Chirnside Hall Hotel

We have been coming back to Chirnside Hall Hotel for many many years. It is a great place to go out and visit the beautiful Scottish borders countryside, the coast and it's many castles and estates. Close to Edinburgh and Newcastle it is very easy to access from the European continent by air and over sea. And Chirnside offers great experiences for those who love fieldsports and dogs are very welcome.

Excellent - we will return. Very thoughtful hotel proposition with an outstanding team. Catering and service was first rate. Dog policy was perfectly sensible and other establishments in the Borders can learn from this! We look forward to returning next year.

Built in 1863 as a holiday retreat for a local entrepreneur, Chirnside Hall has survived all that has afflicted the Scottish Borders since - the weather, political upheavals and economic constraints. Since 2000, the development into a fine boutique hotel and seasonal hunting lodge has been the passion of Dutchman, Christian Korsten and his team. If you are looking for a cosy, comfortable and personal venue, then you should be more than pleased. The welcoming smiles are genuine, as is the determination to deliver an up-market experience. The décor is a stylish meld of antique and Harris Tweed modern, with proper linen napkins at table. As for food, the dinner menu changes daily, with meals that would earn gold stars at other establishments; a 'Full Scottish' is a real breakfast challenge; and the picnic lunch option a delight. Not only did Kirsty the chef demonstrate a thorough understanding of my coeliac limitations, she provided special gluten-free treats for me that were the envy of my friends (thank you Kirsty). For our elderly Border Terrier, he found the stairs to the top floor an effort, and some times needed carrying. So if you are planning to visit with a four-legged family member, this may be a consideration. Yet, there was even attention to detail for him, with a crate in the room, bowls and dog treats. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable trip, which we recommend whole-heartedly.

We hired chirnside Hall Hotel for our wedding and quests. The manager went above and beyond she us an amazing person. The food was exceptional and catered just to us and our needs. All the rooms were amazing, super comfortable and the cleanliness was outstanding. We loved the whole weekend as did our guests. We can not thank them and the staff enough for the amazing weekend and for making our wedding truly unforgettable. This hotel is a wee gem waiting to be found. Thank you Tori, you were amazing.

This is a very special place in a quiet setting, fabulous food, and wonderful staff.

We stayed at Chirnside Hall for 2 nights for a family wedding nearby. First class country hotel in a lovely setting. Rooms very comfortable, spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast menu - all freshly prepared and served to the table. Staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Undoubtedly the most comfortable luxury accommodation I’ve experienced in my life, with fine dining to rival Michelin plate restaurants. A most delightful surprise from my arrival with warm genuine welcome, showed to my room ( room 9 top floor) an oasis of serene quiet with beautiful landscapes. The room absolutely faultless and far exceeded comfort, bathroom, refreshments and much more I’ve had the pleasure of before. Downstairs was far beyond my expectations. Quiet comfortable lounges, drink, canapé and a menu I was stuck to choose between courses and dishes. The dining room and staff was exceptional in every respect. The breakfast and experience the next morning left me not wishing to leave this hotel. Superlatives don’t give this hotel, dining, staff, location, surroundings justice. Outstanding. Particular thanks and congratulations to head chef Kirsty, head waitress Jasmin and Tori the duty manager. You are a cut above the rest and set standards I’ve not had the pleasure of until this stay. Thank you all.

Food was outstanding in every way-- presentation, menu selection and quality.. Service and room decor were very impressive with great details and matching appointments. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

We went here some time ago. It has the most fabulous rooms in an idyllic setting and the food was to die for. I would travel all the way from London just for breakfast. The people were warm and welcoming and the hotel itself was beautifully appointed.
