The location is lovely and the peace and quiet most welcome. We loved the view of hills and river from our bedroom window - and the sound of a cuckoo. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful countryside nearby. We enjoyed pub-style dinner and a hearty breakfast and liked putting the world to rights with the proprietor! We appreciated the non-slip surface in the shower and the comfortable bed and always like to see old furniture cared for and put to good use. A nice touch was the wee dram - thank you!

A lovely small town with interesting statues of Mungo Park and Walter Scott. I didnt get a chance to look at the museum. But Loch Haining is well worth a visit and the 18th century house The Haining is in a spectacular location overlooking the loch and is going to make a spectacular wedding venue when restored. I spent a lovely Friday evening walking round the loch which is five minutes walk from the centre of Selkirk

An interesting looking town that I would like to get to know better. Excellent meals out at the Fleece Inn and Kitchen and at Number One Bistro. The Riding of the Marches was on which showed the community spirit.

Selkirk is a small border town with small individual shops and cafes. We stayed 3 nights at Philipburn Hotel on the edge of Selkirk and really used it as a base to tour around other places in the borders, Floors Castle, Kelso, Melrose, Scotts View.

There's not a lot actually in Selkirk - it is suffering as are so many places with the impact of C-19, but it's a good base for Holy Island and the Roslyn Chapel.
We booked the County Hotel as it's in the centre and as we were travelling by motorcycle wanted to be at somewhere that provided food or was available in walking distance.
The double room was fresh and clean upon arrival. With unseasonably hot weather, we were glad that fans were available for each room upon request. The rooms were cozy and nicely decorated. The staff were courteous and the breakfast was very good. The private, off-street parking was accessible and spacious. There are a variety of restaurants in Selkirk from which to choose, as well as numerous attractions within easy driving distance.
Breakfast was an option, but we opted instead to use the communal refrigerator and eat a cold breakfast that we purchased at the nearby market. We were offered the use of the area for dinner if we had wanted to get takeaway. That type of flexibility is nice when you have been traveling for a while.
Spacious rooms, fitted out to a very high standard. A wide selection of books and board games. Fully stocked with kitchenware, bathroom & cleaning products. Spotlessly clean. A lovely quiet area in the countryside, but only a mile from Selkirk. Loved watching the swifts darting around outside.
Our host Sonny was extremely welcoming, friendly and hospitable. The property is a majestic building which sits high above the road. Our room, though small, was clean and comfortable. Our dinners and breakfasts were delicious. Plenty of off-road parking. Enjoyed our stay.
Everything about the hotel was lovely. It was a beautiful clean room with a lovely view and the breakfast was delicious. You decided the night before from a selection of options what you would like and so everything was just as you wanted the next morning.
We had a very pleasant stay at the Tushielaw Inn. If you want a classic old time small Scottish Hotel experience, with good food, a friendly welcome and all the basic comforts, in a quiet remote location, then this place is for you.
Family run hotel and the nicest family you could wish to meet. Rooms were comfy and we both liked the decor. Great food too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and no hesitation in recommending Heatherlie House Hotel.
Very friendly staff. I met other guests during breakfast.
The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The room
was silent as the hotel wasn’t too full. Would definitely
return and stay again.
This was our 1st time staying at this hotel and it won’t be our last . The welcome was very warm and accommodating. The room was extremely clean . Just couldn’t fault our stay . A+
Had to book at the last minute as original booking in another property was cancelled less than 24 hours before our stay.
Would definitely recommend The Glen Hotel's breakfast.
We had the most wonderful stay. The hotel was beautiful and the owner exceptionally welcoming and attentive. Lots to see in the area. I would highly recommend this hotel.
