"We keep returning to stay and eat here a number of times. Never fails to impress. Always a warm welcome, great rooms, fresh and inspiring menus (dinner & breakfast). This time we enjoyed freshly baked pizzas outdoors with amazing views across the fields & countryside. Hope to go back again soon."

"Stayed at the White Swan recently for 4 nights. We were in a group of 5. We had a great stay here using the hotel as a base. Breakfast was fantastic with a great choice. We also ate here in the evening and the food was excellent, each evening had specials on the menu, Sunday was our favourite with turkey and all the trimmings. Rooms were perfect for what we required and the beds were very comfortable. The staff made this stay with each and every one pleasant to speak to and service was exceptional. If we are back in the area next year we wont look anywhere else for accommodation."

"We’ve just had two nights here with our doggies and would definitely recommend it! A lovely cosy pub/hotel with a relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff. We stayed in the cottage which is about a 30 second walk from the main building with roadside parking outside the door. We were so pleasantly surprised with the cottage! Spacious, well equipped, clean and just really nicely done. It even has a back garden which was handy for letting out our dogs. Food was delicious, good portion sizes and brilliant service and very fairly priced and they had a very good range of drinks at the bar. We would 100% stay here again. The only potential downside is that there isn’t much around, we drove about 10 minutes to a co op…BUT that did mean that the village itself was really quiet which we love :) Perfect for a relaxing get away!"

"Built in 1863 as a holiday retreat for a local entrepreneur, Chirnside Hall has survived all that has afflicted the Scottish Borders since - the weather, political upheavals and economic constraints. Since 2000, the development into a fine boutique hotel and seasonal hunting lodge has been the passion of Dutchman, Christian Korsten and his team. If you are looking for a cosy, comfortable and personal venue, then you should be more than pleased. The welcoming smiles are genuine, as is the determination to deliver an up-market experience. The décor is a stylish meld of antique and Harris Tweed modern, with proper linen napkins at table. As for food, the dinner menu changes daily, with meals that would earn gold stars at other establishments; a 'Full Scottish' is a real breakfast challenge; and the picnic lunch option a delight. Not only did Kirsty the chef demonstrate a thorough understanding of my coeliac limitations, she provided special gluten-free treats for me that were the envy of my friends (thank you Kirsty). For our elderly Border Terrier, he found the stairs to the top floor an effort, and some times needed carrying. So if you are planning to visit with a four-legged family member, this may be a consideration. Yet, there was even attention to detail for him, with a crate in the room, bowls and dog treats. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable trip, which we recommend whole-heartedly. "

"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!"

"Wonderful setting in beautiful surroundings. A perfect peaceful getaway! Accommodation is pet friendly, spacious with all amenities, with fantastic hosts. Ideally situated for days out to the coast or exploration more inland."
