In the current pandemic, it was some time since we had the courage to "get out" and enjoy time walking. This was a good lead in, not being too demanding, and limbered us up satisfactorily for the steep climb to the trig point on the Eildon Hills. Sadly the "temporary" lockdown imposed at the last minute, spoilt our full enjoyment of the hotel dining as we could not have alcohol with our meals, but Burt's at Melrose saved the day, having erected a marquee with heaters provided. I realise that the Tontine at Peebles hadn't got the space to provide this facility but I did think that Caddon View could have been a better experience. I think he was working hard (which he did remind us of frequently!) but I wasn't convinced it was the right venue for the Inntravel experience, particularly in the colder months.
Early autumn colours - & views on the Tweed
This is a lovely, easy walk, highly recommended. The hotels coped amazingly well with all the new rules and regulations and we were made to feel very welcome by all the owners and staff.

Decent accommodation and food. Lovely scenery and relatively easy walking. Very enjoyable. A really nice addition Inntravel's UK options.
I haven't had an Inntravel holiday since the 1990s, when I had some excellent trips in France and Italy and was highly impressed with the brilliant selection of interesting routes and charming, personal small hotels providing outstanding food and generous hospitality. But that was a long time ago - so what a thrill to find that nothing's changed! Your curation of delightful places to stay - and delightful routes to link them - is still top-notch.
The whole week was excellent: we had been unsure about staying in hotels in these difficult times but we felt relaxed and secure throughout the trip. The scenery along the Tweed was stunning with the autumn colours and opportunities for bird watching but we particularly enjoyed the circular walk from Peebles on Day 1, the section from Innerleithen to Walkerburn and the first section of the walk from Yair Bridge towards Melrose. Our final day in Melrose was warm and sunny and our memories of our visit to Melrose Abbey followed by our climb up the Eildon Hills will stay with us for a long time.
We had a glorious six nights in the Tweed and Scottish Borders. Helped by some beautiful weather, we really enjoyed discovering a part of the UK that we hadn't visited before. Everyone that we met was friendly and welcoming and all three hotels were a pleasure to stay in. They went to great lengths to comply with the many and varied COVID restrictions and we felt totally safe. Our personal favourite was Caddon View because the owner and staff were so friendly. It felt really good to be supporting hard pressed hoteliers during these difficult times.
The walks are not very demanding and walking alongside the river can mean too much time walking close to roads. We really recommend making an effort to get away from the valley. Combining the walk from Peebles with Caerlee Hill and Lee Pen was a great success. Perhaps most importantly, do book the various historical sights well in advance. The tours of Traquair House (call ahead rather than using the website), the Smailes printing press and Abbotsford were excellent. We didn't have time, but adding on a visit to Edinburgh would make a lot of sense. Our last night was spent at the Provender restaurant in Melrose. It is absolutely superb and should not be missed. If, like us, you had to cancel your European Inntravel holiday, this is a good alternative. Hopefully, the start of more UK walking holidays from Inntravel.
This is a lovely walking holiday in a quiet, unspoilt part of the UK. The hotels are ideally placed to explore the river Tweed and its wildlife, we saw herons fishing for their food every day! The locals are friendly and keen to stop and chat! The walks themselves are a great introduction to the area and the information provided is excellent to understand some of the history of the Tweed. If you are good at map reading, or want alternatives then all the hotels can provide other options for the intermediate days. Overall a great 5 days, thanks again Inntravel!
