. Our daughter was delighted to run about the attractive yard and exchange noises with the chickens and sheep. We were attending a wedding at Aikwood Tower and it was only 7 minutes away from the Green House. Truly a unique and wondrous place to stay!

A fabulouse property
We stayed here for almost a week in August 2014. It is an extremely comfortable property with a very private outlook in a rural location but 7 miles from Selkirk and convenient for travel in the Scottish borders. The attention to detail, cleanliness, comfort factor is second to none. I have stayed in numerous self catering properties over forty years and this property is at the top of my list.
