The Scottish Borders hotel with food 'to die for' you can book at major discount
Its restaurant has been especially acclaimed by guests. A popular Scottish Borders hotel can now be booked at a significant discount. The accommodation has been praised by previous guests, with one describing its food as "to die for". The Plough Hotel is situated in the village of Town Yetholm, a short distance from the English border. Located on the village's main street, it features five guest rooms and a dining room. At the moment, an overnight stay for two at The Plough Hotel is available for £79 through Wowcher —plus an additional £3.99 admin fee. The usual price of one night at the hotel is £130, meaning guests paying through the discount site receive 39 per cent off their stay. All of the twin and double rooms at the hotel feature plush furnishings and peaceful views. Meanwhile, each one comes with a modern en-suite bathroom with complimentary toiletries. Wi-Fi access is included as well, while The Plough Hotel is also pet-friendly. Guests at the hotel can also enjoy a free breakfast in the morning. Visitors can choose to upgrade their deal to include a two-course dinner at the hotel's restaurant. The total cost of a one-night stay with dinner is £109—a discount of 16 per cent. Sample starters on the hotel's menu include homemade Cullen skink and prawn cocktail in a marie rose sauce. Meanwhile, among the mains are breaded Whitby scampi served with full salad, petit pots, and chips and chicken breast stuffed with haggis and wrapped in bacon. When not in the hotel, there are many things to see and do in the local area during your getaway. Highlights include the 18th century Floors Castle and spectacular surrounding Roxburgh Estate and the picturesque St Cuthbert's Way walk that links Scotland and England. The Plough Hotel has mostly received rave reviews from past guests. On Tripadvisor, the hotel has a rating of 4.5 out of five based on 101 reviews. One visitor shared: "Excellent food, better than we expected. Six of us ate here and the food was very good indeed, especially the homemade sticky toffee and date pudding, ah to die for! "Food was better than we expected so credit to the chef." On the other hand, a slightly less positive three-star review reads: "Nice room, good food, no sleep on Saturday night as music was cranked in the bar and too much shouting." Another happy guest posted: "Brilliant stay at this hotel. We had a great stay in this wee hidden gem, everything was exceptional about our stay from the rooms, the staff and the food." If The Plough Hotel does not appeal, there are other accommodation options in the area to choose from. Among these are the nearby Border Hotel and the Mill House bed and breakfast.

Shoppers race to buy Galaxy watch for £69 as warned of 'limited availability'
Shoppers will save £360 on this Samsung Galaxy watch through this fast selling Wowcher deal. The vast majority of people these days have smart watches as they allow users to track their health and fitness, as well keep an eye on notifications and control their music without having to pick up their smartphone. While these high tech gadgets are practical for day to day use, many of them come with a hefty price tag - especially newer releases that are equipped with a swathe of new features. While many of us would like the latest and brightest devices, some of us simply can't afford to part with the cash. For those who are wanting to buy a new smart watch and don't mind it being refurbished, Wowcher currently has a cracking deal on the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro LTE 45mm Smart Watch. Priced at £429 when it was released, savvy shoppers can now snap up the watch for only £69. It should be noted that the Watch5 Pro was first released in 2022 and it is currently no longer available on the Samsung website, reports the Express. This means Wowcher is one of the few places that is still selling the smart watch. As a refurbished device, the watch has had a previous owner and has been worked on by experts to bring it back to its 'just out of box' spec. With a 'Grade C/Fair' condition rating, the retailer states the watch is: "A working product in average cosmetic condition. May have very noticeable scratches and show wear and tear." For those happy to spend a little bit more on a higher grade watch, the Watch5 Pro can also be purchased for £99 at a 'Grade A/Very good' rating. This means: "Expect only minor cosmetic blemishes visible on close inspection - overall appearance is close to pristine. All features work perfectly." Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro LTE 45mm Smart Watch £429 £69 Wowcher Buy Now Product Description While the Watch5 may not have all the same features as the newer Galaxy Watch7's, it is still compatible with the Samsung phones released this year. Additionally, the watch is said to offer 'exceptional durability' and a 'premium build' as it boasts a titanium case and a sapphire crystal AMOLED display. As a fitness tracker, the smart watch also comes with a variety of health features, such as a 3-in-1 BioActive sensor to track the user's heat rate, body composition and ECG, as well as help with sleep analysis. Along with workout tracking, the watch also comes with a built-in GPS to help keep its wearer on an accurate path. With an impressive battery life of 80 hours on a single charge (around two to three days of use), shoppers will also be able to have access to their texts, calls and any other important notifications. For those wanting one of the flagship Samsung watches, Amazon has dropped the price of the Galaxy Watch7. Normally retailing at £319, shoppers can now snap up the high tech watch for £279 in a limited time deal. With Galaxy AI, the watch is said to understand the user's body better and start the day with an energy score. Alternatively, shoppers can buy the Fitbit Versa 4 Smart Watch from Argos for £179. Available in pink, black or blue, this smart watch is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. With a six day plus battery life, shoppers will be able to track over 40 exercises and their sleep with the thin, lightweight device. Back to the Watch5 Pro, some customers left reviews of the device on the Samsung website before it was discontinued. One person said: "This watch strikes the perfect balance between style, functionality, and performance. "Whether you're tracking your fitness goals, staying connected, or simply looking for a stylish timepiece, this smartwatch is a fantastic choice. It's a worthy addition to Samsung's ecosystem and an excellent option for smart watch enthusiasts." However, another reviewer wasn't as impressed, as they said: "Bad battery, disconnects from phone a lot, notifications don't come up." In terms of Wowcher, the website has received a lot of high praise on Trustpilot for its refurbished tech. One five-star reviewer said: "Purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro at an unbeatable reduced price. As a MacBook user for over a decade and a half, I am impressed with the quality of the product." Another said: "I have just ordered a brand new 7" screen smartphone at an unbelievably low price - lower than a replacement LCD screen on my current mobile. Looking forward to its delivery." However, one Wowcher customer who ordered a refurbished Apple Watch was left disappointed. They explained: "When it arrived, it was battered, scratched and in an unacceptable condition. The battery health was 'severely depleted', making me question what level of refurbishment had actually been done." To buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro LTE 45mm Smart Watch, click HERE.
