Balcary House Hotel
A Victorian country-house hotel in private grounds in Hawick, with individually styled bedrooms and suites.

Confirm the facilities included with your room and any additional experiences before travelling.
Plan your visit →The Auld Cross Keys Inn
An inn in Denholm with guest bedrooms, a restaurant, public bar and sheltered beer garden. Accommodation includes single, double, twin and family options. A lounge offers coffee and lighter food alongside the main dining service. Confirm the room configuration and current meal times before booking, especially for a family group or a late arrival.
Plan your visit →Falstone Barns
Four converted stone barns arranged around a courtyard on the Falstone Farm Estate, offering self-catering stays near Kielder Water. The barns have different layouts and sleep between two and six guests; PoshHuts are a separate two-person option. Check the precise accommodation type, capacity and facilities before booking a rural North Tyne Valley break.
Plan your visit →Damascus Drum
A small café in the historic town of Hawick, providing a food and drink stop while exploring the town. It is distinct from accommodation or a booked attraction, with its own café opening arrangements. Check the current food selection, seating, service hours and any dietary or access requirements before making a special journey.
Plan your visit →New Lam Wah
A food business in Hawick with its own published menu and order information. It provides a local meal option rather than accommodation or an attraction. Check whether you need a table or a collection order, along with the current service times and menu, before travelling. Confirm allergies and dietary requirements directly with the business.
Plan your visit →Santa Marina Restaurant
A restaurant in Hawick offering table reservations and arrangements for celebrations. The operator publishes seasonal closure notices as well as its restaurant information, so it is sensible to confirm the current service calendar. Check the latest menu, opening and booking availability before visiting, particularly for a group meal or a date around a holiday.
Plan your visit →Borders Textile Towerhouse
Explore the Borders' knitwear and tweed industries in a restored 16th-century towerhouse in Hawick. Garments, photographs and objects trace over 200 years of textile production, while changing exhibitions cover art, design and fashion. The vaulted room also explains the building's history. Admission is free, with donations welcomed; check seasonal opening hours.
Plan your visit →Fatlips Castle
A Borders tower standing on Minto Crags above Teviotdale, with views towards Denholm, Bedrule and Ruberslaw. The building has been restored after a period of disrepair and is a distinctive landmark in the surrounding landscape. This listing identifies the castle's location; it does not promise access inside. Check current land-access and entry arrangements before planning a visit.
Plan your visit →Jedburgh Abbey
Explore the remains of Jedburgh's medieval abbey, where Romanesque and early Gothic architecture meet. Surviving monastic buildings show where the community ate and slept, and a recreated cloister garden includes herbs associated with medieval life. This is a ruined historic site with outdoor areas; check current access and opening arrangements before visiting.
