Built in 1750 as a coaching inn with a totally thatched roof, the Border Hotel was originally known as the 'Grey Horse'. In 1893 the thatched roof on the main building was replaced and the name was changed to the 'Border Inn'. In 1898 the gable was built and the name changed again to the 'Border Hotel'.

Over the years the building has been progressively altered and upgraded. It now boasts a conservatory leading onto a beer garden, a function room and two small dining rooms - as well as all the modern facilities the discerning traveller has come to associate with quality accommodation.

The Border Hotel is now a family owned and run establishment. The proprietors, Philip and Margaret Blackburn and staff, are always on hand to ensure your visit is comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel offers excellent standards of accommodation and facilities whilst set in a particularly pretty rural location amid unspoilt surroundings.

Renowned by walkers as the northern end of the 268 mile Pennine Way, the hotel also provides an ideal base, or stopping-off point, for cyclists, golfers and anglers. It is a particular favourite for those engaged in country sports or for those who are just touring the beautiful Scottish Borders in general. Following the opening of the Scottish National Trail in 2012, Kirk Yetholm is the starting point for this new 470 mile trek from the very south of Scotland to the very North at Cape Wrath.
