Philipburn Hotel, BW Signature Collection

I was booked in to the Philipburn Hotel this weekend. I have stayed before and again I cannot fault this hotel. On arrival staff was very helpful and accommodating. My room was spacious and spotless nothing out of place. I also had a small patio area I could sit out at. This hotel is in a very peaceful area of Selkirk. The menu had a very good choice and the food that I ordered was delicious compliments to the chef. I can’t fault anything 5*

Lovely quiet hotel with the best breakfast I've ever had. Beautiful local ingredients cooked to perfection. So big we didn't eat again till dinner. The homemade steak and ale pie was like vely, full of tender meat and really took some finishing. My wife's fish and chips were cooked to perfection

We had accommodation booked elsewhere, but due to my disability it was unsuitable, very steep , winding stairs, no railing.. Adrian really went the extra mile for us and gave us one of the garden lodges nr 18. It has a lovely disability friendly shower, much appreciated after the day we had, and we also had access to a lovely private garden. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was very quiet. The breakfast was amazing. One has to order in advance, a great idea to order exactly what you want, which leads to little food wastage. There was a good choice offered, and it was very tasty. We didn't have dinner in the hotel as we felt we wanted to explore our surroundings and not be bound by the clock. We loved the individuality of the hotel, a bit eccentric , yet charming owner.. A gem easily missed in these often sterile times, we will be back...

Just back from a lovely short break in the Borders staying in the Philipburn hotel. We chose a garden room and were allocated Room 20 - it was spacious, extra large bed, super comfortable mattress and topper, and great pillows. Two comfortable arm chairs where we could sit and take in the view down to the garden through the large patio doors, or we could sit outside on the garden furniture on the private decking. The room (and the whole hotel) was spotless. The room even had a fridge, large enough for a couple of small bottles. Good sized spotless bathroom with lots of towels. Good electric shower with lots of hot water. Breakfast is quick and efficient. Pre-order means that you can choose exactly what you want with minimal waste to the hotel. We tried the full breakfast, kippers, porridge and the continental options over the three days. It was all hot, fresh and spot on. We heard other guests commenting the same. We ate in the restaurant on two of the three nights - the quality of the food was excellent. Staff were chatty and attentive and keen to please. Can't go wrong with three courses for £30 and a very reasonably priced wine list as well. Don't let the pre-ordering put you off - fill in your choices in the morning or if you are out and about send an email in the afternoon and it is all sorted. Gardens were extensive and immaculately kept. It was nice to sit by the lawn in the sun, or wander round through the trees pre or post dinner. Each morning we got some fish food from reception to feed the fish in the pond. Thanks to everyone at the Philipburn - Adrian, Graham, Declan and all the other staff who's names we didn't manage to catch.

Couldn't wait to leave, difficult to enjoy your holiday with so many rude, arrogant and unhelpful useless staff. Expected more from a Best Western - such a shame. Scotland is a lovely place guess we just were unlucky to land here

Visited the hotel over the space of 3 weeks and I was well looked after every time , the hotel is spotless and room are very spacious , Adrian the host is a pleasure to deal with and will always try and go the extra mile to make your stay a pleasant one The food is nice but I’m not a fan of pre ordering however that’s my personal choice but I totally understand why the hotel do it and it works for them All in all a fantastic stay Hotel 10/10 Service 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Food 8.5/10 Great job Adrian and the team and hope to return in the future
