Summary: Clean hotel and friendly staff
Elspeth May 25, 2026 07:28:19 PM
Summary: This place is somehow underwhelming, especially in light of how much it costs. The woman cooking dinners was clearly under pressure with orders taken after normal finish time for meals. The rice ran out ...who runs out of rice? Some staff were extremely friendly and organised other quite the opposite. Breakfast was quite shambolic with insufficient tables set for everyone and items continually running out. The options were very poor for such an expensive hotel. Sadly they don't need to worry about any of this as they gave guaranteed trade from Pennine Way and St. Cuthbert's Way hikers.

Summary: I had a very comfortable stay. The hotel is in a beautiful area and has a fascinating history. A member of staff kindly called me to advise if I wanted to pre-order dinner because I would have arrived after the kitchen closed. The meal was exquisite and a real treat. All team members encountered were very pleasant and customer-focused. Apart from minor wear and tear here and there the en-suite room was great. The full breakfast was hearty and substantial and cooked perfectly.

Summary: Very lovely staff, had a great time with my dog, they were very pet friendly and i had a wonderful fresh breakfast.
Paul Apr 1, 2026 10:12:35 PM
Summary: This was my 1st visit and I really enjoyed it. I dined here in the evening and for the breakfast, both of which were very nice indeed, lovely soup and burger for my evening meal and a cooked breakfast in the morning. If I’m nearby again I would stay here again.

Summary: Lovely cosy room and huge bathroom. Unfortunately both windows looked out onto a wall but that can’t be helped. Radiator worked well! The TV picture wasn’t particularly good but I tend to listen more than watch so it wasn’t the end of the world. The tv remote also needed more batteries. I told the staff of these things when I checked out. Breakfast was good although the times of 8am-9am were a little restrictive and I did feel rushed to depart by 10am. However, food was good, atmosphere was great and I’d stay there again

Summary: Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Summary: This is a lovely hotel with a friendly welcome. If you've been walking then you'll really appreciate the deep hot bath. There a nice bar with food service downstairs and breakfast was great.
Alicia May 9, 2025 09:24:10 PM
Summary: We stayed at the Border Hotel for a couple of nights while walking St Cuthbert’s Way. The bath was a very welcome addition to the bathroom & we certainly made use of it during our stay. The bed was a little too soft & a bit lopsided but after our hikes we slept like logs anyway. This is a no frills hotel but it had everything we needed. Hearty food & a lovely friendly team.

Summary: More supportive mattress would have been welcome. Didn’t sleep at all well. Otherwise stay was fine
