The Border Hotel
A historic inn on the village green in Kirk Yetholm, with six en-suite guest rooms, a bar and restaurant. It provides food and an overnight base in the Borders countryside. Menu and room arrangements vary by visit. Confirm dining times, room availability and access requirements before booking, especially if arriving after a walking trip.
Plan your visit →Inglestone House
A six-bedroom Georgian guest house in the centre of Kelso. Bedrooms have en-suite facilities and breakfast is served to guests. The operator offers ground-floor rooms with a rear access ramp, which may help some visitors with mobility requirements. Discuss the exact access and room layout before booking, rather than assuming all bedrooms have the same facilities.
Plan your visit →Tankerville Arms Hotel
A historic hotel in Wooler with single, double, twin and family rooms. The building originated as an inn associated with the Earl of Tankerville and later served travellers on the London–Edinburgh route. It also hosts private events. Check room configuration, dining availability and any event-related arrangements before reserving a Northumberland stay.
Plan your visit →Lavender Tearooms
A tearoom alongside the village shop and post office in Etal. Food includes light lunches, afternoon tea, cakes and local specialities such as Border tart and singing hinnies. The business provides a stop within the village rather than accommodation. Check the current opening and menu before travelling, especially outside the busiest visitor season.
Plan your visit →Café Maelmin
A café and restaurant in Milfield, near Wooler, offering daytime food and separately arranged Sunday lunches and takeaway service. The village location makes it an inland Northumberland stop rather than a Wooler town-centre restaurant. Check current hours and any advance-order requirements before making plans, particularly for Sunday lunch or an afternoon-tea order.
Plan your visit →Sultans of Kelso
An Indian restaurant and takeaway in Kelso, providing a meal stop within the town. Table dining and collection orders follow separate arrangements. Check the current menu, opening hours and reservation availability before visiting, and confirm drinks and any corkage conditions directly. Discuss allergies or other dietary requirements when placing your booking or order.
Plan your visit →Hirsel Homestead
The Hirsel Homestead is part of the Douglas-Home family's estate at Coldstream. It brings together craft businesses, a café and the estate's countryside setting, giving visitors somewhere to pause during a visit to the Hirsel. Individual businesses keep their own hours, so check the facilities you want to use before setting out.
Plan your visit →Norham Castle
Ruined border fortifications above the River Tweed at Norham. Conservation restrictions currently close the main Marmion Gate, inner ward bridge and inner keep. The outer ward remains accessible through an alternative entrance from the car park. Follow the site's signs and check the latest access notice before visiting; this listing does not promise access to the closed areas.
Plan your visit →Lady Waterford Hall
A former village schoolroom decorated with large watercolour murals by Louisa, Marchioness of Waterford. The paintings include people who lived and worked on the estate. Small parties are welcomed through the hall's donation arrangements; groups above 12 have a formal per-person donation and coach parties must book. Check seasonal opening before visiting Ford.
