Pentonbridge Inn

"It was always clear that the owners here really wanted to put their place on the map – and now they have the personnel to realise that ambition. Chris Archer is a chef who can deliver depth with just a handful of ingredients; he doesn’t need to fall back on gimmicks or unnecessary flourishes, as this is all about well-judged  combinations of flavours and textures. The 18C inn sits in open countryside, close to the Scottish border, and its last makeover gave it an inviting and contemporary feel – and that extends to its smart bedrooms." - Michelin Inspector

Our stay at the Pentonbridge Inn was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The inn itself is beautifully appointed—elegant yet cosy, with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The highlight, of course, was the Michelin-starred dining experience. Every course was a masterpiece, perfectly balancing creativity and flavour with the finest local ingredients. The wine pairings were expertly chosen and elevated each dish even further. Breakfast the next morning continued to impress, with fresh, high-quality offerings that were absolutely delicious. That granola OMG. We left feeling completely looked after and already planning our next visit. Pentonbridge Inn is a true gem, combining luxury, comfort, and world-class cuisine. Highly recommended!

I have been to a few places for tasting menus. Pentonbridge is definitely one of the best I have had. The staff and service were amazing. The food was outstanding. I have no complaints at all

Fabulous place if you enjoy fine dining. The 8 course tasting menu with wine flight was sensational.

We had the most phenomenal meal at the Pentonbridge Inn for our mini moon. All of the staff were extremely kind and welcoming, and the food was incredible. Thank you for making our first Michelin dining experience one to remember!

Such a beautiful wee inn! From arrival to departure was excellent! The little snacks on your bedside table and the offer of fresh milk for the room were just the start. The staff had in-depth knowledge of the dishes and wine menu so that helped if you didn’t want to have the wine flight! Breakfast was great also with great views over the rolling hills. Thank you to everyone who was on shift last Saturday! Dean

Our dinner was close to perfection - all the staff were kind, professional and knowledgable (made us laugh too, at times) and the cooking was absolutely outstanding. After a few disappointing 'top-end' dining experiences lately, our visit restored our belief in the joy that cooking and food at this level can bring. Just brilliant.

Absolutely fantastic. From check in to check out the staff were lovely and friendly. The rooms were nicely decorated, with a radio and ours had a tv that came from the foot of the bed. The bathroom was huge, with a walk in shower and fabulous Pure Lakes Toiletries. The 8 course tasting menu was sublime and catered for gluten free as well, the GF bread was the best I've tasted. The wine pairings were stunning and the sommelier was really friendly and very knowledgeable. Breakfast was great, homemade granola and then smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and a buckwheat waffle, just enough to set you up for the day. Will definitely be back.

The taster menu is a beautiful and tantalising dining experience. Staff were attentive and informative about the produce and food preparation. A lovely atmosphere. Also, the speed at which the dishes came to the table was perfect. Not rushed, but neither too slow; just right. I didn't stay. Therefore, I can not comment in the rooms.
