필립번 호텔, BW 시그니처 컬렉션

Place was nice and clean and staff was lovely. Was a shame that evening dinner wasn’t on this day.

Had a wonderful experience with family at the Philipburn Hotel. Adrian and his army of staff really went above and beyond to make our stay a truly unforgettable experience. First class service, food was excellent and the rooms were immaculate. The Hotel and grounds are stunning with some gorgeous quirky little touches. An absolute Gem of a place within the Scottish Borders. We will definitely be back again. Thank you all so very much.

I recently stayed at the Philipburn Hotel in Selkirk, hoping for a relaxing stay that matched its 4-star rating. While there were some positives, I left with the sense that something was fundamentally "off" when assessed against what one expects from a hotel of this grade. To start with the positives: my room in the garden block at the rear of the main hotel was exceptionally spacious and comfortable with parkingright outside. It featured a mini-fridge, two armchairs, desk and a large bathroom on an upper mezzanine level. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable in room and throughout the property. The sliding doors opened onto a terrace, which at first seemed ideal, but the view turned out to be of the roof and wall of the function suite. That contrast between initial promise and disappointing reality became something of a pattern throughout the stay. On my first day, I requested a sheet instead of a duvet due to warm weather. This was quickly arranged and appreciated. However, the following day, housekeeping replaced the sheet with a duvet again without asking. This suggested a lack of communication or attention to guest preferences. The large garden is generally well kept, although this impression was undermined by the presence of a discarded chest freezer at the entrance. This contributed to the hotel having an overall neglected feel that was difficult to ignore. A great deal is made of pre-ordering meals. In principle, this should allow the kitchen to prepare food fresh and reduce waste. In practice, it did not deliver. The steak pie I was served had thin, hard pastry that I was certain had been pre-plated well in advance and reheated in a microwave. The scampi, chips and peas served another evening were clearly from a frozen catering pack. Acceptable perhaps in a pub, but underwhelming for a hotel with a £27 prix fixe menu. Breakfast followed the same rigid structure. Guests are required to pre-order every item individually, including the exact number of rashers of bacon, eggs, or hash browns. This made it feel more like filling out a form for a school packed lunch than sitting down to a hotel breakfast. The croissant was clearly from a catering pack or supermarket; I was thankful I had thought to ask for two rashers of bacon! Staffing was very limited. I had to wait several minutes to be seated at breakfast, which only added to the sense that the hotel is operating below the standard expected. A 4-star hotel should have enough staff on duty to provide basic attentiveness. There was an almost comical number of 'do not' notices and signs placed around the grounds; even the umbrella in the wardrobe had a label reminding guests it was for hotel use only, as if guests were likely to walk off with it. The welcome pack included a peculiar letter from "The Management" advising guests to check their bills carefully and implying any errors would be their own responsibility. It was a very odd tone to strike! Altogether, these may seem like small issues

I was booked in to the Philipburn Hotel this weekend. I have stayed before and again I cannot fault this hotel. On arrival staff was very helpful and accommodating. My room was spacious and spotless nothing out of place. I also had a small patio area I could sit out at. This hotel is in a very peaceful area of Selkirk. The menu had a very good choice and the food that I ordered was delicious compliments to the chef. I can’t fault anything 5*

I stayed here with work colleagues on the 19th of march 25, what a place it was so nice from the standards of the rooms and hotel and friendliness of all the staff. the room was really large and a massive bathroom with a jacuzzi bath and separate double shower. The evening meal and breakfast are well worth the money. I would recommend staying here if in the area. and will defiantly be back.

We had accommodation booked elsewhere, but due to my disability it was unsuitable, very steep , winding stairs, no railing.. Adrian really went the extra mile for us and gave us one of the garden lodges nr 18. It has a lovely disability friendly shower, much appreciated after the day we had, and we also had access to a lovely private garden. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was very quiet. The breakfast was amazing. One has to order in advance, a great idea to order exactly what you want, which leads to little food wastage. There was a good choice offered, and it was very tasty. We didn't have dinner in the hotel as we felt we wanted to explore our surroundings and not be bound by the clock. We loved the individuality of the hotel, a bit eccentric , yet charming owner.. A gem easily missed in these often sterile times, we will be back...
