We popped in for a drink, and were immediately welcomed by the very charming owner.
The restaurant and bar are beautiful - very clean and stylish, with fresh flowers everywhere. (In fact, when the owner noticed me smelling the gorgeous sweet peas on our table, she very kindly invited me to pop into the garden and take some home!)
Although we weren't eating today, we had a look at the menu, which seemed very tempting - we'll definitely be back very soon to try it.
Thank you for your kindness.
Not local but pass this pub when we drive to Edinburgh. It’s changed hands in the last year and is now more restaurant-oriented. Nonetheless, had a delicious Sunday lunch in there, food was fantastic, great service and nice to see the owner/chef come out into the dining room to speak to customers after their meals, exactly what my father used to do years ago. Even our Labrador was made welcome! Thoroughly recommended.
We stopped by for lunch in the bar on a quiet Friday and were made very welcome. We both had burgers (one vegan, one beef) and both were brilliant. The ingredients are clearly thoughtfully sourced locally and beautifully prepared. It was also very nice to get a local good quality alcohol free beer. A simple thing that makes all the difference.
Although we 'just' had the burgers I think it is a mark of real quality when something simple is so well prepared. Hopefully we can come back sometime for the full experience.

First of al I want to say that the owners are super friendly, and they can read minds. They only use products from surrounding farmers, and you can taste it. I had a quiche and didn't want to stop eating ;-) Also, the wine is first class. Really recommended to eat here.
We stayed one night, and there is also nothing to say negative 😀
Had lunch from their Coronation menu, two courses, main and dessert. Absolutely superb. We both had the lamb as our main dish, which just melted in the mouth. Can't recommend it more highly for quality and value for money.
Hosts were friendly and welcoming.
Room was comfortable and well appointed, and the breakfast excellent, as was the service!
Would recommend this hotel for a stay!
Rooms are small, shower very good.
No outside seating area.
Bar closed at 21.30.
We've been visiting the Gordon Arms for over 30 years in its many guises. We visited it this August expecting it to be the same bar/restaurant it was over the last couple of years since it had been done up. It was such a lovely surprise to see that it is under new management (no offense intended at all to the previous owners). Everything is done to such a high standard...from the high quality printed menus which change every week, the linen napkins and the subtle inoffensive background music. Our food was superb and all cooked to order. Another reviewer mentioned service was slow...it was no problem to wait for food cooked freshly and superbly. The Chef found time to come and chat with us after our meal. I wish the new owners all the success in the world as they bloody well deserve it after the effort they have put in.
A little gem nestling I'm the Yarrow Valley. The food first class along with the welcome in a unique location.
Fantastic food in a stunningly beautiful setting. We received a very warm welcome and will definitely go back.
