The Border Hotel


 

Phillip and Margaret Blackburn would like to welcome you to the Border Hotel. We are a family run former coaching inn situated on the village green in the historic village of Kirk Yetholm, near Kelso, in the picturesque Scottish Borders.
We have five high quality, newly refurbished, ensuite bedrooms, a function room, lounge bar, resident's lounge, public bar and conservatory.
The Border Hotel is located at the northern end of Britain's oldest long-distance walk, the Pennine Way, and is a welcome sight to many weary walkers who have completed the 268 mile trek. It also provides a welcome break for those on the 62 mile St. Cuthbert's Way from Melrose to Lindisfarne.

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.

Children are most welcome, as are pets by prior arrangement. All major credit and debit cards are accepted.
