The Border Hotel

Nice hotel in perfect location with friendly and helpful staff. Nice spacious and bright room. Breakfast was more than adequate.

Reception and bar areas looked a little dark and in need of some brightening up treatment so as to look more welcoming.

Great location and comfortable

Official Hotel at The End of The Pennine Way

A little bit pricey

The apartment was very spacious, friendly staff, good food

Location

Faulty light switch in the bedroom, used bathroom light to find my way around. Staff ran the place to best suit the staff.

A simply perfect visit. Room was great, very comfy bed with lots of space. Pub down stairs was good fun. Nice local crowd in for dinner and the food was great value, and tasty. And the owners could not do enough to make sure my visit was ok.

Literally nothing.

Room was comfortable. Nice bar that served good food.

No outside windows so the room was a bit stuffy

Perfect place to stay aufter finishing the Pennine Way.

Perfect ending to the Pennine way, would highly recommend

Great location for me at the end of the Pennine Way. Friendly staff and a good breakfast.

All goog

Excellent welcome, comfortable room, lots of hot water, superb Sunday roast for dinner.

Poor breakfast. Expensive for what it offers but we are a captive audience with limited options on a busy footpath .

Beautiful, peaceful location. Very welcoming hosts. Comfortable, spotless accomodation. Exceptional food.

Personal only: found bedroom a bit claustrophobic without an outside window.

A great place to celebrate completing the Pennine Way. I had a very peaceful and uncomfortable night. The food was good and the staff were extremely welcoming.

Location and we could bring our dogs

Breakfast was at 8 and we had to leave earlier.

Good food. Tweed room was comfortable liked having a window to open.

The breakfast and location were excellent. We recommend the evening meal also. James, Julia and team were excellent hosts and made us fee very welcome.

The room was a bit hot. The skylight was the only way to let some air in.

It suited us for our walking holiday. Food at the pub was good although a little on the expensive side. Hosts were very helpful and nice.

The cost of the food and soft drinks added to the cost of the room but I guess in a small location you have to be thankful for the availability of the meals.

Great

Nothing really

Friendly inn with fantastic walking from the door. Pleaseant room with good hot water. Good pub food.

The ultimate location to stay when walking the Pennine Way as this is the official end and has the log book, certification and free half pint. Very clean and comfortable with excellent facilities and quality evening meal and breakfasts.

I couldn’t find any faults.

An excellent all round stay...

Comfortable room, great food and staff. Located at the end point of the Pennine Way. Perfect for my stay in Kirk Yetholm.

No problems.

Pretty average, comfy enough, slept ok.

Room with no view, window straight into wall of house next door. Could easily have been avoided, hotel was not full.

Lovely staff

Freezing cold. Heating off shivering in bed. Basly in need or redecoration

Lovely pub with rooms. Very helpful and friendly owners- such a nice welcome

The hearing was broken sadly, but the owners were so helpful and gave us a greater for the room so we were cosy. There was a real fire in the bar too.

It was lovely staff very friendly

Next to the borders visitors friendly

Beautifully location. Everyone very friendly and obliging. Lovely food and good portions. A great pint of Guinness too! Will definitely return.

Great location and friendly staff

Room cold, although eventually temperature problem was resolved

The property was clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The food in the pub is excellent.

A little dated in places but it did not spoil our stay.

Charming establishment through and through with thoroughly welcoming staff

Friendly , warm and comfortable

Nice and quiet

Excellent staff - very welcoming and always incredibly helpful

Location excellent for the end of the Pennine Way

Quite expensive in comparison to other hotels on the Pennine Way, but appreciate maybe that’s due to its location.

Breakfast was excellent

Got a text when I was 15 mins away that it was cancelled due to a leak which was a lot of rubbish as we were notified by someone local in the village that they were renovating the place and it had been shut looking before the day of arrival. This could have been a disaster for me as I was due to start an event the next morning in the village. They could have let me know long before the day off check in that the room was available, totally unacceptable!

Lovely location, great welcoming staff, dog friendly, comfortable room

N/A

Great location

Apart from bedroom it was cold throughout.

Lovely warm welcome after a tough day on The Cheviots. The fire was on, the beer was great, the food was tasty and our room was comfortable.

Fabulous.

Rooms a bit warmer.

Staff was pleasant and helpful, bar and meal was fine, nice real log fire in the bar, bedroom small but clean and plenty on hot water, a good size TV. Breakfast was a large cooked breakfast with options of continental breakfast, yogurts, cereals and toast, juices etc. The bedroom and en-suite was warm. Quiet location.

I would have liked a super king sized bed, which is what I have at home, the bed was a normal size double and very small and very squeaky. Which, I would have been prepared to pay a little extra for. Everything else was fine.

Na het wandelen van de Pennine Way in december heb ik overnacht in The Border Hotel. Een uitstekend hotel met ruime kamers, goede faciliteiten en bijzonder vriendelijk personeel. De sfeer is ontspannen en toegankelijk, en je kunt er bovendien prima eten.

Great location, great staff and great food and drink.

Beautiful location. Friendly staff, who upgraded our room after a misunderstanding which we were extremely grateful for. Food was pleasant. Beds very comfortable.

Would have been nice for the radiators to be turned on in the rooms before arrival as the rooms were freezing. Same in the morning at breakfast. Felt like we would not enjoy our breakfast because the room was so cold.

Good location to beautiful mountains

Single quilts on single beds. Quilts didn’t stay on

Everything

Nothing

This is a great location to stay when you come off the Pennine Way in Kirk Yetholm. It is a really friendlly pub, with accommodation above it. The pub had a real fire going which I loved.

Cosy place with great beer and grub

The Border Hotel holds a special place in our hearts. Julie and James make your stay feel personal and special. A very warm and welcoming experience.

It wasn't our first time - we come almost yearly for our friend's Diwali party. The rooms are comfortable and the staff are lovely and very helpful. The breakfast is great, nice Scottish full breakfast, all you need after a party, with plenty of coffee. The views, no matter which room you've booked, are stunning, and we always wish we had more time to explore a bit more around the area. There's also a pub if need be.

The heating didn't come on as expected, so it was a tad cool overnight. However, staff are always helpful and have taken on board any feedback we had before, so I am sure this will be fixed in no time.

Very quiet and comfortable room. James and Julie were wonderful.

A bit over my budget.

Lovely staff. Great breakfast and dinner. Nice surrounding area and easy drive in to Kelso and other Borders towns.

Really amazing family-run vibe at this place. It really feels like the community hub of the small town it is located in, and is a joy to experience.

Comfortable, spacious apartment. The bedding was good quality and and great to sleep in. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone visiting the beautiful village of Kirk Yetholm.

Lovely hotel in a quaint town, friendly staff, comfortable rooms, nice pub below

Struggled to get shower at one constant temp, fluctuated between hot and cold. Only a small window for breakfast

Friendly hosts, spacious rooms and the bath

Nothing

Location, food and owners are delightful

In a lovely location the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The bar had a nice atmosphere with a number of locals in. The bar meals were good and good value.

The decor is getting quite tired and could do with refurbishment. But it is what it is and the atmosphere is nice.

After a very wet day in the hills, there was a boot dryer available, which was wonderful. We also got a very friendly welcome from the young woman behind the bar who promptly gave us certificates for completing the Pennine Way.

Rooms very comfortable and clean staff excellent. Location fabulous

Needed some upgrading decoratively around the building

Location and character

Price - far too expensive given the nature of the room and in comparison to a similar price room I stayed in night before. Some aspects of the building restored and I found hair in the bath plug hole which I really hate.

A warm welcome from the lovely bar staff on completion of the pennine way with the traditional half pint and certificate was very much appreciated. The evening meal was decent and the portions were generous.

We had what was badged as a deluxe room (The Cheviot) at a cost of £180 for the night. Whilst the bed was large and comfy, describing the room as deluxe was bare faced cheek. Tiny gap at the end of the bed could only be walked through sideways with a projecting wall light handily placed to bash your head if going for a wee in the night. Towels literally threadbare, stains and marks on the carpet, raggedy ill fitting curtains that look like they're from the 1980's to filthy mouldy pock marked windows, a permanently fixed extension cable to the electrics, a sparse but modern bathroom no hooks for clothes, ill fitting rattly doors with a large gap to the bottom of a supposed fire door. Running a business and investigating in such a remote spot must be hard, but threadbare linen for a £180 is taking the mick.

Very comfortable stay, lovely breakfast, friendly staff. Would recommend staying here if you're finishing the Pennine Way.

Richtig schön klassisches schottisches Inn. Tradition, die man überall spürt. Nettes Pub und gutes Restaurant. Zimmer war gross und für ein Inn gut. Aufmerksames, freundliches Personal. Parkplätze direkt vor der Türe.

Die Essensauswahl und Qualität könnte noch eine Tick besser sein.

The room had everything you needed. Quality tea tray and decent breakfast.

Room unbearably hot as the window opens onto the corridor. Bathroom very tired. Evening meal very poor. Frozen battered fish. Five bean chilli was bland and claggy. No offer of condiments etc

Staff were very helpful Definitely more for hikers

Overpriced In need of redecoration....lots of chipped paint. Quite a wait for evening food which was good pub grub

Ideal situation for the end of the Pennie Way challenge. Had lovely evening meal and a great bacon butty in the morning

Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Abendessen hervorragend. Frühstück durchschnittlich.

Charming place with friendly staff. At the end of walking the whole Pennine Way, we enjoyed the luxury of a warm bath in the tub.

The bed frame was noisy. The ceiling lamp and the shower did not work.

The owners were so kind. Food was delicious. Room was very comfortable. Great location.

Nothing

A brilliant end to a amazing journey
