The best restaurants serving British food 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

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.

Had a great stay here, start of May 2025, for a mountain biking weekend. Location and setup are perfect for mountain biking / outdoor activities. Staff were friendly, accommodating and engaging. Food was lovely! There are a few other nice food locations local too, so you won't be bored with only one option to eat - which you sometimes get in small villages. My only gripe was the walls seem quite thin, so I could hear the guests next door late at night after they came home drunk which woke me up. I would stay again!

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.

Staff Service 5Star. Special mention for Sophie, Kate, Adam, Matthew, Mr Mohammad Salim who were outstanding exponents of Excellence in restaurant customer service. They are Outstanding Assets to the World renowned MacDonald Resorts Hotel Spa and Golf Group.

We stumbled across this place as we couldn’t get parked in Peebles so drove on to this, the next town Was a beautiful day and their beer garden at the front of the hotel (they have one at the back of the hotel too) was very inviting - we grabbed the last remaining table Ordered tea & coffee and a light lunch of soup and Thai fish cakes which were both delicious Staff were very helpful We will return

my family and I went for lunch here, we were a bit worried after reading the previous reviews. however glad we never paid any attention to them as its a real hidden gem. The cafe is not everyones taste as a bit retro, however we loved it! tea served in a tea pot with cup and saucer and the staff were very welcoming and chatty, nothing a problem, ppe worn by staff and all track and trace carried out. menu limited but has everything you need. we will be back when in the area and lockdown allows.
