everything about this B & B lived up to our expectations. Beautiful room and surroundings. The views from our bedroom (Lemon Grass) were spectacular. The surrounding area was quiet, peaceful and we had a very restful two night stay. After reading previous reviews were looking forward to meeting John and Lena who seemed to be the perfect hosts, however Fiona... More

Waking up in the Ginger room, the Chviot mountains in the distance through the picturesque window, covered w a sprinkling of fresh snow, you feel like you are still dreaming. You step into the bath room full of sunshine, underfloor heating, and a book shelf of unique titles. you may still be dreaming, and that just the beginning of a... More

We stayed at Kirkbank last year and subsequently booked all 3 roomsfor my wife's 50th birthday. Although we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves last year on our own, this is the best way to enjoy the freedom and tranquilityKirkbank offers. We had a brilliant time and our guests felt that they been there for a week not days. John and Lena cooked... More

A weekend is not enough!! Staying here is very calming, the whole place lends itself to making you feel great the minute you walk through the door. My room was so modern and clean with a mix of the Far East, I could have stayed in it all the time, except the breakfasts were too good to miss. Wonderful bathroom... More

John was so friendly+welcoming + his breakfasts were excellent! We also appreciated his use of local produce including bacon+ honey from a few miles away! The bath... More

A stay here is guaranteed to be pleasant, with views over the Cheviots from the bed and excellent dinning nearby, you will be certain of a good stay. A lovely part of the Country explored from a highly recommended B&B, you can't go wrong. Excellent pub down the road, but take the extra step to the Allanton Inn for excellent... More

Another great stay at our favourite B&B. John and Lena made us feel very at home. Lovely room, crisp bed linen, luxurious bathroom. Breakfasts are superb - "full cooked" on both mornings with cereal and fresh fruit. Chilly enough outdoors for a log fire in the evenings. We will be back, thank you. More

OMG!!!! It's sooooo relaxing. I have just spent the most relaxing 2 days ever with my fiance` for my 40th birthday. John and Lena have created a fantastic B&B. The view from the Ginger Room was worth the stay alone. The whole house creates a relaxing and peaceful environment, great base for walkers and explorers or those just wanting to... More

Imagine the scene; a long drive, cold weather and fading light on the Winter solstice. An A-board for Kirkbank house appeared at the roadside, we followed the well-placed signs without issue and arrived to a warm welcome from John and Lena. We were shown to our comfortable, agreeably furnished room with period features. The lounge, equally well furnished, had an... More
