My second stay at The Glen, friendly staff/owners. Different room this time round but really spacious, clean and with all you would need for a break away. Breakfast is still really good with a wide selection and freshly cooked. Ideal hotel for my needs being situated close to family and excellent for days out within the Borders and close to Tweedbank for the train to Edinburgh with free parking. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Nice guesthouse

Room was nice, spacious and clean. Rest of the hotel appeared dated. Staff were very rude on arrival. Ordering breakfast the night before is not ideal - wasn’t sure if I could go down for a coffee or cold breakfast as I did not order the night before and from the attitude of staff I felt I would be turned away so didn’t bother.

The Glen is a beautiful building, ( possibly Edwardian with a baronial influence.) Very light and airy.Bedroom was a good size, plenty of light and windows easy to open. Good en suite, nice shower with eco option. Bed comfortable. Various breakdast options, including a packed breakfast to take if in a rush. Host very helpful. Parking plentiful, 15-20 minute walk into Selkirk high street. Plus some pretty walks close by down to the river.

Reasonable place limited evening meal service

The hotel offers a reasonable service but there only provides one choice of evening meal which was not to our taste. We stayed on a Monday night and were surprised to find that only one local restaurant offering Indian food was open on Mondays. We found a restaurant 8 miles away which was very good but not near where we were staying. Our room was fine albeit the four poster bed was not of the classic design were anticipated

I made a last minute booking at The Glen and enjoyed it. Before I checked in, they messaged me to see if I would need a supper reservation. The host met me when I arrived later, and my room was comfortable. I went and sat in the front room for a bit in the evening, and the host came out to turn on the gas fireplace for me. My room was quite cool (which I prefer) but there was a heater available in the closet. There were several menu options for breakfast (selected the night before) and it was very nice (my first time trying kippers).

Adequate for our needs

The room and breakfast were perfectly adequate for myself and friend who were doing the Borders Abbeys Way walk. Unfortunately, we stayed on one of the nights when an evening meal was not available. Despite being given various options it was impossible, at short notice, to book into anywhere else that offered a meal in Selkirk. Moreover, for town which is a substantial size we found that there was only one pub open that night and it did not serve food. Pie and chips from the local emporium was our only option.
