Cosy pub with excellent food and a good selection of vegetarian and gluten free options. Bar staff were very friendly, polite and quick to serve the drinks. I can highly recommend the dirty fries as a starter!

Review for food at the Traquair, no overnight stay involved. I visited this place a few months back and we decided to eat and drink outside on a beautiful sunny day. Theyve done up the seating area at the back so theres plenty of space now. The food was absolutely beautiful. I had seabass with a red pepper sauce which was delicious. It was all table service at this point, with the staff being attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed the visit and would recommend this place if you are in Innerleithen.
