We recently enjoyed a weekend break at the Philipburn Country House hotel, and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. With a couple of reservations, we would certainly recommend it for location, comfort and friendly, helpful and caring staff and management. In particular, Sharon should be praised for her extremely pleasant manner, and her helpfulness in suggesting places to visit. The Scottish... More

This hotel is a little gem. Attention to detail has really been at the forefront here. You can see that thought has been put into the rooms regarding where plugs need to be etc, its a real pain when you have to climb under things on the floor or move furniture to plug a hairdryer in!! The owners are very... More

We were so glad we chose this hotel for a short break in the Borders: the standards of accommodation, hospitality and service are exceptionally high and enabled us to have a really enjoyable stay. Our room (on two levels) was really very comfortable, it had a spacious bathroom and was well-equipped. We enjoyed excellent food on both evenings when we... More

We needed somewhere which allowed pets for an overnight stay in the Borders on our way up to Scotland and again on the way back. This was a real find! It was really well positioned just out of Selkirk so quiet. We had a dog friendly lodge which was really comfortable and spacious and fully self catering, if required. We... More

The Philipburn Hotel is the perfect place for a relaxing stay. The Hotel has obviously been refurbished to a very high standard and everything is spic and span. The Staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was a problem. The food was excellent and well presented.
