“The Best Option in Selkirk”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The county hotel is located bang in the middle of this small town and has private parking to the rear. Rooms have obviously been improved upon of late and its clear that the scandinavian hosts are making a real effort here. My double room (for single occupany) was spacious and quaint. The ensuite bathroom was very small but well equipped and functional with nice toiletries provded foc. The bed was quite springy but i slept well so no complaints there. Some may be bothered by the proximity to the road. I ate at the italian restaurant adjacent and owned by the hotel and took breakfast in the morning - both where of a good standard. The hotel has an attractive and peaceful bar area for relaxing with a beer or glass of wine.

There's little to attract the visitor to Selkirk but if your passing through, the County Hotel makes a pleasant stay for a night or two,

“A pleasant surprise!”

We booked this knowing very little about the hotel (except previous reviews). We have stayed in some run-down hotels in Scotland .... but this certainly was not! We found our room comfortable, the staff extremely friendly and the food (breakfast and dinner) good.

“Friendly little hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2010

We stayed one night in this hotel, we were given the last room that was available - the staff were very friendly & helpful, our room (number 6) was clean & comfortable with two double beds, nice modern decor, t.v & ensuite shower. There wasn't any view from the window's - but then we didn't book this hotel looking for a view!! Breakfast was very nice, freshly prepared with a good selection to choose from.
Our only gripe was the price at the bar - almost £12 for three gin & tonics, so we went to the pub down the road.

“Very comfortable small hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2010

We found the staff very friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable with some nice touches like a bathrobe and "au lait" toiletries. The room decor was slightly tired but we noticed that one of the rooms was undegoing redecoration during our stay. We ate at both the Willow Brasserie and La Contea bistro and had an excellent meal in both. Breakfast offered a wide choice of food for such a small hotel. Our room faced the main street but it was surprisinly quiet for an A road.
We found Selkirk a good centre for exploring the Border area and the staff at the nearby tourist information office were very helpful.
We had our bicyles with us and spent a very enjoyable time following the some of the many clearly signposted cycle routes routes in the area.
