The house was built in 1834 as a holiday home for an affluent Edinburgh businessman. Almost two centuries later, it remains a wonderful and relaxing retreat. The elegant dining room and bedrooms are the perfect backdrop for good food, roaring open fires, and stunning views of the Cheviot Hills. Secluded and peaceful, and just a short drive from the Lammermuir Hills and Berwickshire coast, Chirnside is still convenient for the shops and sights of Edinburgh and Newcastle. As a small and independent hotel, we’re here to indulge you. We try to meet your every need — from recommending a good place for lunch, to telling you the best walks, or helping you dry out your boots after a great day in the Scottish Borders countryside. As a result, many of our guests return to us again and again — it’s a version of country-house living that’s better than the real thing!
