The location was perfect for us on our way to the airport. We wish we could've stayed a bit longer. Everything was absolutely lovely and delightful, from the decor, to cleanliness, to comfort, the staff, the peace and quiet.

Lauder is a great village with everything you need. Spotty Dog for coffee and a Scotch egg, Flat Cat Gallery for gift shopping and cake. There is a butchers, post office, pharmacy and co-op. As well as a beautiful church, castle and surrounding areas with lots of history and natural beauty. An underrated gem

Excellent accommodation within a beautiful building of great historical significance and set in magnificent countryside. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the castle tour. Our guide (Norman) had a wealth of knowledge with regard to both the castle itself and the Maitland family who have occupied it over the centuries.

The location was great for visiting the Scottish Borders.
The location was great for visiting the Scottish Borders.
A good variety of places in Lauder to dine out.
There is good bus services to Edinburgh + other towns in the Borders.
The bus stops are just outside the apartment.
We had the best stay! The hotel was juts perfect. Felt very luxurious but laid back at the same time. The food was incredible and staff super attentive. Lauder itself is a lovely little village with everything you need. We went on some lovely walks with our dog and just 30 min drive from Edinburgh. Wish we’d stayed longer!
Lovely clean self-catering flat very near the centre of Lauder. For two people it was ideal. There was a small shop nearby and a larger Coop slighyly farther away (we were walking). The host was extremely helpful. When a little snag occurred, someone arrived within ten minutes to help out. A very pleasant atmosphere.
Amazing stay! We stayed in the sculleries, the rooms were extremely comfortable, very clean. The castle is set in lovely grounds, a great place to unwind. We couldn't have asked for anything better. The location was ideal for exploring the local area. The Black Bull in Lauder was a great place to eat out.
Lauder was our base and we visited several tourist attractions up to an hour’s drive away.
The apartment was very comfortable and we so enjoyed our stay. Three very large bedrooms and bathrooms all of a very high standard. Walked the castle and river walks. They even opened the gift shop for us.
I am a retired professional chef and hotel manager for Hyatt hotels and rarely am I so impressed with a facility to the degree that I am with the Black Bull. If the opportunity presents itself you must stay here and will not be disappointed whatsoever.
The staff were very friendly. The food was excellent. The room was spotless. The location is ideal for exploring The Borders and is within easy reach of Edinburgh and the Lothians and also Northumberland. I happily recommend this excellent hotel.

Lovely property, decorated beautifully with a superb shower.
Two good size double rooms.
Everything we could needed was provided. We travel to Lauder a couple of times a year and this was one of the best accommodations we have stayed in.
The hotel was excellent, very nice interior, well appointed, comfortable room, excellent food, great service and friendly staff and owners. A great base for exploring the Scottish Borders. I would gladly stay again if in the area.
The most friendly and welcoming hosts you could wish to meet. They have a passion for what they do, for their superbly appointed hotel and their guests. Excellent food.
Old characterful hotel. Restaurant food was exceptional. King size room was very comfortable and worth the little extra on the price. Staff were all very good as well.
