A great little pub/ hotel where they do the simple things well! Comfy beds, lovely bed linen, a choice of pillows, big fluffy towels in the bathroom , a great, walk- in shower and lovely toiletries. The food is very good and served by lovely staff who are warm and welcoming and a chef knows how to cook a steak. Full marks all round.

We stayed at the Black Bull Hotel whilst attending The Scottish Open and were absolutely overwhelmed by the level of service, quality of food & drink and really comfortable rooms to boot, (the towels were better than anything I have seen in 5 star hotels) Special shout out to Paul (and his wonderful team) who made sure attention to detail was embraced as part of the norm. Close to the A1 with lots of Golf courses and walking routes in the area so it's definitely on our list of places to revisit. I have already recommended it to colleagues and friends so hopefully they will experience the same family feeling of a wonderful place and is sure to be in high demand for a long time to come.

Driving home after a lovely two night stay at the Black Bull Inn. Recently refurbished room was spotlessly clean, comfortable large bed with good quality bed linen and fluffy towels. Good food in restaurant for dinner and breakfast with great, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the area

Fantastic experience staying at the Black Bull. We were in Borders to attend a concert, and enjoyed our meals and hospitaliyy. Jamie Robson, Jasmine and the team did a great job in making our stay enjoyable with great customer service from arrival to departure. The meals were excellent , hearty and tasty with good value for money. I particulatly enjoyed the bangers and mash ! The bar and restaurant are excellent,well laid out and cosy. The rooms are tremendous and we had the most powerful shower in a hotel in years! Fabulous stay and can’t wait to return.

Great hotel - if you’re in Duns stay there! Great newly renovated room, welcoming owner and staff. Had a few pints and dinner there - also great. Bar had good atmosphere and a roaring fire. On a long 12 day walk across England and Scotland. Best place I’ve stayed.

Excellent place for a meal. Stayed in Boston House around the corner and given recommendations for The Black Bull Hotel for somewhere to eat before my husband and I went out for the evening to a wedding at Wedderburn Castle. Lovely, friendly staff. Advised to book a table. Clearly, it is very popular as lots of reservations on nearby tables. We were eating quite early at 5, and it was lovely and peaceful before starting to fill up. Great service, attentive and prompt with orders, drinks, and food. We loved our meals. Husband ordered fish and chips, and I had the chicken and leek pie. 😋 It was very tasty, and we'd love to come back next time we're in the area so we can try the desserts! Thank you 😊

Wow. Incredibly comfortable bed and beautifully decorated room. Had a great stay and slept like a baby. Way nicer than the price/night would suggest. Whole place just been totally refurbished by new owners. Bar and restaurant also great. Perfect place to escape to for a day or two. Try it!
