The best restaurants in Tweeddale East Scottish Borders Lowlands

Had breakfast here on a busy Thursday morning (just before mums group with 7! buggies). Excellent strong coffee and bacon rolls. Great friendly service

Outstanding quality of food and coffee. Proper artisan handmade products, some of the best I’ve tasted, the cookies are to die for and the owner was extremely friendly.

We stayed at Windlestraw for the last night of our summer roadtrip. It was amazing and the food of a level we were not expecting. It was a set menu, everyone gathered for canapes and pre-dinner drinks in the lovely garden room before going through to the elegant dining room. I failed at a task I usually much better at and only took a couple of photos as I was enjoying my meal too much but every course was presented as beautifully as the two I did remember to immortalise.

Lovely lunch spot - fantastic French cooking and great menu!

Always a warm welcome. Friendly with a focus on quality food and beverages. Food cooked on premises to order. Gets busy at popular times so if there's no room be prepared to wait or visit nearby Loulabelles (food) or Haus (coffee/cake).

Came to Innerleithen on a solo retreat/holiday away from the States. The food and wine pairing the owner so kindly suggested was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my 47 years on Earth.

Great place to stay, very welcoming and friendly, would have no issue returning

Very delicious food, great service and lovely staff. A great family dinner out. Would definitely come again and recommend.

We ordered double cheeseburger and I can honestly say I have had better at a fairground!! The quality of the burger was extremely poor as was the bread bun.

Another gorgeous experience at the Garden Cafe. The food was divine as always and the portions for the money are quite substantial. We had quiche, salad, cake and coffee. All were fabulous and the staff are lovely and so accommodating.

Positives first. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and generally efficient. The evening meal we had was quite nice. Negatives. The walls are paper thin so we could genuinely hear someone snoring in the room next door. Parking is available but it's pretty tight and you might need to reverse off the main road to turn as there were so many bicycles at the end. Breakfast was middling at best.

This hotel is awful. It looks nothing like the website pictures. The whole place is rundown and filthy. On our first morning the waiter said there was a mix up with the food order and he thought he had some rice krispies somewhere but we're still waiting for them to arrive. There was then a greasy cooked breakfast plonked on a plate. When new residents arrived they were given wet towels for their room and the owner was very intimidating when they complained. Next morning at breakfast they were given the same excuse as us about the lack of breakfast foodstuffs. Don't know how this place is still open. Avoid at all costs.

welcoming hotel, great location, secure on-site car parking, great breakfast, great value for money, really friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you, would definitely recommend + stay again

Popped in for brunch with my family and felt very rushed to order and not giving time to look at the menu. The young woman serving was over within minutes of us sitting down and looking at the menu to see if we were ready to order we said no not yet and she literally came back 30seconds later. I asked for a latte with oatmilk and was told they didn’t do oatmilk despite stating so on the menu,as well as having a latte with oatmilk here before, I was offered soya but just had cows milk instead. The latte itself wasn’t very warm. We also received half of our food order and before bringing the rest of the order served another table. The food itself was alright. We’ve been a few times and had better experiences
