"We visited the County Hotel for an evening meal, and joined in with the regular pub quiz. Service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious, and we all found our favourites in an excellent menu. Food and drink was very well priced. The quiz was great fun with visitors and locals joining in. A great evening!"

"We had accommodation booked elsewhere, but due to my disability it was unsuitable, very steep , winding stairs, no railing.. Adrian really went the extra mile for us and gave us one of the garden lodges nr 18. It has a lovely disability friendly shower, much appreciated after the day we had, and we also had access to a lovely private garden. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was very quiet. The breakfast was amazing. One has to order in advance, a great idea to order exactly what you want, which leads to little food wastage. There was a good choice offered, and it was very tasty. We didn't have dinner in the hotel as we felt we wanted to explore our surroundings and not be bound by the clock. We loved the individuality of the hotel, a bit eccentric , yet charming owner.. A gem easily missed in these often sterile times, we will be back..."

"Admit having had a heart sink when I saw my employers had booked me into a guesthouse in an old building. In Scotland this usually means a creaking dusty thing with tattered carpets and a welcome from staff as frosty as the room temperature. ( See Royal Dunkeld Hotel for details. Still screaming internally.) So what a delight instead to be met by a lovely man who checked me in with zero fuss, to a scrupulously clean and cosy room, utterly tranquil, and fully equipped with everything you need , including super fast WiFi. A preordered breakfast was all set out and ready in the morning and elegantly served by the same man in a fetching apron. Was a delight and can really recommend to anyone travelling in the Scottish Borders. Genuine hospitality. Bravo."

"Absolutely lovely place for our Anniversary weekend. If you’re a foodie like we are, it’s a must. This historic inn dating from 1750 is in the beautiful Yarrow valley, between Selkirk & Peebles in the Scottish Borders . The rooms are comfortable, cosy & so quiet. Looking out over the surrounding green fields whilst the swallows wheeled around the rooftops was magical. With a choice of Tasting menu or a la carte, the quality & presentation of the food is excellent. Breakfast in the morning was just right with perfect scrambled egg The team at the Gordon Arms is so friendly - we felt at home right away."
