The White Swan Hotel ★★★

"I'm staying for 2 nights again. Working at Farne Salmon n Trout factory. The hotel is a bit tired, but decorators are in just now smartening up the place. Stayed here for 2 nights, 2 weeks ago. Back for 2 nights again. Room needs gutted, especially the bathroom. This seems to be in hand as new owners, I believe. Staff are amazing. Girls behind the bar are superb. Breakfast girl is just 1st class. Had a dinner 2 weeks ago. Hot food on a cold plate. Sorry, but that's just not on. Told Jan on my 1st visit. 2nd visit, same again. Food is cooked so well. In fact, the food is bloody brilliant. Such a shame my complaint has fallen on deaf ears. PUT HOT FOOD ON A COLD PLATE. THE HOT FOOD TRIES SO HARD TO HEAT UP THE PLATE THAT ITS ON, THAT IT'S COLD IN 10/15 MINS. A CHEF REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW THAT. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Great bar. Sky sports. Great staff. So friendly. Please get the simplest of things right. The breakfast girl did this morning. Heat the plate up before putting food on it. It's just so easy. My only moan about here. My friend Gordon R would be horrified. I've secured a good contract at Farne up the road. I'm off to the chippy tonight cos they don't have cold plates. Please take heed of this review. It's so easily dealt with. I will be back. Cheers. Cookie."

The Wheatsheaf Hotel and Restaurant ★★★★

"Booked here because other accommodation wasn’t available. So glad we did. A true gem of a place and standard of accommodation and food was amazing. Michael and his staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Can’t recommend this highly enough."

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."

Chirnside Hall Hotel ★★★★

"One of my favourite places I stayed during my travels in Scotland (and I stayed in some lovely places!). I only stayed for one night while travelling north to Aberdeen and was disappointed I didn't have more time to stay as the property was gorgeous. My room had a reading nook in the tower, and the communal lounge area was beautifully appointed and so cosy and inviting, with beautiful views across the landscape. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The staff were both friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend."

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!"

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."

A beautiful and cosy dog friendly cottage with flexible sleeping arrangements ★★★★
