Set in Ettrickbridge End, 22 km from Melrose Abbey, Cross Keys Inn Ettrickbridge offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. The property is non-smoking and is situated 25 km from Traquair House. Very happy with our stay at the Cross Keys. The room was very nice; looks to have been refurbished not too long back, and the bathroom was quite spacious. We were made to feel welcome (including the dog) and the bar/ dining room are cosy with a good atmosphere. We were fortunate that our stay coincided with a musical event one evening, which was really good. The breakfast/ food was all fine and small touches like miniature milk bottles in the room were appreciated.

This beautiful country house hotel from 1861, set in 28 acres of wonderful gardens and 4 Gold Stars (Visit Scotland) for affordable luxury 30 km from Edinburgh. The hotel was also awarded by AA as Scotland's Hotel Of The Year 2013/14. It is a fabulous old hotel that has a warm and welcoming interior and beautiful grounds. There were snowdrops everywhere! The staff are all very friendly and caring. We had booked the suite and it was amazing. The food is superb. Dinner is a tasting menu of 7 courses every night and each course was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters with their white gloves were a lovely touch too! The hotel is very close to Peebles and there are plenty lovely walks in the area. The Tapestry of Scotland is a short drive away in Galashiels and well worth a visit.
