The White Swan Hotel

The White Swan Hotel

📍 31-32 Market Square, Duns
★★★ 8.0 (40 reviews)

"Fantastic value, a warm welcome and very comfortable accommodation. Stayed for two nights on my own. The pub is a traditional coaching inn type pub and clearly a magnet for locals, who were very evident in the bar. There was very much a sense of community, with customers greeting one another but also friendly to strangers like me. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed traditional pub fare both evenings. Staff were friendly, efficient and skilled. My room was a small twin, with a tiny but very tidy and modern shower room. The beds had fantastic mattresses (high end Ikea), which I found extremely comfortable both sleeping and sitting up on to watch telly (the latter isn't easy as I have a somewhat creaky back). The hotel is a little tired in places, but that is very much what I would expect for a historic building that hasn't had actual millions thrown at it to turn it into five stars. But where is mattered everything was well thought through and delivered. The cost for two nights B&B and evening meals with wine totalled less than a single night B&B in many other pubs with rooms. I would most definitely stay here again."

Allanton Inn

Allanton Inn

📍 Main Street, Allanton
★★★ 9.7 (68 reviews)

"We had a lovely stay at the Allanton Inn. There were lots of thoughtful extras in the room and the breakfast was excellent with good quality local produce. We would have no hesitation returning."

Chirnside Hall Hotel

Chirnside Hall Hotel

📍 nr Duns, Chirnside
★★★★ 8.9 (22 reviews)

"Excellent - we will return. Very thoughtful hotel proposition with an outstanding team. Catering and service was first rate. Dog policy was perfectly sensible and other establishments in the Borders can learn from this! We look forward to returning next year."

The Wheatsheaf Hotel and Restaurant

The Wheatsheaf Hotel and Restaurant

📍 Main St, Duns, Swinton
★★★★ 9.2 (62 reviews)

"A couple of nights. Our favourite was the first when we got to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant. The room was good. Perhaps a bit dated (who uses a DVD player?). The bed linen was frayed and one of the blind toggles was missing but the bed was comfortable and the shower nice. All very clean. The meals were good enough and we'd be happy enough to eat (and stay) here again. Filling pub food. The hotel's location was good too for exploring this end of the Borders"

Green Hope Guest House

Green Hope Guest House

📍 Ellemford, Duns
★★★ 10 (4 reviews)

"We spent a lovely weekend at GreenHope and had a really great weekend. Alison and Bill were so hospitable and kind and the accommodation was top class. A lovely little semi detached bungalow with a full working kitchen with all mod cons, a sitting room and bedroom with en suite shower and toilet. It was immaculate and spotless and the surroundings were like something from a movie. Patio doors from the sitting room leading out to a patio had the most spectacular view looking onto a flowing river between two rolling glens. Absolutely breathtaking. Alison allowed us to park our car right next to the bungalow too so it was super convenient. The peace and tranquility was priceless and just what we needed after having a hectic Christmas and New Year period. We booked again for 6 weeks time as seeing the area in Spring will be spectacular. If you like stargazing then this is the place too. One clear evening gave us the most dazzling curtain of stars and I imagine in Spring the milky way could be spotted. Duns is only a 15 minute drive if you need supplies or want to go for lunch or dinner which we did and enjoyed it to no end. Its great value for money and at only an hour away from Edinburgh you can enjoy the most peaceful and resting retreat imaginable. Whether youre from Scotland or further afield Green Hope is a must for those looking for a quiet break away from city life."

The Coach House

The Coach House

📍 Allanbank Courtyard Allanton, Berwickshire, Duns
★★★ 10 (1 reviews)

"The Coach House is in a quiet secluded location between Chirnside and Allanton. It's extremely peaceful and a great place to relax and unwind. The cottage is spacious and comfortable with all the amenities you need for your stay. Liz is very helpful and was available to answer any questions. It's a perfect place to stay for the Jim Clark Rally and I highly recommend it!"

The White Swan Hotel ★★★
"I'm staying for 2 nights again. Working at Farne Salmon n Trout factory. The hotel is a bit tired, but decorators are in just now smartening up the place. Stayed here for 2 nights, 2 weeks ago. Back for 2 nights again. Room needs gutted, especially the bathroom. This seems to be in hand as new owners, I believe. Staff are amazing. Girls behind the bar are superb. Breakfast girl is just 1st class. Had a dinner 2 weeks ago. Hot food on a cold plate. Sorry, but that's just not on. Told Jan on my 1st visit. 2nd visit, same again. Food is cooked so well. In fact, the food is bloody brilliant. Such a shame my complaint has fallen on deaf ears. PUT HOT FOOD ON A COLD PLATE. THE HOT FOOD TRIES SO HARD TO HEAT UP THE PLATE THAT ITS ON, THAT IT'S COLD IN 10/15 MINS. A CHEF REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW THAT. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Great bar. Sky sports. Great staff. So friendly. Please get the simplest of things right. The breakfast girl did this morning. Heat the plate up before putting food on it. It's just so easy. My only moan about here. My friend Gordon R would be horrified. I've secured a good contract at Farne up the road. I'm off to the chippy tonight cos they don't have cold plates. Please take heed of this review. It's so easily dealt with. I will be back. Cheers. Cookie."

Allanton Inn ★★★
"We had dinner here last night (26.6.26) in this lovely Inn. We had seafood salad and pressed ham hock for starters and we both had haddock and chips for mains. The food was beautifully presented and delicious with great service. We loved that local producers were supported throughout the menu. There is also a great beer garden out the back. We will definitely return and recommend."

Chirnside Hall Hotel ★★★★
"We have been coming back to Chirnside Hall Hotel for many many years. It is a great place to go out and visit the beautiful Scottish borders countryside, the coast and it's many castles and estates. Close to Edinburgh and Newcastle it is very easy to access from the European continent by air and over sea. And Chirnside offers great experiences for those who love fieldsports and dogs are very welcome."

"Can’t thank the staff at the Wheatsheaf enough for making our family get together so great. We were a party of 18 and a dog and the staff couldn’t have been anymore accommodating."
