Award-Winning The Gordon Arms Restaurant with Rooms

We popped in for a drink, and were immediately welcomed by the very charming owner.
The restaurant and bar are beautiful - very clean and stylish, with fresh flowers everywhere. (In fact, when the owner noticed me smelling the gorgeous sweet peas on our table, she very kindly invited me to pop into the garden and take some home!)
Although we weren't eating today, we had a look at the menu, which seemed very tempting - we'll definitely be back very soon to try it.

Thank you for your kindness.

Not local but pass this pub when we drive to Edinburgh. It’s changed hands in the last year and is now more restaurant-oriented. Nonetheless, had a delicious Sunday lunch in there, food was fantastic, great service and nice to see the owner/chef come out into the dining room to speak to customers after their meals, exactly what my father used to do years ago. Even our Labrador was made welcome! Thoroughly recommended.

We stopped by for lunch in the bar on a quiet Friday and were made very welcome. We both had burgers (one vegan, one beef) and both were brilliant. The ingredients are clearly thoughtfully sourced locally and beautifully prepared. It was also very nice to get a local good quality alcohol free beer. A simple thing that makes all the difference.

Although we 'just' had the burgers I think it is a mark of real quality when something simple is so well prepared. Hopefully we can come back sometime for the full experience.

First of al I want to say that the owners are super friendly, and they can read minds. They only use products from surrounding farmers, and you can taste it. I had a quiche and didn't want to stop eating ;-) Also, the wine is first class. Really recommended to eat here.
We stayed one night, and there is also nothing to say negative 😀

Excellent dinner and lovely atmosphere. Log fire. We were well looked after and price was reasonable too. The Gordon Arms is a recommended visit for any lover of locally sourced produce like ourselves. We enjoyed roasted butternut squash and salmon for starters. Then local venison Wellington and mushroom risotto for main. Followed by armagnac prunes for dessert. Food was cooked to perfection. All so good!

Had lunch from their Coronation menu, two courses, main and dessert. Absolutely superb. We both had the lamb as our main dish, which just melted in the mouth. Can't recommend it more highly for quality and value for money.

Hosts were friendly and welcoming.
Room was comfortable and well appointed, and the breakfast excellent, as was the service!
Would recommend this hotel for a stay!

We've been visiting the Gordon Arms for over 30 years in its many guises. We visited it this August expecting it to be the same bar/restaurant it was over the last couple of years since it had been done up. It was such a lovely surprise to see that it is under new management (no offense intended at all to the previous owners). Everything is done to such a high standard...from the high quality printed menus which change every week, the linen napkins and the subtle inoffensive background music. Our food was superb and all cooked to order. Another reviewer mentioned service was slow...it was no problem to wait for food cooked freshly and superbly. The Chef found time to come and chat with us after our meal. I wish the new owners all the success in the world as they bloody well deserve it after the effort they have put in.

Running out of adjectives to describe the experience of dining and/or staying here. It really is special 🙏

A delightful restaurant, with comfortable rooms and bar, in a historic coaching inn in the Scottish borders. Fantastic food: with an interesting variety of dishes, including a mouth-watering pork dish, and local, seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection (a highlight being the courgette flowers in tempura with honey sauce!). Charming service. Worth travelling many miles for - and stay for their delicious breakfast: which illustrates the difference between a chef and a cook!

The wooden floors make this place warm and gives you a cozy feeling! We had the smoked salmon and the ciabatta with buffalo mozzarella! Everything was fresh and delicious! Even the chips were served with Bloody Mary sauce! There is a large selection of whiskies and gins and the staff is friendly! A haven to enjoy a pint and a bite after a long trail!

Fantastic food in a stunningly beautiful setting. We received a very warm welcome and will definitely go back.

Exceptionally well set up for distancing and hygiene in the bar restaurant. Still good food menu and atmosphere. Visited for a meal with a dog and baby - able to sit indoors and feel comfortable. We hadn't booked but probably should have as it was the weekend and several tables already reserved.

Top quality establishment.
Staff are warm, friendly and welcoming, even to a trio of hairy arsed Geordie bikers, top banter.
Very happy to see Covid-19 precautions are taken seriously by the proprietors, track & trace, forehead temp checked and masks. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Food was delicious. Can't wait to return.

We stopped at the Gordon Arms whilst on our motorbike, we were mmediately welcomed and temp taken . Very comical waiter/barman who looked after us. Food was good value & realistic prices. Place was spotlessly clean and strong emphasis on safety. Will definitely call again.

The road less travelled - an outpost of culinary delights set in unspoilt border country. If you like your umami thoughtfully balanced - can't do better than here really.

New owners. Staff were polite and very helpful. New decor is lovely. I really enjoyed the gazpacho starter and the steak main. Chips were amazing

Stopped in here today for a meal, staff really friendly , food was delicious, bigger helping of scampi would have been nice but was very enjoyable. The Belgian waffle was absolutely stunning, I will definitely return!! Thoroughly recommend this hotel for a meal 👍👍

Lovely pub in a fabulous scenery. Lovely atmosphere and very nice waiters. The food was delicious. Will definitely come back when passing. Thank you to the patient waiter, how taught us how to properly pronounce Hawick 🙈

Lovely rural hotel with very friendly staff, Accommodation you can't ask for any more you get what it says on the tin so to speak. We had a social evening of 20 people; plus with other guests enjoying a excellent food in a warm cosy surroundings.
