The Red Lion - Scottish Borders

My wife , myself and 8 year old Grandaughter spent one night here so we could break up our journey on our way to Kelso . What a pity it wasn't longer . From the second we arrived the hosts could not have been nicer. We booked a meal as we were arriving early evening. Braised steak for us and Chicken For our Grandaughter. The food was fantastic. Proper home made old fashioned grub. Afterwards we spent some time in the extremely cosy lounge . Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Susie and Curt. The level of service was like nothing we have experienced before. We stayed in the large family room which like everywhere was immaculately clean and had a great sleep in the comfortable bed . I would highly recommend The Red Lion to anyone visiting this beautiful area. Only I'm not shouting too loud in case you book when we want to return.

Loved the hotel, owners couldn't do enough for you, Good hotel to visit surrounding area , lovely food as well

An excellent, well presented and tasty meal. Simple food excellently cooked. The macaroni cheese, chicken and chips and the scotch pie were delicious. Superb, friendly service. They had even decorated the table with birthday confetti. We were made to feel so welcome. Their were some moreish cakes and we had the coffee and walnut and the lemon drizzle cakes with coffee. We will definitely be back.

The best place! What a huge amount of effort Susie and Curt put into this place. The rooms are amazing spotlessly clean, huge comfy bed, lovely shower. And the friendliest hosts, even down to Hugo the dog. Thanks for a fab stay see you again soon.

Looking ffor a place to stay near Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott. Nice clean hotel, comfortable room, good bar for drinks. Suzie is a warm and friendly proprietoress. Continental breakfast was included.
