PUB OF THE YEAR 2010

The Border Hotel, Kirk Yetholm. Built in 1750 as a coaching inn with a totally thatched roof, the hotel was originally known as the 'Grey Horse'. In 1893 the thatched roof on the main building was replaced and the name was changed to the 'Border Inn' In 1898 the gable was built and the name changed again to the 'Border Hotel'. Over the years the building has been progressively altered and upgraded. It now boasts a conservatory leading onto a beer garden, a function room and two small dining rooms - as well as all the modern facilities the discerning traveller has come to associate with quality accomodation. |
