I have eaten at this hotel three or four times, most recently on 8 May 2012. Lunch is served in the restaurant, or conservatory: both have a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The lady who was our waitress was polite and efficient. She welcomed us as soon as we arrived, and brought us menus and drinks straight away. The menu includes light... More

We've stayed a couple of times now, and it's definitely the sort of place to go back to. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The food is very good, both in the restaurant and the Bistro, and sitting in the lounge with a pint of The Grace real ale is my idea of heaven! More

Rooms are clean and tidy although most of the rooms I have stayed in are definitely in need of modernisation. There are public lounge areas within the hotel which are very pleasant and the garden area is lovely to sit outside... More

A beacon of service, quality and real ales in an area not known for any of these things. It costs though and they are not generous with their discounts – why should they be if their formulae works. The monthly draw for only a £10 (from memory) discount on a meal was rather a laugh – but we are talking... More

I drew the long straw - lovely room with view of garden. Group dinners delicious and efficiently organised. Staff kind, friendly and helpful, from top to bottom of the hierarchy. Look forward to my next visit. More

As an extended family of 17 (all ages) we got together at the Selkirk Arms to celebrate my Dad's 88th birthday and it was the perfect venue. The Burns room gave us a private gathering room , Douglas McDavid and all his staff made us very welcome and the whole event was wonderful . The food was excellent and a... More

Have just returned from a weekend staying at the Selkirk Arms. This was my first stay there and I am already planning my next. The room (8) was absolutely fine, although beds a bit soft. The facilities are fantastic and the link with the local art gallery is great and makes the walls throughout the hotel really interesting. Food is... More
