I loved it here so much I could cry. Dramatic I know, but true. Beautiful Arts & Crafts home lovingly restored - a real joy to look around. Cosy, homely and special. Every detail was spot on - fresh milk (not UHT), apt coffee-table books, the treats in the fridge, the whisky... It was quiet whilst I was there -... More

Whilst touring the borders over Easter, we booked Maplehurst for 2 nights and had the warmest of welcomes from Derek and Linda, greeted with afternoon tea and goodies on arrival. We were shown around the beautiful house and our accommodation and there was never any need to rush. Every attention to detail was paid and nothing was too much trouble!... More

This is the first time I have written any review but feel that more people should be aware of this gem of a guest house. Having travelled over 300 miles we were welcomed with tea/coffee and biscuits in front of a log fire from our most attentive hosts, Derek and Linda. The rooms are spectacular, large and with soft furnishings... More

Stayed here a over a year ago now but definitely would recommend the Maplehurst and am indeed sending this recommendation to a colleague who I think will enjoy the venue, hospitality and...breakfast! The hotel location is fantastic for the borders and the quality of service is unparalleled in my view. A real treat!

The bedrooms were beautiful, breakfast was cooked to perfection. They gave us lots of information for eating out and getting around. The house is a treasure pot of fabulous... More

As soon as we arrived for our three night stay at Maplehurst Linda asked us if we would like some tea or coffee and then gave us shortbread and hot toasted fruit bread as well. Our room was spacious and the beds very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, you must try Derek's fruit compots and Linda's Maplehurst sausages mmmmm. Only one... More
