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.

It was a pleasure to stay in the property. The surroundings were luxurious and very peaceful. We enjoyed the surroundings and Sunday lunch at the nearby Black Bull.

This hotel is well established and long running and you feel it here. A warm and welcome feeling upon arrival persisted throughout our four day/three night stay. We had dinner twice in the main dining room which is more formal than the pub atmosphere around the bar. The food was delicious and the white table cloth service flawless. Breakfasts in the pub area—included in our rate—were also first rate and, again, with service to match. We’d make a point of staying here again.

Lauder is a great village with everything you need.
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.
The location was perfect for an overnight stay on a journey from Edinburgh airport to Newcastle. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Good off road parking at the rear of the hotel. The room was warm and comfortable, the bed was perfect and high quality furnishings made for a great nights sleep. The bathroom was very well presented clean bright and finished to a high standard. The towels provided were fluffy and generous. Breakfast was of a good standard in terms of quality and quantity.
This is an lovely place to stay Margot was especially welcoming with our little dog . So nice to find a b&b of this quality that doesn’t mind having a well behaved dog to stay. We took a train from a nearby station 20 mins drive into Edinburgh. Enjoyed a sightseeing bus trip and then back to Lauder were we continued our journey the following day having slept in a lovely room with a comfy bed and excellent breakfast.
Had an excellent stay at the Lauderdale Hotel. The lady who runs the hotel was really friendly and the service was great. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. The bathroom was well equipped with a large shower. If I ever find myself needing accommodation in Lauder again I will definitely choose to stay here again.
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.
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.
Amazing hosts, warm and welcoming. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Full of character and very luxurious. The hotel bar is cosy and comfortable and fully stocked. Great place to stay, will definitely stay again
The flat and it’s location suited us well as a good base to travel in the Scottish Borders. We liked the town of Lauder. The flat was a good size and clean. Good shower and soft towels. We didn’t do any cooking.
Breakfast and evening meal amazing. The staff where really friendly and nothing was to much trouble. I would highly recommend the hotel and we will definitely be going back.
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.
