After an all night flight and a grueling drive down from Glasgow airport to attend a wedding in Melrose, we couldn't have been happier on arrival at the Philipburn. The man on the front desk was very welcoming and helpful, answering questions, booking us a taxi, giving directions and even filling out the form to sign up for the Best... More

I stayed in one of the self catering lodges called Little Philipburn it was excellent. The lodge was very comfortable and beautifully furnished with two single beds and a very good kitchen. Superb flat screen TV. The only complaint was the table was barely big enough for one to eat at let alone two which is the number of people... More

We stayed for weekend in October on a B & B basis. Room 2 was lovely,very clean, freshly decorated with large en suite. Double four posted bed very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent- plenty of choice. Ate in bistro both nights as menu was extensive and food cooked to perfection. Staff were very helpful. No complaints at all. Would stay again. More

Our annual party of exuberant pensioners chose the Philpburn this year. I must admit some doubts about the prospects of a long weekend in Selkirk, But this family run hotel sets a standard which VisitScotland could well use to show how small relatively inexpensive hotels should be run, Very clean, well run, excellent staff and good food. No pretentions to... More

This Hotel has treated us very badly. We have never ever had to make a complaint regarding any Hotel sadly untill now. No written information given re tarriffs, when we informed Hotel staff on arrival we will not be able to make breakfast, they failed to inform us we would be charged anyway. When paying our bill , during check... More

You were quoted 2 tariffs one being room only the other bed and breakfast. You booked your stay on the bed and breakfast tariff. This was confirmed to you verbally on receipt of the booking on...

Stayed one night on way to Edinburgh. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful from arrival to departure. The hotel was very clean throughout. We dined in the hotel's bistro which had a small but varied menu and the quality of the food and service could not be faulted. Now the but! If you are going to stay... More

We visited this hotel as guests of two friends who had been there twice before and rated it very highly. When we arrived they were greeted as long lost friends and we were shown both rooms that were booked so we could make a choice. Both rooms were pretty amazing. Co-ordinated and stylish furnishings and very well decorated. The room... More

We originally wanted to stay in Edinburgh but due to the Fringe all hotels were booked but in hindsight we were glad they were. Staff were very friendly and room was beatifully decorated and more than met our needs. Food was excellent in the Bistro and proved excellent value for money. If you are staying for a few days and...

We visited Selkirk to day hike in the Borders area, and this hotel was ideally located in the middle of many attractions. The couple who own the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful, and we found the "self-catering" opportunity to offer an ideal counterpoint to the excellent breakfasts and dinners in their restaurant. The hotel also has three friendly yellow... More

Thank you for your review. As you decribe Selkirk is centrally located within the Scottish Borders and is ideal for visiting the local area or even North Northumberland or Edinburgh. The self catering lodges are very popular due to the reasons you describe and also for the fact that we allow dogs within them. Brook, Lucy and Tyne welcome all... More
