Cross Keys

The Cross Keys Inn was the perfect location for a short break in this beautiful part of Scotland with a wealth of great walks and sites within the surrounding area. Evening meals, sumptous breakfasts (and beer selection) were excellent, room was extremely comfortable and staff were so helpful and friendly. Highly recommended and we would hope to return again as the 2 days just wasn't long enough!

The hotel was so welcoming , clean and comfortable. It is recently renovated and is spotless. We had an excellent nights sleep . The food from the restaurant was excellent and ample portions. Breakfast and its service was impeccable. The owners and very friendly and want you to enjoy your stay. The area has lots of great walks, cycling and Peebles is well worth a visit.

The meal was inedible, would not recommend at all. This is the second visit and neither were good experiences. It may depend on which chef is on.

The welcome to the Cross Keys Inn was excellent . Great comfy and relaxing room. After a long journey it was great to have a wonderful shower. That evening I had booked in for an evening meal which was very tasty, breakfast was great with a super choice of cereals, yoghurt and an excellent menu of cooked breakfasts which were very tasty over the three days I stayed. Thanks very much to all staff for a very lovely break. I am going to try and come up for a few days when you have your new Pizza Oven installed in the near future.

Sometimes it is difficult to find a venue that offers everything at a 5* level, but make NO mistake the Cross Keys Ettrickbridge delivers 100% at every level. From the welcome, service from the staff, through to the food (dinner & breakfast) delivered by the kitchen. Well done to everyone at the Cross Keys you all played your part in our enjoyment! I would also like to mention the accommodation, with all bedrooms having been recently renovated and so tidy and clean…….let’s not forget the detail in the bathrooms with Laura Thomas & Co toiletries….amazing. Thanks Rory to you and your team for giving six great friends a great weekend Robert SALMOND

Just spent a delightful relaxing couple of days here. Welcoming staff, pleasant friendly atmosphere, spotless bedroom with comfortable bed and well appointed bathroom with local toiletries. Food was delicious, good choices on the menu especially liked the asparagus with prosciutto. Breakfast menu was excellent , yogurt with compote and the poached fresh eggs with mushrooms was mouth-wateringly good. All in all a lovely experience in a historic quaint coaching inn. A great buzz with the locals in the bar. We hope to return.

We stayed with friends on a Saturday night, and from the time we arrived everything was delightful. The good- great hospitality and efficient service. Food was really good, both the evening meal and breakfast were delicious and piping hot. Great selection of drinks and cocktails also available. Live folk music in the bar was incredible, top musicians. Rooms were really nicely decked out and everything is like new. Great value for money. The bad- nothing! If I was being very picky, it would be that we didn't have a shower, only a bath. But there was plenty of hot water and this was just fine. Would definitely go back!

What a lovely place to stay! Quiet, comfortable bed, great shower and toiletries and excellent food. What more does one need? The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. We ate here both evenings and were not disappointed. The fish was delicious, the burger and sauce divine, and the buttered chicken curry was excellent as were the desserts. There was plenty of choice for breakfast. Our room was small but had everything we needed including a variety of teas and coffees and biscuits. We would not hesitate to come back again if we were in the area.

We spent 2 nights at the Cross Keys whilst visiting the borders. Set in a lovely peaceful village the Inn is a lovely wee gem. We stayed in the family Kirkhope room, extremely spacious with a lovely view of the hills behind the hotel, the complementary tea and coffee with biscuits were more than generous. The staff were very welcoming and went above and beyond to help where needed. Food was delicious and the scrambled Ettrick eggs were just perfect at breakfast. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area
