My brother and I had a lovely walk with the dogs around St Marys Loch and then went to the Tibbie Shiels for lunch. I thought my fish and chips with home-made tartare sauce was excellent and my brother really enjoyed his choice which was steak pie. We ate our lunch in the bar area where the stove was blazing...

We set off for a one night quick test of the tents- it turned out to be the coldest night with minus temperatures. The staff at the Inn were lifesavers providing us with hot water bottles, blankets and even opened up half hour earlier in the morning with the woodburners lit for us, all the staff went out of their...

We spent one night a Tibbie Shiels Inn in a good sized, warm, room (Nether Hill) with double and single bed), as a stop on the Southern Upland Way. The bar staff were very friendly and chatty on arrival and throughout the evening. It was cosy with fires at both ends of the inn, It has recently been opened up... More

We camped here for the weekend in June when my husband was taking part in the Durty Triathalon. Pub bit grubby, food poor, greasy fish and chips awful. Owner bit rude and campsite facilities shockingly bad. Such a shame for such a stunning spot and for an Inn that was brilliant in its day. Would never camp or visit pub... More

We just spent a few nights camping at Tibbie Shiels Inn. The good bits; the location by the side of the loch is beautiful, staff friendly, can have open fires, beautiful surroundings. The campsite is let down however by the disgusting standard of toilet/shower facilities. I can rough it with the rest of them however, during our 4 day trip... More

I hired the dining-room and conservatory to host my 60th. Alastair and Selena coped magnificently with the 40-odd musician friends and family who descended on them for a whole weekend. The hog slow-roasted over a wood fire all day to be consumed in the evening has gone down in family legend! The area is really rather special with St Mary's... More

This historic inn really is in a glorious setting, on the banks of the lovely St Mary's Loch. After a brief previous visit, we vowed to call again for a family lunch when we were next in the area and it was the ideal stop on our way from Selkirk to Moffat. We were greeted with a smile and menus... More

This was our second trip to Tibbie Shiels Inn. The first time my mother and I arrived upon the place, quite by chance, on a dark and stormy night in March. As I opened the door to the bar, to see if there was a bed for the night I was transported back in time, I almost looked behind me... More
