About The Horse & Hound Country Inn
The Horse & Hound Country Inn suits travellers after an unfussy, dog-friendly base in the Scottish Borders rather than a city-style hotel. With just nine rooms, it works well for golfing trips, countryside breaks or anyone passing through Hawick who wants a proper restaurant and bar on site rather than having to travel for dinner.
Guests get a straightforward setup: bedrooms alongside a restaurant and bar at the property, breakfast included, free WiFi, and a garden to sit out in. Free on-site parking makes it easy for anyone arriving by car, and 24 hour reception with concierge services means help is on hand whatever time you check in. Pets are welcome, and the inn also takes on weddings, so it's used to hosting groups as well as individual travellers, with luggage storage available for those breaking up a longer journey.
Melrose Golf Club is a nearby point of interest for anyone building a golf trip around the stay, while the wider Borders countryside around Bonchester Bridge and Hawick suits walkers and those simply after a slower pace. It's a small, practical inn built around its restaurant and bar rather than extensive extras.
People say this pub offers excellent, homemade food, including delicious steak and kidney pie and ribeye steak, with clean rooms and comfortable beds. They also highlight the friendly staff, good value, and cozy, traditional atmosphere.
Some reviews mention the service can be abrupt.
