About The Black Bull Hotel
Eight rooms are all The Black Bull Hotel offers, but that modest scale suits its setting on Market Place in the heart of Lauder. This is a proper small-town hotel rather than a chain outlet, with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and free WiFi in each room, and a lift for those who'd rather not manage the stairs.
Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving guests and locals alike, along with a snack bar and breakfast each morning. The garden offers a spot to sit outside, while the hotel also handles weddings and meetings, with dedicated function space and business services for those combining a stay with an event. Drinks can be brought to your room, and laundry and luggage storage are on hand for longer stops.
Free on-site parking makes it an easy base for exploring the Scottish Borders, with a golf course nearby for those who play, and pubs, restaurants and other eateries within reach for evenings out. It's a straightforward, well-placed hotel rather than a destination in itself, but for a night or two in Lauder it covers the essentials.
