Black Bull Hotel  

In the historic market town of Lauder — about 14 minutes by car from Melrose Abbey and roughly 30 minutes from central Edinburgh. Close to the Southern Upland Way trailhead and within reach of Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat. Pet-friendly spot with complimentary on-site parking.

A prominent coaching inn established in 1780 and recently refurbished, offering around a dozen individual en-suite rooms with a cozy, modern-pub vibe.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge for laid-back evenings, free Wi‑Fi across the property, complimentary self-parking and shuttle/transfer assistance on request. Daily housekeeping, elevator access and a smoke-free environment round out the practical perks — plus wake up with town views and a cup of coffee.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel keeps you connected for work or quick check-ins.

Enjoy modern British cuisine in the hotel's restaurant and relax with a drink in the bar. Breakfast is available on the premises (fee applies), served with professional service and local flavors.
