A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some fruits and chocolates or cookies. There is also a seating area and a fireplace. Everything about the place and the surrounding areas. Everything we wanted nice and quiet with the smiddy restaurant just down the road for your evening meals. We were greeted by the host and given a full rundown of everything of places to go and see. She was very welcoming to us both and so was her husband. Great people. They let us walk our dog in their field and in the woods across the road. Absolutely brilliant.

The Plough Inn Leitholm

Coldstream

The Plough Inn Leitholm has a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Coldstream. This 4-star inn offers free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 25 km from The Maltings Theatre & Cinema. The Hosts were so passionate about cleanliness, service, presentation, and meals. They provided a top-notch stay and made sure you had everything you needed. There is no shortage of anything. Meals were home cooked tasty meals and certainly not minimal on size. You can tell Sarah and David take great pride in what they offer and make everyone feel welcome. My husband is still raving about the egg and bacon sandwich, says it was the best he had in over 30 years if ever. I am a little jealous I didn't get one. Outstanding, 11 out of 10 !!!

Green Hope Guest House

Ellemford

Green Hope nestles in the quiet seclusion of the Whiteadder river valley in the Scottish borders.

Once a traditional stone built cottage, now thoroughly modernised and very spacious and comfortable. The windows open onto the sparkling river, a country lane and woodland walks teeming with wildlife. Truly loved my stay here. It's in such a relaxing location! The unit itself was spacious and well appointed, comfortable and calm. The hosts and their family were some of the kindest people I've met and they went out of their way to be sure I had everything I needed. 🥰 The river and the walk along the river were so peaceful -- exactly what I needed for my solo retreat. In addition to the spacious flat, there is also a lovely cabin overlooking the river and a cute little summer house that guests are allowed to use (on a first come first served basis, but I never had to wait for a turn.) An absolutely wonderful place and one I hope to return to! Also, the Scottish Borders are beautiful in every way and worthy of a visit!
