The Gordon Arms in Scottish Borders - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Outstanding Sunday lunch Potted shrimp and smoked mackerel and local charcuterie as starters Beef rib , lamb Barnsley chop mains. Rhubarb crème brûlée pud Other alternatives on a varied but not , fortunately, overly extensive menu based primarily on locally sourced ingredients. This is not a pile it high with everything Sunday lunch, ( although generous in a normal sense) this is exquisite finely crafted food. I have not had better in the area , or probably elsewhere. I am kicking myself for not visiting earlier. Along with the food the service is excellent welcoming and kind. Beautiful location and restaurant, and despite its history it is restaurant with rooms rather than a traditional pub , but there is a small bar area. Booking strongly recommended -all tables taken. Lunch £36- 42 for 3 courses excluding drinks - worth every penny and more.

2 lovely hosts, nothing was too much, late arrival was no issue, kitchen closed, no issue made us a lovely snack & glass of wine really would recommend to anyone Oxana & Brynn & staff were genuine,caring people ,who I’ll be back to see in the future & have no hesitation at all in recommending the gem to all .

We are a well traveled couple with a passion for food, and have dinned in eateries all over the world, and have sampled some amazing dishes from various cuisines, so we consider ourselves self confessed foodies, with a seasoned palate. We live in the Scottish Borders and have some amazing award winning eateries, but for us “The Gordon Arms” is by far the best in the whole of the Scottish Borders and we can say that confidently has we have eaten in them all. Bryn, your food speaks for it’s self, but WOW you have earned the “Chief’s Kiss” The Yarrow Valley Venison Wellington, with red wine jus, roasted potatoes, and savoy cabbage, is now my all time best dish. The Yarrow Valley Venison Wellington was cooked to perfection, it just melted in the mouth and was like slicing through butter. Please this must remain a staple on the menu. Not forgetting Oxana, the amazing hostess. She’s very attentive, friendly and nothing is to much trouble, but she’s more than an hostess, she’s an amazing baker the most Devine Honey Cake - A well deserved Bakers Kiss, you and Bryn are definitely a match made in heaven. If you’re traveling through the Scottish Borders to your destination please consider a little detour and pop in for lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed.

An overpriced menu for the actual offering. Soggy chips. Butratta cold not room temperature. Portions meagre. Service was good and friendly. It was a mixed bag of both food and emotions. I like to come away feeling satisfied and happy but was not.

Ideal stop over spot . Decided to break our journey from Inverness to Skipton and was recommended to go to the Gordon Arms. It was delightful, the rooms are basic but perfect for the price. Dinner was exceptional, everything was delicious and the menu well thought out. Would thoroughly recommend

Nestled in the scenic Yarrow Valley, our recent visit to The Gordon Arms Restaurant with Rooms was like reconnecting with an old friend. This marked our 6th or 7th return since the new owners took over, and each time feels like a warm embrace. We decided to try their November 5-course tasting menu and wine flights, and it was nothing short of delightful. The chef's expertise shone through in every dish, turning our evening into a simple yet heartwarming experience in the heart of the Scottish Borders. What makes The Gordon Arms truly special is the consistent warmth in their welcome and the genuine care in their service. It's more than a restaurant; it's a place that feels like a comforting retreat. And here's the lovely surprise – the November 5-course tasting menu with wines was just £48 per person. A humble touch that makes this gem in the Scottish Borders not just a place we return to for the food but for the down-to-earth charm and value it brings to every visit. A genuine 5-star find that keeps us coming back with a smile.

If I could rate this place lower than a 1 I absolutely would. We called to make the booked as it was one of few places that accepted dogs in the area during our lodge break. The women took our booking but didn’t disclose that there was a minimum spend per person of £23. This also was the same terms for our toddler. We arrive to find out the minimum spend and that they have no kids menu. So after being seated we decided that the minimum spend for a child who wouldn’t have ate anything from the extremely posh menu was too much and we’d just have drinks and leave the women who sat us down acted appalled and aggressive started clearing our table whilst we were still sat with drinks. After clearing the table she took herself behind the bar where she stood and stared at us until we paid and left. I must add the place only had 1 other couple so it’s not as if we took up a place. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant before. Won’t be back!

Saturday lunch - a fantastic meal and top service. The menu is dominated by local produce. We went for three courses for just over £30 which is a great deal, especially when the cooking is as good as this. Seriously excellent food cooked by a proper chef who also popped out to say hello - all part of the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I fully recommend this place - well worth a drive up the spectacular Yarrow Valley. They also do a takeaway service so you can enjoy the same quality at home.

What a wonderful 3 days we spent for our anniversary at the Gordon Arms. We were treated like royalty with nothing too much trouble. The food was exceptional cooked by an extremely talented award winning chef. Front of house was catered for by his partner who ensured our stay was both pleasurable and very relaxing. Rooms were spotless but the food was the best we have ever had. Thank you Bryn, Owana and there very small but dedicated team. Brilliant - and we'll be back!

I have visited the Gordon arms twice this year, once for food and once for a stay over in room 3 and food. It is a lovely quiet location with excellent food and rooms. The hosts are most welcoming and very hospitable. At breakfast I ordered extra toast half way through and it came in time to finish our breakfast, including their own made jam. Our evening meal was amazingly delicious (local venison) and service was friendly and speedy. The view from our room was also amazing if you take away the dreaded Scottish weather. Overall an amazing experience, oh and not to forget the great choice of wines!

What a wonderful dinner after a year’s break. Visiting Scottish Borders and could not think of a better way to start our holiday. Even in pouring rain it was cosy, inviting and hospitable. We had a wonderful dinner which was a great value. Dishing were perfectly cooked. Hard to say what was the best. Service was personal. Can’t wait to go back.

We have just returned from a fabulous family stay . We were given the private room for dinner and the food was outstanding. We were given a wonderful welcome and the rooms were lovely too. Look forward to returning

What a lovely place to stay, the Room was lovely the food was Great and the staff are wonderful and so friendly I would recommend it to anyone, thankyou for a lovely experience

Gourmet Food in an idyllic valley - we were cycling the LEJOG (Lands End to John O'Groats) passing through the Yarrow Valley and stayed over so needed evening meal a good room and breakfast too. The Gordon Arms is excellent for two hungry cyclists who appreciate fine food! Bryn and Oxana made us very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed - including allowing me to charge my e-bike in a secure location.

We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant recently, while in the area to watch the UCI Cycling World Championships. There were 4 of us and our elderly dog in his buggy. We all ate something different and everyone enjoyed their meal, but the dish that received the most praise was the creme brulee with rhubarb which my daughter had. She said it was so light and creamy with the best caramalised sugar topping she had ever tasted. We heard about it a lot on the journey home! Sadly no photos.

We stayed at the Gordon Arms whilst visiting the area. It is in a stunning setting. The rooms are very clean and tidy and comfortable. The food was beautiful and the staff are warming, fun and very helpful. I shall be back!

We recently enjoyed an evening at The Gordon Arms where we stayed in a very comfortable room and ate extremely well at both dinner and breakfast. The room was beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds and good quality linen. The room was simply decorated but had everything we needed. Everything was spotlessly clean. Even though we were at the front, the road was very quiet so we enjoyed a wonderful nights sleep even with the window open. Dinner was an experience. The choice was very good and beautifully cooked and presented. Breakfast the same. The choice of wines were excellent too. Overall, the ambience was lovely and we were made to feel very welcome from the hosts. The surrounding countryside is second to none and although we were both reasonably local to the area we enjoyed the change of scene and what the area has to offer. The inn has been freshened without losing the character and timelessness that is its special feature. We wish the owners Bryn and Oxana every success. Please keep on doing what you are doing already as it is a winning formula. We will def be back to stay again.

A warm welcome. Comfortable very well equipped bedroom and amazing food for both dinner and breakfast. Highly recommended

As promised we visited the Gordon Arms again. This time we stayed in one of their very comfortable and newly refurbished rooms for two nights. We had two excellent dinners with great choices of wine. This visit reminded us how lucky we are to have found a new quality restaurant with rooms in the Scottish Borders.

On arrival we were greeted with a warm welcolme by a cheery lady. Presentation of the restaurant was clean & attractive. The prices are not cheap but in the end we both decided to go for the Roast Beef, priced at £23 + a supplement...

Me and my partner went for some dinner which we was greeted from oxana who made us feel very welcome and comfortable we was then seated down at our table where the workers had polite conversation and asked for our order which came within a...

Myself and my husband had an excellent Sunday roast, the beef was so tender (melt in your mouth) served with gorgeous Yorkshire puddings just waiting to get dipped into the delicious gravy also served with fresh broccoli and glazed carrots. The service is warm and friendly with plenty contact from staff and owners. Oxana (owner) is an excellent host, makes you feel very welcome, also a nice touch when Chef/owner Bryn comes to the table to ask if your meal was enjoyed, to which we both said YES. The restaurant is very well presented and stylish. We will be back often.

First time back to theGordon Arms after it was taken over by the new owners. It won’t be the last. Dinner was really delicious. Potted shrimp was so good and the French style peas I had with my lamb were immense - best I’ve ever...

We drove out for a meal, after reading the reviews , and weren’t disappointed. Atmospheric bar and restaurant with cracking log fires . The staff were very friendly especially the lady who liked a good laugh and was extremely helpful . Delicious food ,beautifully presented...

Food was nice but thought it was a bit pricey for what we had to be honest. Cannot fault the food but it was nothing special.

We very much enjoyed our most recent meal here. Very friendly and welcoming owners , stunning location and a relaxing atmosphere. The food was really excellent , fresh, local, tasty and well presented. I’m sure we’ll be back soon.

Hubby and I had a last minute, one night stop over last night (25/11/2022). The hosts could not have been anymore welcoming 👍 Very friendly, very relaxed but maintained just the right amount of professionism. Our room was beautiful. Very big bed, very comfy bed....and...

What a stunning area. Top level food for dinner and breakfast. The best hosts. Lovely rooms. This is a place you come to for overnight stays and top food. The owners have not been here for long but are making their mark. Locals who were...

We had a lovely lunch beside the open fire on a wild and rainy day. The owners of the old coach inn Bryan and Oxana Jones are very welcoming and have established a warm and friendly establishment with excellent food. Their ethos is providing seasonal,...

I have dined twice at the Gordon Arms Restaurant in Yarrow Valley, near Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders. The menu is sophisticated, the dishes that my friends and I ordered were delicious, the service excellent, and the setting cozy (a fire in the fireplace and...

It is so nice to have a restaurant like this so close to home. This is the 2nd time we have visited and once again the menu was interesting and the food so full of flavours! The gazpacho was bursting with summer herbs, and the...

A delightful restaurant, with comfortable rooms and bar, in a historic coaching inn in the Scottish borders. Fantastic food: with an interesting variety of main dishes, including a mouth-watering pork dish, and local, seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection (a highlight being the courgette flowers in...

I can’t speak for the rooms but the food was very good. Lots of local produce and the chef knew what to do with it. The couple who run it now were friendly and keen. Reasonable selection of wines and alcohol free beer. Will return.

Stopped for Sunday lunch on way to St Marys loch. £22 min spend pp on one course. Food was OK , triple cooked chips are lovely. Its pricey for what you receive, as we all still felt hungry after our mains. It's nice to see...

We have been here before but this is the first time since Bryn and Oxana Jones took ownership. Some things have not changed. It’s still in the same beautiful setting and our room, which was a twin, was just as nice as I remember previously....

Fabulous meal. Great friendly service. Really top quality ingredients and a chef who really knows what he’s doing. Also the desserts are to die for. We had soup and smoked salmon for starters. The soup had a real depth of flavour and was deliciously rich....

Pleasant establishment in a lovely scenic location. BUT, all mains cost £22. So £22 for a risotto, or a burger even if venison? What a turn off. To make matters worse, the minimum charge is £22! So starter and dessert cost £22. Sea bass of...

What a gem! Fantastic service, location and food you still talk about days later. We love good food and great service and this did not dissapoint. Many thanks.

We had read the reviews of this recently refurbished restaurant by new owners and were keen to visit. We had originally just gone for the bar menu but looked at the restaurant menu and decided to upgrade. At £32 for three courses it’s not particularly...

My wife and I visited the Gordon Arms for lunch on the 3rd June. We had a super meal and were looked after very well by the staff.

Had two lovely nights here in the Yarrow Valley. Bryn and Oxana are great hosts well assisted by Tom and Neil who are a font of local information. Dinner was excellent and breakfast delicious. I wish them well in their new venture. The Yarrow valley...

We're locals, well, the next valley over and this is the first time we've eaten here since Bryn and Oxana took over. Overall great food, quite expensive for this area, but lovely atmosphere. Only thing we'd say is maybe change the menu more often for...

We have just stayed for 2 nights at The Gordon Arms Restaurant with Rooms in Yarrow Valley. What a find! We had a wonderful 2 days in the Yarrow Valley and it was a real delight to return to The Gordon Arms each night under...

It was a pleasure to return to the Gordon Arms under the new management and supervision of Bryn and Oxana. We travelled to the hotel on Saturday evening in beautiful weather and Yarrow Valley looking it’s best. The hotel has been refreshingly and sensitively redecorated...

Food was nice if not a bit sparse and at £22 each for Sunday lunch a little over priced in my opinion Overall place was very country and well to do

I stayed here for one night while walking the southern Upland Way, booked through Absolute Escapes. My room was excellent, modern, well furnished and spotlessly clean - very comfortable. My hosts were friendly, what a lovely place. The evening meal was excellent. I don't usually...

Gorgeous hotel, delightful room, tasteful decor, beautiful resteraunt. Great food and outstanding staff.

Went on the basis of all the fantastic reviews on here. Our experience was nothing approaching the reviews hereunder! A dreadful disappointment - and a very poor start to our holiday in the Borders. The house special - beefsteak pie- was not up to supermarket...

Had an evening meal. Food was luvly, staff very helpful & friendly. Great value for money. All precautions in place for current situation. Would highly reccomend.

The food was beautiful. When touring on bikes we were happy to sit outside, but when it looked like it was going to rain they made space for us to sit inside. We charged our head lights, phones and ourselves after a steady uphill climb...

We had lunch which was lovely so decided to take the family for dinner next day and was not disappointed Service was first class and the food was very good.

Great meal at short notice with a very welcoming waiter. Four really good well cooked dishes -gammon, lamb and steak, and very tasty desserts. Good compliance with covid measures- temp checks on entry as well as abundant hand sanitiser and screens. Beautiful pub in a...

Well, the Gordon Arms is setting my new standard for excellence! We booked for one of the Friday night gigs. Due to a slight car accident, we had no transport so phoned the Gordon. The barman offered to pick us up and take us there...

Pre-booked at meal for 13 people for a Friday night in September. The owners were very welcoming and quick to sit us down and get us drinks. Even though we had not been requested to pre-order there was no delay from ordering until the 1st...

Good food , good price , quick service. attentive staff and friendly management. Small variations to the menu were no problem. Seems a well run place , was busy but that did not cause delay

We chose here for our last meal of the holiday. Good choice! The drive to this lovely pub in a remote setting was so scenic. We had veg stir fry, burger, onion rings, AF Erdinger and a craft ale which came to under £28. We left with our bellies full and our hearts warmed by the welcome and service.

13 friends were booked in for an evening meal. We all really enjoyed our food. Our meals were served one after the other and were piping hot. Two courses each were all we could manage. Service was very good. Would highly recommend.

We and some friends had an excellent evening meal. All the meals were delicious and the staff were really friendly.

We stopped for lunch on a very wet Saturday. We were the only ones in the bar with a dog and there was one table filled in the restaurant. We all opted for the special Cullen Skink which was very good. The service was very friendly and efficient and we were told it was unusually quiet. Have to say we drove past a week later on our way home and it certainly looked very busy for lunch on a much better day.

A lovely place in a remote setting. Can very strongly recommend - wonderful food and very comfortable night. Staff were great and made our stay memorable.

Asking to accommodate a group of 14 at an hour's notice would phase some places, but the Gordon Arms could not have been more welcoming. Service was friendly, food was tasty and well cooked. Odd requests were met with a cheerful smile and everyone enjoyed their meal. Will certainly call again if we find ourselves in this beautiful part of Scotland

Prachtige streek, super vriendelijk ontvangst, mooie sfeervolle kamer, gezellige bar, bijzonder lekker eten en volledig Schots ontbijt.Een aanrader, kom zeker terug

Stayed 2 nights midweek in Double & Twin rooms (shower gel & shampoo supplied in en-suites)

My husband and I were staying at Broadmeadows Farmhouse b&b; recently and the Gordon Arms was recommended as a good place to eat by our host. I'm so pleased she told us. This has to be one of the best restaurant meals we have eaten. Not a crumb left on either plates and that is very unusual for myself. Would certainly look forward to visiting again when next in the area.

Had lunch here yesterday and had a warm welcome from Tom the barman . The food was excellent . Very friendly and great atmosphere . I shall be back and will definately recommend here if you want a great meal and to hear Tom,s banter and his knowledge of the local area .

Food upto the usual high standard. 3rd visit this holiday and certainly the best. Tom you are amazing

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime whilst on holiday with our two Border Collies. Lovely clean pub and very dog friendly. Good choice of items on the menu. We had steak and ale pie which was lovely - meat was perfectly cooked, and served with a selection of vegetables. Reasonable price and very good service. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

Not only great food, felt like being at a friends house too. The owners are so very welcoming and helpful. Historic building but so fresh and up to date. A fabulous place to stop for a meal or stay for a visit. Breakfast is just so good. And a function room for an event too. I can’t sing the praises enough for visiting here, the views and walks are amazing. This is just what I’d love about a local inn. Well worth stopping by or staying at. You won’t regret it and will leave feeling like one of the family. 10/10

We stopped here as a random visit when passing on the way back to the caravan site we were staying on.

We recently enjoyed an evening meal of fish chips and side salad delicious. The triple icecream to follow was excellent. We can highly recommend this inn set in beautiful surroundings.

Parking is a bit of a problem with some extra spaces at the old petrol station. The interior is bright and new after the 2015 fire rebuild. A spacious interior with a bar area and a dining area. We were quickly seated and served. The food was excellent and the price was reasonable. A popular inn with plenty of walkers, motorbikers and locals. Also a hotel and a good base for exploring the area. Great views of the hills and very tranquil surroundings.

Set in the heart of The Scottish Borders The Gordon Arms is a wonderful base from where you can explore a simply stunning area. You will arrive as a visiting guests and leave as friends. The facilities at The Gordon are excellent with ample sized rooms, we had a twin room, with a lovely shower. All the rooms have a kettle for tea and coffee and quality biscuits too. Downstairs though is the bar and restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh cooked to order and homemade by Tommy the chef, served by Susan both owners of The Gordon.

We’ve eaten at The Gordon Arms a few times now, and we’ve had some lovely meals.

Nice friendly bar and dining area. Really welcoming after a long hike in the hills. We were there on the 3rd Sunday of the month which is an open mic music session so we had live music to accompany our meal.

They couldnt be bothered, neither could I, took money elsewhere. I understand I did not ask for high value items from menu, but place was dead quiet, no excuse for 35 min wait. Snack attack in Selkirk Square nicer greeting, same order served there and then and cheaper, sit in too.

Used this pub as a meeting place for friends who were travelling up to join us for a weekend in the area. The food was really lovely, home made tarter sauce with the fish was yummy! They made us very welcome and accommodated one of our party who is wheelchair bound without fuss or bother.

Stopped off there last night with my brother to replenish fluids and get something to eat. Gordon burger was excellent and my brother had the giant fish and chips. Not a bad selection of malt whisky as well.

Dont drive past, stop here and enjoy! Try the beef pie or the fish and chips. Clean, modern interior and friendly staff

Great food freshly cooked and mostly local produce. Friendly helpful and knowledgeable staff make the experience a good one

We were driving west to east and had been looking for somewhere to stop of lunch for over an hour! Arriving mid-afternoon, we received a strong welcome and then enjoyed a really good bar meal and this hospitable Inn.

It was a very cold Sunday when we thought we would drop in for lunch at the Gordon Arms and we were delighted to see it was up and running again after the unfortunate fire in the premises. It is an attractive traditional country pub and the owners should be congratulated on its refurbishment which has a long history in the Borders.

The Gordon has renovated after a fire but has lost none of its historical charm in the process and has increased comfort with a very nice dining room, well spaced tables , good atmosphere and very friendly, pleasant staff. The menu isn't fancy but offers good produce, good sized portions and good value. Caters well for families and children and groups of friends as well as couples and solo diners.

After the disastrous fire Susan and Tommy have re-built the hotel which is now one of the best in the region and has the complete support of all the locals. The food is really good and of course the service is second to none plus since the re-build the lounge is lovely and spacious but best of all it is lovely and warm on a cold day. If you like good quality food at reasonable prices plus a bit of local chat then this is thee place to go. Once again one of the nice local hostelries that specialise in local food and local ingredients cooked to the highest standards. We go fairly regular and have now got a lot of our friends going as well which shows just how good the Gordon Arms is. Well worth a visit and you will not be disappointed.

We stayed here for a night on our Scotland vacation. We had supper and man was it good! Started of with soup...very tasty. Then we decided on burgers...my wife had a "normal" burger, which she could not finish, and I had the Famous Gordon Burger. How can you improve on a burger you ask? Put Haggis and Bacon on it! The only trouble with the burgers is trying to get your mouth around one! It was a tough job, but success!

Family meal 6 adults and 4 kids (age 3 to 6). Great food and lovely atmosphere. Staff were great with the kids too. 5 of us had 3 courses and thoroughly enjoyed every one. I had garlic mushrooms, then the burger with black pudding and chorizo. Pudding was baileys cheesecake (homemade), amazing. Although there is no official kids menu they do cater very well for kids and all kids cleared their plates.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was very quick and the food was beautiful. Thank you so very much.

Visited for lunch with partner and his parents. Very helpful if slightly disorganised bar staff. Restaurant clean and well spaced in a modern style that worked well. Large choice of basic pub style grub that was nicely cooked and presented. Great pint of ale.

Staff very welcoming. Good menu range and very well priced. Service was excellent. Well comforting and bright

Estábamos explorando la zona y bajo los brazos topamos Gordon y decidimos parar para té/café/tarta/cerveza. Realmente no podría haber hecho sentir más bienvenidos y nos dijeron que todo sobre la historia de este maravilloso lugar, cómo se había resucitado (literalmente) de las cenizas y mostrarán...

Visitamos hoy por primera vez para el almuerzo. Muy tranquilo cuando llegamos, pero se llenaba. Un montón de actividades con un rally de ciclo y motociclistas de visita. La sopa era de primera clase y mi gambas estaban bien. Mi esposa tenía sobresaliente, excelente, mientras que una ensalada de jamón. Todo estaba muy bien preparado y caliente. Las instalaciones son accesibles para todos y agradable. El servicio no era rápido, pero solo para correr, así que no era importante. El personal era acogedor.

Spent an enjoyable weekend here in springtime. Rooms are all newly refurbished and the food is first rate. Staff are friendly and helpful too.

Stopped in for lunch on Saturday. Good menu choice and an excellent pint. I had battered fish & chips and the fish was literally hanging off the edge of the plate, and was delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend, and I will be back.

Stopped here 3 times while cycling the empty scenic roads in the area. Each time was outside the official opening hours but we were still greeted with a warmth and humour that is as rare as it is appreciated
