The White Swan Hotel ★★★

"Fantastic value, a warm welcome and very comfortable accommodation. Stayed for two nights on my own. The pub is a traditional coaching inn type pub and clearly a magnet for locals, who were very evident in the bar. There was very much a sense of community, with customers greeting one another but also friendly to strangers like me. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed traditional pub fare both evenings. Staff were friendly, efficient and skilled. My room was a small twin, with a tiny but very tidy and modern shower room. The beds had fantastic mattresses (high end Ikea), which I found extremely comfortable both sleeping and sitting up on to watch telly (the latter isn't easy as I have a somewhat creaky back). The hotel is a little tired in places, but that is very much what I would expect for a historic building that hasn't had actual millions thrown at it to turn it into five stars. But where is mattered everything was well thought through and delivered. The cost for two nights B&B and evening meals with wine totalled less than a single night B&B in many other pubs with rooms. I would most definitely stay here again."

The Wheatsheaf Hotel and Restaurant ★★★★

"Well the most important thing to me on this trip was that the hotel was free f friendly and it certainly was. Jo couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Restaurant was lovely. Great food. Great breakfast. Room was ok. Had everything I needed. £15 a dog is bit steep if I’m honest. The going and myself would 100% stay again. Thank you Jo and the team."

Allanton Inn ★★★

"Lovely Scottish inn serving fresh local produce, comfortable and extremely clean room, fluffy white towels, Scottish highland toiletries and high quality bedding. It was just lovely. We enjoyed returning to the inn after a day sightseeing in the lovely borders where there is lots to see and do with majestic country houses, castles , museums and gardens to enjoy and what made it extra special was returning to the Allanton inn to enjoy a drink in the garden before dinner. Thanks to William and Katrina for your hospitality and to the lovely staff who help to make this a special place to stay."

Green Hope Guest House ★★★

"Wonderful setting in beautiful surroundings. A perfect peaceful getaway! Accommodation is pet friendly, spacious with all amenities, with fantastic hosts. Ideally situated for days out to the coast or exploration more inland."

The Coach House ★★★

"The Coach House is in a quiet secluded location between Chirnside and Allanton. It's extremely peaceful and a great place to relax and unwind. The cottage is spacious and comfortable with all the amenities you need for your stay. Liz is very helpful and was available to answer any questions. It's a perfect place to stay for the Jim Clark Rally and I highly recommend it!"
