Border Hotel - Images
OUR LOCATION
Kirk Yetholm is best known as a centre for walkers. The Pennine Way Long Distance Footpath ends at the Border Hotel, a mere 268 miles north of its southern terminus in Edale, Derbyshire. Kirk Yetholm has also become a feature on the St. Cuthbert's Way, a 62 mile walk following in the footsteps of St. Cuthbert from Melrose to Lindisfarne. Those travelling the St. Cuthbert's Way might arrive in the village less wearily than walkers concluding the Pennine Way, but for both groups the Border Hotel is an extremely welcome sight.
ACCOMMODATION
The Border Hotel has five 'named' bedrooms, each offering exceptionally high standards of comfort with spectacular views over the village green or the surrounding countryside. All five rooms are as charming as they are functional, with en-suite shower and bath, flat-screen digital TV, tea and coffee facilities and radio alarm clock. Breakfasts are served from 8.00am and offer a comprehensive choice from the traditional Scottish breakfast to the popular scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. For those wishing an early start, breakfast trays are available.
PUBLIC BAR AND CONSERVATORY
The Public Bar, with its cosy log fire, is open all day and offers a range of bitters and lagers including a selection of real ales. It is a true local bar with character and charm. Being a Free House means that our selection of real ales changes frequently. The wine list is selected to complement the menu and a fine range of malt whiskies are also held in stock at all times.
We are proud to be listed in the current 'Best Pub Guide' and 'Best Beer Guide' books.
Adjoining the bar area is a spacious conservatory where patrons can relax with a drink or a meal.
A patio and beer garden can be accessed from the conservatory making it a perfect haven of relaxation for those beautiful, balmy summer days and evenings.
FUNCTION ROOM
The newly refurbished function room is used as an additional dining area at the weekends and during the week in the busy summer months. With its own private lounge area with a bar and log fire the function room makes an ideal venue for a small wedding of up to 70 people. It is also ideal for family parties, christenings, anniversaries and is popular with local businesses and charity functions as a venue for a dance night or private dinner.
Kirk Yetholm
Kirk Yetholm is a secluded and picturesque conservation village, cradled by the northern slopes of the Cheviots, seven miles south of Kelso and within one mile of the Scottish / English border.
The villages of Kirk Yetholm and Town Yetholm lie either side of the Bowmont Water. Meandering through the wide valley floor, the river is surrounded by hills with evocative sounding names such as Green Humbleton, Davie Rig, Staerough, Windshaw and Venchen.
For those who appreciate the countryside, there is an abundance of wildlife - deer, badgers, foxes, hares and birds can all be seen in their natural environment.
Kirk Yetholm and The Border Hotel make a perfect combination and base for those wishing to explore the Scottish Borders. The towns of Kelso, Jedburgh, Hawick and Berwick are all within easy reach and Edinburgh is only a 45 minute drive from Kirk Yetholm.
