The Wheatsheaf Hotel & Restaurant

About The Wheatsheaf Hotel & Restaurant

The Wheatsheaf Hotel & Restaurant sits on the green in Swinton, a quiet Berwickshire village around nine miles north-east of Kelso, and has built a reputation among Borders visitors as much for its kitchen as for its rooms. The property offers a small number of executive and superior rooms alongside standard doubles, several of them dog-friendly, all finished with en-suite bathrooms, deep-pile towels and good quality cotton bed linen, along with Corbie Cottage, a two-bedroom property next door suited to families or groups.

Dinner is served across three distinct dining areas each evening, drawing on Borders produce and a strong seafood offering, and the lounge bar is a comfortable spot for a drink before or after a meal. Two electric vehicle charging points and private dining facilities are available on site, and the surrounding countryside offers walking and cycling routes straight from the door.

While a short drive from Kelso itself, Swinton's position makes the Wheatsheaf a good choice for visitors prioritising a serious meal and a quiet village setting over walking distance to the Square, and it works equally well as a stopping point for those touring the Berwickshire coast and the wider Borders alongside a stay in Kelso.
