Our Story

A Historic Scottish Haven

Steeped in history and Scottish tradition, County Hotel has been welcoming guests for centuries.

Nestled in the charming town of Selkirk, County Hotel is a historic establishment that has been at the heart of Scottish Borders life since 1746. Originally known as “The Grapes Inn,” we have provided essential hospitality to travellers through the beautiful Scottish countryside.

Our hotel has welcomed many prominent guests throughout history, including Sir Walter Scott, Mungo Park, and Prince Leopold of the Belgians during our time as the meeting place for The Forest Club.

Today, we continue this proud tradition of hospitality, offering a warm welcome to all our guests with home-cooked food made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

My review is for my recent couple of visits for the offer of a burger and a pint for £10, and also the lovely, welcoming, helpful manner of the new Manager Mary, of the bar and resturant area. The burger was very tasty, and a double, fresh angus beef., and amazing price for sitting in too, and not takeaway. The beer garden is secluded and very nice to lunch there in the sun, all tables have umbrellas for shade too. Highly recommended, if you enjoy a good beef burger and a pint, in welcoming friendly place

Have not stayed at the hotel here, but me and my family enjoyed an absolutely wonderful meal at the county hotel's restaurant! We all ordered from different cuisines, Italian, Indian, and some Scottish fish and chips; and while I was worried they wouldn't be able to successfully do all so well, they absolutely delivered. amazing food, very kind and attentive staff, overall great experience!

I can’t speak highly enough of my stay. Myself and my assistance dog stayed here during a long distance charity walk and on the lead up the manager could not have been more helpful, kind and accommodating. On arrival thry helped with my luggage and check in. The room
Was beautiful with a huge bed and it was immaculate. The we’re friendly, warm and welcoming and even helped me with my food so I could eat in my room. Thanks so much for looking after us and for going above and beyond- Kimberley & Flint xx
