Stayed for 2 nights while fishing as part of a group of anglers taking over the rooms. First class hospitality and the rooms were very good too

I deleted my earlier review as not aware of the facts. Going by the reply to my review and talking to the locals. This looks like a bed and breakfast that does evening meals and opens the bar to residents only. Correct me if I am wrong I remember this being a normal pub that did good food for everyone

This was a very friendly honest pub with decent pub food and a warm welcome. Dog friendly and centrally located so easy to walk to.

We enjoyed our meal at the Red Lion (recommended by our B&B hosts), enjoying butternut squash and coconut soup and fish and chips (it was Friday). It was a pleasant place to eat (except for the 1980s pop music perhaps).

We needed to break our journey on our way to our holiday let and this pub fitted the bill perfectly. Easy parking right at the centre, a friendly welcome from the staff. Our order for a light lunch was swiftly taken and served without much delay, which was what we needed. Food was good. There was also a group of people at another table before us, but we were served first, which we appreciated, rather than having to wait for their much more complex order to be dealt with.The staff were helpful in answering a question about the locality. I would gladly eat here again if in the area.

This little hotel was a joy to stay at. Our room was larger than expected and lovely and cool considering it was June. We were on a trip down memory lane and a fact finding mission about my Aunt and so glad we chose this hotel. Bedlinen was crisp and clean and the room seemed to have been recently redecorated. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. The breakfasts were superb. Best sausages we've ever tasted. I will be back with my daughters to explore the exceptionally friendly town that is Earlston. I'll also bring back the coathangers we accidently took with us - apologies!!! Anna Thomason and Tom Thompson

Day trip out and off course had to find somewhere for lunch. First time visit, friendly welcome by Stuart. We all had a tasty meal and whilst there was a short wait, at least the food was freshly prepared, so any wait is perfectly acceptable. Good pub grub and friendly staff.

I fell and hurt my knee in the street and hobbled into this bar to ask if I could wash the grit from my palms. I discovered that my knee was bleeding and went into the bar to ask for a plaster! Well they were so lovely and gave me antiseptic cream and Craig bandaged up my knee! I cannot thank them enough. And will return to have a drink in there next time and maybe some bar food! Thank you Caitlin for being so kind too!

Stayed here for three nights B and B, decided not to eat here because of the look of the place! We had a 'superior' which was OK for the money. The room was not cleaned properly each day. It's a pub and as we were on the front we had to listen to the load rubbish people talk about until after midnight. We also had to keep the windows closed to keep the smoke out. Earlston has seen better days, Melrose is nicer. There was absolutely no interaction with the staff, they had on dirty T shirts and jeans. It seems that the previous tenants have moved on. We would not go back.

Good food, although not an overly varied menu, but good helpings and worth the wait, It isn't micro-waved . I visited on a Saturday night having pre-booked a table a week in advance. Just 2 female staff running the bar and tables. Clearly short-staffed as I was not told about the specials blackboard, not told where to sit for the table I reserved and wasn't asked if I enjoyed the meal or if I wanted a sweet. All normal pub etiquette, but I wasn't bothered as it was a good meal and I could see both women were rushed off their feet. The locals have no manners and hog the bar area, but I would return.

Read my hotel review which was a combination hotel-restaurant review. We arrived late and as the owner spent 30 minutes finding us a place to stay, we ate a delicious, hearty meal in the bar. It was warm and cozy and we had the company of some beautiful dogs because the International Dog Show was in Edinburgh. Thank you the the compassionate owner who dried a few tears and found us a place to stay.

We had been to kelso races for the day and decided to pop in here for a bar meal. The girl serving was very polite, helpful and efficient. The food was home cooked and tasty. I had the creamy garlic mushroom starter and my husband has the spinach and celery soup both were excellent . Then for mains we had both had the lamb hotpot. The meat was succulent and potatoes and vegetables all cooked beautifully and this came with farmhouse bread and butter. An excellent warming meal after a cold day out . We definitely be back. Thank you

we have just spent a night in the red lion the square earlston after visiting relatives in the area.....we chose the red lion for the position and ease of reach...the hotel is quite small with 7/8 letting rooms and we had a front facing double...the room was a decent size, not huge, but perfectly adequate...very clean..comfortable bed...very warm duvet!!...en suite shower room looked fairly newly refurbished and very nice, good walk in shower....coffee and tea facilities...breakfast was also good, choice of full English, vegetarian, and the usual cereals, juice etc...we also had dinner there with our relatives,,,typical pub grub but very good..good choice of menu,,,nice friendly staff...this might not be a 5* luxury hotel..but we had absolutely no complaints and would not hesitate to recommend for a bed and breakfast stay..ideal for holiday travellers and walkers etc....good job red lion

Called in for lunch whilst walking the Leader and Jubilee paths. Basic menu but food well cooked and enjoyable. Landlord lacking any Bon homie, so pub lacked atmosphere. Overall food ok at reasonable price

I previously reviewed this place (positively) in 2014 when I was staying locally whilst attending a workshop at the high school. I think my previous review was under their hotel listing. I described the place then as good and unpretentious.

While the decor in the 'bistro' eating area could do with a little inspiration, the food was outstanding (fish and chips and Red Lion burger) the staff were friendly and attentive. Great for a pub lunch

The food was very good, but we were almost forgotten about by the staff because of large tables in the adjacent dining area. The landlord came over an apologised for the slow service as we were paying the bill (before we said anything about the service) and gave us a free drink to make amends. Very nice touch, and (almost) made up for the service.

Whilst not the most attractive of dining-rooms, the staff are friendly and welcoming. The menu is standard fare but the portions are generous and the food well cooked; certainly not a gastropub by any means.
