The Tushielaw Inn, hotel in Selkirk

The Tushielaw Inn has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Selkirk. Located around 35 km from Melrose Abbey, the inn is also 23 km away from Traquair House.

A little oasis in the wild and woolly Borders with beautiful scenic surroundings. Rooms were well equipped with a warm and comfy bed. Slept like a log both nights. Breakfast was marvelous and a good home cooked menu on offer during the evening. Complimentary whiskey in the room was a nice wee touch. Alan and Sharon couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble. Loved everything about the place and can't recommend the Tushielaw Inn highly enough.

Cross Keys Inn Ettrickbridge, hotel in Selkirk

Set in Ettrickbridge End, 22 km from Melrose Abbey, Cross Keys Inn Ettrickbridge offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

This was a favorite stay on our trip. We stayed at many different places during our trip, but my kids liked this place the best. The staff was super friendly, the food was awesome, and the area was so quiet and quaint. There isn't a lot in the town, so if you are looking for shopping this may not be the place for you. We woke up and went for a long walk, the locals were very friendly and helped us find a good route. The inn was comfortable and clean. The restaurant was a surprise, we assumed basic pub food, which was not the case. It was fresh and delicious.

    We had a few hours to use before checking in to the Hotel so we went to Walter Scotts Court Room with a very entertaining guide - Julian? Also went to the museum with equally informative guide - sorry not sure of her name. Both are FREE as is the parking! Highly recoomend Peony Rose for food.

    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 was a lovely little town surrounded by lovely hills and scenery. Town had plenty lovely cafes and restaurants and shops to visit as well as attractions to visit. The Haining was a beautiful hidden gem of the town. People was super friendly too.

    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.

    Selkirk is perhaps a little over-shadowed by the Peebles,...

    Selkirk is perhaps a little over-shadowed by the Peebles, Jedburgh and Kelso within the Scottish Borders and while undoubtedly smaller should not be overlooked. There are a number of museums and Haining Park and Loch, just a few minutes' walk from the town centre, is great for woodland walks and a circuit of pretty Haining Loch. There are a few restaurants, including pub-dining, Chinese and Thai, in the town centre together with a range of take-aways. Selkirk makes a good base for a visit to the Scottish Borders and is a well-located stopping off point for a few days if travelling further north within Scotland and headling south into England.

    We had a superb room and ate in the hotel every night, all the meals were perfect and filling, breakfast was equally excellent. We have stayed in too many hotels to recall but Heatherlie House is exceptional - it is owned by the most wonderful family team who did everything they could to make our stay perfect especially Sonny who help us plan each day in order to get the most of our time. The hotel is set in the centre of number of Borders towns and is just a few minutes from the town centre

    I travel frequently and stay in a huge assortment of properties. While this hotel is still (quite rightly) exercising an abundance of caution regarding COVID-19 precautions it is not open to then general public and therefore the front desk isn't available other than for check-in/check out, so the place does tend to look closed at first sight. However, the interior, the welcome, the unpretentious hearty food and the service from the staff couldn't be better.

    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.

    Talk about location, location, location!. A glorious drive up the Ettrick valley from Selkirk, beautiful views all round from the property, and another spectacular drive through hills to Howick when we left. So peaceful. Good company in the evening with our host at the bar, with a log fire burning, and all neeeds catered for. Comfortable room, and good breakfast the next morning.

    I never usually complete surveys. This time I will as my stay was so good. The cottage was clean fresh and tidy, the rooms were roomy and light and far better than any equivalent priced hotel could ever offer, the owners provided a welcome hamper. It was a perfect place to stay in a beautiful part of Southern Scotland I will return

    The room was reasonably priced, larger than expected, spotlessly clean and the bed super comfy! Breakfast is better than any hotel I've ever stayed in. All freshly cooked to order - none of the "kept warm" or reheated stuff you so often find these days. There was a great choice, and you can add extra items FREE!

    the hotel and grounds were lovely. Our host Sonny couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok for us. We had a meal in the restaurant on the first night which was delicious, and the breakfast was very nice too. We are already planning another visit

    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.

    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 were at an Equestrian event nearby and were supposed to be camping. The hotel provided a good night's sleep and shower when we needed it at the last minute. The receptionist was really pleasant and helpful - especially as our check in was late.

    The Tushielaw Inn is a traditional inn that has escaped the relentless updating of chain establishments. Don't visit if you want a smart, modern hotel, but if the prospect of an experience evocative of past decades intrigues you, soak it up.
