The Elphinstone Hotel

After a wee run to Peebles we were going to stop for a chippy at Biggar on way home but decided to try here instead and fortunately they were able to give us a table without a booking. We chose from the 3 course set menu, great value at under £24, and had a wonderful meal with good size portions. The main course of Sunday Roast Beef was delicious as were our starters and dessert. The staff provided an excellent service and were really friendly. A party of 3 came in after us and were initially turned away as there were no tables available but after a bit of consultation they reckoned they could juggle arrangements and a member of staff then ran out and down the street whilst it was raining heavily to invite them back in. Will definitely be back here for a meal soon and more often 😋

We’ve been coming here for years and we’ve never had a bad experience, however it was starting to look a bit dated. The new decor really brightens the place up and makes it an even better experience. Great food with a really varied menu and exceptional service.

Centrally located the hotel offers good facilities even if some of the rooms are a fair walk from Reception. We asked them to organise a dinner for thirteen people and everything - food and service - was perfect. We ran our own business in the area a dozen years ago and it was nice to return.

What a super hotel. The staff could not have been more helpful from the minute we arrived. The public area was very comfortable and the bedroom even more so. It was clean and pleasantly appointed. The en suite was very up to date, bright and roomy.|The meals, both evening meal and breakfast were superb; giving an extensive choice of freshly prepared local produce.|It was our first visit but it certainly will not be our last.|Thank you Michael and all the staff.

Had an incredible week-long stay at this hotel - the staff was lovely and welcoming! The room was cosy and clean, and I loved the food. They were able to cater to my strict dietary restrictions (coeliac & vegan), which deserves a medal on its own. Would recommend this hotel to anyone! 10/10

The food has always been good here over the years but our most recent visit exceeded our expectations! The staff were so helpful and kind and I’ve never been served food so fast in my life, yet it still be delicious, fresh and presentable. Their new renovation really is beautiful with a bright new take on a traditional country inn. Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely fantastic!!!!|We stayed at the Elphinstone for 1 night during a Lands End to John o Groats cycle ride for Charity. We arrived late and the Chef had already left for the evening. The Bar staff jumped to our rescue and 30 minutes later we all eating a superb steak pie and chips. |The pub, service and rooms were all fantastic.|I would highly recommend visiting or staying at the Elphinstone if you are in the Biggar area.

Stayed at the hotel as we were nearby for a wedding. Lovely room, comfy and clean. Staff were nice and helpful. Breakfast great the next morning And managed to make last orders on our return from the wedding. Good banter and accommodating
