Buffet breakfast a total disaster. Plates cold and cooked items less than warm. The only think hot was the egg cooked to order .
Room was fantastic.

A lovely small town with interesting statues of Mungo Park and Walter Scott. I didnt get a chance to look at the museum. But Loch Haining is well worth a visit and the 18th century house The Haining is in a spectacular location overlooking the loch and is going to make a spectacular wedding venue when restored. I spent a lovely Friday evening walking round the loch which is five minutes walk from the centre of Selkirk

An interesting looking town that I would like to get to know better. Excellent meals out at the Fleece Inn and Kitchen and at Number One Bistro. The Riding of the Marches was on which showed the community spirit.

Selkirk is a small border town with small individual shops and cafes. We stayed 3 nights at Philipburn Hotel on the edge of Selkirk and really used it as a base to tour around other places in the borders, Floors Castle, Kelso, Melrose, Scotts View.

There's not a lot actually in Selkirk - it is suffering as are so many places with the impact of C-19, but it's a good base for Holy Island and the Roslyn Chapel.
We booked the County Hotel as it's in the centre and as we were travelling by motorcycle wanted to be at somewhere that provided food or was available in walking distance.
Sonny was an excellent host. Starting with a with a warm welcome to the hotel, Sonny's knowledge of the history of the hotel and surrounding area gave a glimpse back in time. The decor of the hotel is very traditional, warm and inviting. The breakfast was wonderful. It was a traditional Scottish breakfast served in a beautifully decorated warm, inviting dining room. The service was friendly and the food was excellent.
Location. Selkirk is a lovely place to stay. The hotel is old but looked after. Family run and although there’s no restaurant they do allow guests to bring food in from the local takeaways (the chippy is great, as is the Taste of Spice). Room was spacious and clean. Smart tv meant we could watch netflix. Staff were friendly and attentive.
The hotel was very clean and the room was great with fantastic views of the hills. Tried to do some photography in the area but weather not playing ball for me. Just meant more time in bar for food and drink.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Thanks for a great visit. I will return very soon.
Family like atmosphere with very friendly and helpful hosts. Very rural and pretty setting. Able to use the location as a base to do 2 day trips out. You are able to get an evening meal there. Charm and character in the rooms. Chance to mix with other travelers in the hotel in the evening if you wish.
Breakfast was an option, but we opted instead to use the communal refrigerator and eat a cold breakfast that we purchased at the nearby market. We were offered the use of the area for dinner if we had wanted to get takeaway. That type of flexibility is nice when you have been traveling for a while.
Our host Sonny was extremely welcoming, friendly and hospitable. The property is a majestic building which sits high above the road. Our room, though small, was clean and comfortable. Our dinners and breakfasts were delicious. Plenty of off-road parking. Enjoyed our stay.
Everything about the hotel was lovely. It was a beautiful clean room with a lovely view and the breakfast was delicious. You decided the night before from a selection of options what you would like and so everything was just as you wanted the next morning.
The food served at the County Hotel was fabulous. Both brekfast and the evening meals were cooked expertly and were more than we expected.
The staff were amazing and looked after us perfectly well. They were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
Well just about everything, we were looming for a hotel while travelling that was remote, this ticks that box 100%. Food was good, friendly staff. The night we stayed a two peice band was playing so mafe for a terrific evening.
Family run hotel and the nicest family you could wish to meet. Rooms were comfy and we both liked the decor. Great food too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and no hesitation in recommending Heatherlie House Hotel.
The inn is located in a hilly area next to a river, relatively far from villages etc, making it an ideal quiet location for nature walks and other outdoor activities.
Very good premium hotel in peaceful setting. Comfortable split level room with balcony offering views of the garden. Freshly cooked dinner was good quality
