Excellent accommodation within a beautiful building of great historical significance and set in magnificent countryside. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the castle tour. Our guide (Norman) had a wealth of knowledge with regard to both the castle itself and the Maitland family who have occupied it over the centuries.

The location was great for visiting the Scottish Borders.
The location was great for visiting the Scottish Borders.
A good variety of places in Lauder to dine out.
There is good bus services to Edinburgh + other towns in the Borders.
The bus stops are just outside the apartment.
We just needed a bed for the night in Lauder and this place was fine for what we wanted.It was easy to find (on west high street) and it was no problem to park right outside it.The heating was easy to use and it had all the things we needed in the kitchen.It has a pulley and we used it to put all our wet clothes on (they were soaking after nearly 4 hrs of walking in the rain).Nice hot power shower.
lovely breakfast, cooked for both mornings. comfortable eating areas, with a fire in a wood burner.. lovely on a cold morning. clean and comfortable room, facing the street but quiet. We arrived back on Sunday night after 9 to find the hotel closed , so no chance of a drink/snack. Apart from that, a great place to stay, central in the Borders.
Had an excellent stay at the Lauderdale Hotel. The lady who runs the hotel was really friendly and the service was great. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. The bathroom was well equipped with a large shower. If I ever find myself needing accommodation in Lauder again I will definitely choose to stay here again.
Amazing stay! We stayed in the sculleries, the rooms were extremely comfortable, very clean. The castle is set in lovely grounds, a great place to unwind. We couldn't have asked for anything better. The location was ideal for exploring the local area. The Black Bull in Lauder was a great place to eat out.
The bed was comfy, the house was completely refurbished and smartly decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and stylish. The bathroom had underfloor heating. The patio caught the sun in the afternoon.
Lauder has a fine dining restaurant ,Firebrick, an artisan bakery a good cafe/gallery and a deli.
Lauder was our base and we visited several tourist attractions up to an hour’s drive away.
The apartment was very comfortable and we so enjoyed our stay. Three very large bedrooms and bathrooms all of a very high standard. Walked the castle and river walks. They even opened the gift shop for us.
this hotel exceeded all expectations. the room was simply beautiful, the bed was sooo comfy and the feel when staying was so at ease. the decor and attention detail of the hotel was very classy. and then there are the staff, so friendly, chatty and polite.
I will definitely returning.
Great location close to shore. We did liked the massive fireplace in hotel restaurant and overall it felt "like home". Breakfast was amazing with plenty to choose from. We loved the morning vibe of the place. Staff was friendly and kind. Dinner at the place was ok, but not great.
I am a retired professional chef and hotel manager for Hyatt hotels and rarely am I so impressed with a facility to the degree that I am with the Black Bull. If the opportunity presents itself you must stay here and will not be disappointed whatsoever.
Location ideal, private off road parking. Very comfortable bed. Very friendly host who offered refreshments on arrival served in residents lounge.
The breakfast was amazing,much better offering and quality compared to the4* hotel we stayed in afterwards.
The hotel was excellent, very nice interior, well appointed, comfortable room, excellent food, great service and friendly staff and owners. A great base for exploring the Scottish Borders. I would gladly stay again if in the area.
The most friendly and welcoming hosts you could wish to meet. They have a passion for what they do, for their superbly appointed hotel and their guests. Excellent food.
Old characterful hotel. Restaurant food was exceptional. King size room was very comfortable and worth the little extra on the price. Staff were all very good as well.
