Philipburn Hotel, BW Signature Collection

we needed a quietly situated hotel to have a relaxing stay and Philipsburn fitted the bill. Breafast was very enjoyable and despite the hotel being fairly quiet due to the time of year and wet weather all food was cooked fresh and delivered with a smile. Our rooms were good with comfy beds, however one of our rooms had a blocked sink that was reported when we arrived, we left two days later with the sink not having been looked at, now that was not good. All in all the hotel met our needs for our short break in the Borders. less

We spent three nights at the end of August staying in The Philipburn Hotel. (Booked using a Best Western “3 nights for the price of 2” deal). The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Selkirk and is ideally positioned to allow you to explore not only Selkirk but also gives easy access to Galashiels, Melrose and Kelso. The lady (Marie) who runs the hotel, was very pleasant and helpful. I had emailed prior to our stay asking for a “quiet room” and wasn’t disappointed. Spoke to her when we checked into the hotel and she explained what we needed to know about the workings of the hotel. Food - we were booked for bed and breakfast and had no complaints about the food. Due to Covid restrictions, the hotel was asking guests to choose a time slot for breakfast and we asked for (and were given) the latest possible time. Thank you !! We also ate in the hotel on two out of the three nights that we were there and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The serving staff were attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Room - we were in room number one, which was at the front of the hotel with an excellent view looking out over the fishpond, car park and wooded areas. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Plenty of space to relax after a day spent exploring the area. Hotel grounds - the hotel has a beautiful garden at the rear with a seating area and access to the hotel bar. Unfortunately, although the weather was mainly dry during our stay, it wasn’t warm enough to sit out for a period of time. No doubt the garden area would be excellent on a warm sunny day. We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and hopefully will return sometime in the not too distant future. less

The Philipburn Hotel, Selkirk is set in beautiful grounds. We spent a couple of nights there in October and found the hotel very welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive at all times. Our only small issue was that, on arrival the room was cold, but after a short while it was quite comfortable. Everything was clean and well maintained. We had breakfast and dinner in the hotel, all very tasty and generous servings - we were well full after three delicious courses! There are many easy, attractive and interesting riverside walks close to the hotel but the town centre is a bit of a climb. The scenic and historic Borders' towns can all be easily reached by car or public transport from Selkirk. less
