Cross Keys Inn Ettrickbridge

What a brilliant couple of nights away. The Cross Keys Inn is a delight. We were met by the owner Rory and Holly who immediately made us and Grace our dog feel welcome,had a chat and helped us with our bags to our room. On our first evening we were really well looked after by Holly and on the second by Rebecca. The food was extremely tasty,well presented and value for money.We had the fish & chips,mushroom & lentil cottage pie and prawn & monkfish laksa as well as the veggie breakfast over the 2 days and evenings but the tomato and basil soup was out of this world.It wasn't just soup,it was a work of art !!!!!. The beer and wine we sampled were very drinkable. The rooms are extremely comfortable and spacious. We stayed in Glebe,one of the dog friendly rooms. Thankyou to Rory and all of his staff who made our mini break away so special. As well as the lovely atmosphere of the inn and the delicious food and drink,your hospitality makes it the perfect package. We will definitely be back when in the area or travelling through because places like this are few and far between. Best Wishes for the future. Tim,Wendy & Grace x

Received a warm welcome on arrival. Our room had what we needed, was comfortable, clean and quiet. Friendly atmosphere in the bar, where we enjoyed a couple of drinks. Enjoyable breakfast, served with a friendly smile. Would stay again and would recommend to others.

No wonder this place gets so many awards. It’s a lovely old building set in the pretty village of Ettrickbridge. From the moment we walked in, Holly was fantastic. She really is such an asset to the place and the best front of house we’ve experienced. We had a comfy twin room that was accessed via a beautifully decorated stairway and corridor. Our evening meal was tasty and plentiful; fish and chips and the salmon and prawn linguine was especially good. The beer drinkers are in luck as they have Tempest brewery beers both on cask and keg. Breakfast was another winner and again, the service was so friendly. We can’t wait to return and would highly recommend the Cross Keys.

Excellent location. Fabulous Restaurant and Chef (The Bruschetta and the Vegetable Curry were both the best I have ever had!). Also a great range of beers and other drinks. Friendly and genuine staff. Rooms are compact but immaculate like the rest of the pub. Would highly recommend as a base for a short (or a longer) stay with lots of places of interest in the area.

Stayed here for one night after a long day at nearby Melrose Sevens Rugby tournament, so didn't arrive till around 8pm. Place was busy when we arrived being Saturday night, but a nice friendly atmosphere. We were made very welcome and had a lovely bar meal which we had pre booked. Room was lovely, everything we needed and very comfy bed. Highly recommend this country inn, and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Most enjoyable stay - staff most friendly & good source of local knowledge, excellent food & good breakfast choice. Good selection of beers from local brewery. Very quite area, slept easily. Would not hesitate to stay again when we are next in the area
