Philipburn Hotel, BW Signature Collection

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Philipburn Hotel, on 7th September. Adrian, Graham and Lesley certainly went above and beyond on the day to make it a great experience for all who attended. The wedding ceremony took place in the gardens of the hotel, followed by the reception in the Linglie Suite. The wedding meal was absolutely amazing, with all guests commenting on how good the meal was. The whole day was perfect. We could not have asked for better and cannot thank them enough. Our only issues we encountered was the run up to the wedding when we were informed that we needed to find a hairdresser and a photographer which was part of the package. This was a stressful situation for us both as we had paid for an all inclusive wedding and did not expect to be involved in doing their job for them and getting involved in this way. However, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be resolved and went smoothly in the end. A big thank you to Hetties of Melrose for stepping in at the last moment and a huge thank you to Ali Graham for being such an amazing photographer, both hairdresser and photographer went above and beyond what we asked for.

Had a very mixed experience at Philipburn. Hotel was comfortable, (stayed in lodge room 16), and the one breakfast I had was good. I stayed as part of a large group and on the first night of two night's stay, two of my party were involved in a heated argument with the hotel manager over plates & cutlery being used for a takeaway. The hotel over-reacted and acted in an unprofessional manner over a misunderstanding. Shouting at guests is simply not acceptable. This event soured both my stay and the stay of everyone in the group. So much so that we felt no option but to cancel the dinner we were due to have at the hotel the following night, (and losing the deposit already paid). Comfortable hotel but in our case, a terrible attitude from the manager.

Always a lovely stay here - come for work. Nice rooms - some even with huge whirlpool baths. Tonnes of free parking. Great food always - no charge for room service is brilliant. I recommend the Thai red curry. Comfy beds. I have to leave really early before breakfast for my shifts and they provide a “breakfast on the go” - even that is great. And always really lovely and helpful staff.

Had a fantastic stay at the Philipburn Hotel in the Scottish borders region. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home as several of us visited the area as part of an annual road trip that we undertake. There was ample safe and secure car parking on site to accommodate the group. The evening meal was absolutely delicious, and the breakfast was the perfect way to start our day. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the area!"

Very comfortable, very helpful, friendly staff and food great value for money. My wife and I stopped for an overnight stay on the way home from a holiday in England. The hotel had an EV charger, which was the main reason for choosing it. However, the general great value for money, combined with the very hospitable manner of all the staff (including the owner) means that we'll certainly use it again for breaks in the Borders area. The food was great value for money - generous portions, fresh produce that was cooked fresh on the premises and well presented. The Italian red D'Avola house wine was probably the best house wine I've tried in any hotel. Only the cost of charging the EV stopped me from offering the hotel 5 stars (twice the cost of a TESLA device) - I'm sure this is due to the high costs of installation and maintenance for just 1 device but I hope that the hotel can negotiate a cheaper deal with the supplier.

The event was a friends wedding, the location the Philipburn Hotel Selkirk, the result was an amazing weekend. Arrived on Friday night to have an impromptu hen party the night before the wedding (10 people). Adrian, Graham and Leslie gave us space to enjoy ourselves whilst ensuring minimal impact on other non wedding guests, in other words enjoy yourselves but keep the noise down! Wedding day arrived and the whole event was delightful, well organised and huge fun. When we were starting to run out of steam later on, Leslie and the guys helped to liven things up and the dancing continued. The hotel is very comfortable, the food was great but most of all we enjoyed the company of the staff who were charming. We now have a reason to visit Selkirk and would not hesitate to stay at the Philipburn, just need to find even louder, brighter shirts and trousers to take with us!
