The Glen Guesthouse

No faults really I loved it here The owners were so helpful and accommodating My breakfast was big and I struggled to eat it all and it was delicious They booked me a meal in a nearby hotel too My room was spacious and the bed was HUGE and comfortable with really good pillows and bedding I will definitely go back!

A lovely place to visit!

Shocking experience. We booked this lovely looking hotel on Wowcher. Arrived today at 2.30 ish. I went in and this woman appeared and said can I help you? Yes we have a booking I said. We don’t open till four, she replied frostily! Ok I’ll come back later, I said. She then asked my name flicked through a folder then said well your room is ready just go up, but you won’t have hot water till four! Fill in the breakfast menu for tomorrow and have it down by 9pm tonight. (How will anyone know what they want for breakfast the day before). We went upstairs to a cold, tired room. Hubby gave Norman our Irish Wolfhound his dinner at 5pm and we sat on the bed. It was so cold I had two jackets on. Norman then brought all his dinner up…. On the bed and carpet! I pulled off the cover and saw the thinnest cheapest quilt that looked like it was made of paper. Hubby went down to get some cleaning things and a lady brought them up. She said don’t worry, we usually just have working men in here! We cleaned up and went down to dinner. The woman came in and said you can’t have anything, you didn’t order it. We only made cottage pie tonight and as you didn’t ask you can’t have anythingWtf. I said ok I’m going and went out to reception, she meanwhile told my hubby we could go to the Indian or Chinese. I would never eat in either he said, so she said, well there’s a chip shop in the town! The owner came out and I told him we were not staying. He shrugged his shoulders and told me they were a guest house. I said you’re advertising as an hotel! He said I sent you an email asking if you wanted cottage pie for dinner. How ridiculous I said. He said we didn’t want to waste food, so stopped using a menu. I said that’s just bad management. He told me they were a guest house not a hotel! He again just shrugged and we left. This is NOT an hotel it’s a working man’s doss house. Be warned

Adequate for our needs The room and breakfast were perfectly adequate for myself and friend who were doing the Borders Abbeys Way walk. Unfortunately, we stayed on one of the nights when an evening meal was not available. Despite being given various options it was impossible, at short notice, to book into anywhere else that offered a meal in Selkirk. Moreover, for town which is a substantial size we found that there was only one pub open that night and it did not serve food. Pie and chips from the local emporium was our only option.

Great stay, very clean and beautiful and the staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely! Seamless check in. Room was spacious and clean with lovely big comfy beds. Breakfast was really nice and checkout seamless!
