While staying in a nearby b&b, this place was recommended for an evening meal. We had a warm welcome and enjoyed the food - nicely washed down with a pint of top locally brewed real ale! The village of Denholm is really charming with a large green in front of the inn. Plenty of free parking!

Visited the Auld Cross Keys for dinner when staying nearby. After receiving a very warm welcome from the owners, we were spoiled for choice and had delicious starters and main courses - sampling the excellent locally sourced meat. Well worth a visit if in the area hope to return to the Borders for a longer stay and will certainly revisit... More

We were staying at the Coachman's House and Denholm was just a short drive away, came across the Auld Cross Keys and decided to have lunch. We had a main course and sweet, absolutely delicious. Excellent service. Made to feel very welcome.

Booked by my Company as I needed an overnight stay after a visit to Edinburgh. Good accomodation, good food and welcoming management. A lovely place to stay I fully recommend this Inn and the Borders area is beautiful.

Lots of pubs / restaurants in the Brders close every Monday night but not the Auld Cross Keys. The standard menu didn't look up to... More

Two great nights of service and food. Tremendously cooked and presented. Such a range on the specials board. Highly recommended! Thank you to the Owner for making us so welcome. A warm and friendly place after a days walking on the hills amd sightseeing.
