"Best steak in the world!
Service before arriving was really helpful to reserve the right room, which was smart and comfortable. The garden at the back was lovely in the sunshine. We ate in the bar brasserie and the food was absolutely outstanding! One of the best meals we have ever had. The steak was simply sublime, best ever,and I’ve tried lots of posh steak restaurants around the world. I’d go back just for the meal, compliments to the chef, and Melrose is a lovely little Borders town to walk around and get some history too." Guest Review, Aug'26

We welcome many cyclists who stay with us or stop for a meal, and we regularly receive excellent feedback about the trails and routes they have enjoyed throughout the region.

As locals, it is easy to take these routes for granted, and many of us may not even realise they are there. Fortunately, our visitors do—and their experiences are encouraging more people to come and explore the area, before returning to discover even more of what it has to offer.

Check out the great range of routes in post below.

The South of Scotland is the home of the bike and it is a fantastic way to reach some of the most magical and secluded places in Scotland. 🚲

Set your wheels in motion and explore our coastal paths, lochs and rivers and forest glens with all the family.

"Up There with the Best
One word sums up our 3-night stay - 'outstanding'. We had a spacious, comfortable and clean room with great shower. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was the most delicious we have eaten at an hotel or restaurant in recent years. Well done, Chef and the rest of the staff who made our stay so enjoyable."
