We had a warm welcome when we arrived, despite being soaking. I think Kathleen is used to it as she whisked our coats away to dry. She managed to fit all 5 of us in comfortably and even booked our evening meal at the excellent pub across the green. Good breakfast and packed lunches. And a very pretty village high... More

This is the second year running I have stayed here as part of a cycling tour. Excellent accommodation in a beautiful location and just across the village green from a very good pub and restaurant. We arrived very wet and left bone dry thanks to Kathleen the owner drying all our wet gear. A godsend. More

We have stayed at the Cross Keys many times whilst visiting the Borders of Scotland. Host Kathleen is always friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are spotless. The village is pretty and peaceful, the only noises you are likely to hear are the church bells! Breakfast is delicious with a choice of full English or a lighter option. We have... More

We have walked many a mile and stayed in a multitude of Pubs and Guest Houses whilst completing several long distance walks but we have never been looked after before in the way that Kathleen accomodated us. The last stage of the Pennine Way is notoriously difficult to plan but she sorted it all out for us acting as our... More

We stayed here while walking the St Cuthberts Way. The owner made us feel very welcome even though we arrived very late after a long day walking, the room was clean and spacious with a private bathroom, a comfy bed, biscuits, and even a mat to put muddy hiking boots on. The breakfast was great and the home made chutney... More

We were agroup of 4 lady walkers and this was by far the most comfortable and welcoming place we stayed during our walk. The rooms were tastefully furnidshed and spotlessly clean as was the ensuite. Comfortable beds and quiet location. Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent and so well presented and served. Packed lunches great and very... More

I stayed just one night at this delightful B&B while walking St Cuthbert's Way. I would certainly go back again and thoroughly recommend it to others. Ideally situated by the village green, it had everything needed by a walker (good shower, comfortable bed, matting for boots, custard creams!) and the owner added her warm and helpful personality without being intrusive.

Only stayed the one night as part of a cycling tour of the Borders. The premises were very clean, light and airy and the welcome made us all feel right at home. Bedrooms were nicely decorated and the beds comfy which guaranteed a good nights sleep. The owner took the trouble to ring the Border Hotel to book us a... More

Very convenient for the Pennine Way, being just 100m from the Border Hotel, official start/end of the Pennine Way. Clean large room with good hot shower. Good breakfast. We have booked it again for another trip later this month. More
