A warm, friendly welcome awaits you. We are a family-run coaching inn in the village of Leitholm (pronounced Leitolm, the ‘h’ is silent), near Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders. We are family and dog-friendly. David manages front-of-house and our cellar while Sarah manages behind the scene and cooks our delicous food. The Scottish Borders offers spectular scenery, loads to do - crafting, golfing, walking, cycling, horse-riding, fishing, hunting, wild swimming, surfing, historical sites, wildlife boat trips to name but a few - and great places to eat local produce. Being just six miles from the Border, we are perfectly situated to explore Northumbland as well as Berwicksire and Roxboughshire. We are 45 miles from Edinburgh and 66 miles from Newcastle, so a day trip is easy to do either by car or car and train.We welcome cyclists, bikers, riders and walkers whether for a pitstop or an overnight stay. We have secure storage for bikes and can arrange livery stabling locally. We also welcome motorhomes/camper vans. We are listed with Brit Stops and SearchforSites. We do not charge, but hope that owners pop in for a drink or two, or a meal subject to table availability; phoning ahead is preferred. Weather-permitting, vans park around back in our garden with a stunning view of the countryside. However, if the ground is too soggy parking is available at the front, roadside. Using our toilets, when we are open, is fine too.Accommodation:We have four comfortable, well-appointed en-suite guest rooms – Hope, Miller, Pitman and Thomson - on the first floor; all rooms are strictly non-smoking and non-vaping.
