Had a very nice one night stay on the way to JOG. Our room was comfy and quiet. Our dinner was very filling, what we walkers like. Breakfast could have been earlier than 830am but being a weekend, it’s later. But still delicious. Thanks Lucille & Jim.

Definitely my kind of pub, went in one night going back to campsite and the Guinness was that good we had to visit again the next day, I wasn't going anywhere else. We had drinks and a sandwich 🥪 and chips 🍟 to keep us going the next day as we had walked around the Eildon Hills and needed some refreshments. It's a local place were they know everyone and everyone is welcome 🙏 so friendly 😊. If you are in town it's a must visit.

Restaurant meal for lunch. Lovely staff, very nice food. Lasagna tasty, fish and chips great. Garlic bread a little over done for liking but didn't spoil the meal at all. Plates nice and warm for serving the food. Proper and I mean proper chips! Looked a couple of other places before deciding on The Station Hotel and kept seeing 'string fries' with the meals! Good grief, what is that all about! I am going back to The Station Hotel for nice chunky chips. We haven't been to a good old-fashioned pub for ages, because we haven't found a decent one. The place is very clean, good atmosphere and really good service. Thank you.

The Station Hotel is a small, local establishment. It’s not the height of luxury but is very clean and welcoming. I stayed for two nights, bookending a solo trip on the Borders Abbey Way and had different rooms. …

Was here with family split across two rooms. Tight room, small shower. Odyssey amenities in bathroom, with bottles attached to the wall. Paper bath mats was very strange. Very hot rooms with limited ventilation.  …
