When is the best time to go to Ellemford?

The best time to visit Ellemford is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its most pleasant. During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours, with the sun often staying out until late in the evening. This makes it ideal for exploring the rolling Border hills, enjoying leisurely walks along the River Tweed, or visiting the various historic abbeys and castles in the area without the worry of frequent rain. The warmer temperatures are also great for outdoor activities like fishing or cycling. Early autumn, specifically September, is also a wonderful time to visit. The crowds thin out, and the landscape is painted with beautiful autumnal colours, offering a different kind of scenic beauty. While the days are shorter and cooler than in summer, the weather can still be very agreeable for exploring, and you might find some excellent value on accommodation. Ultimately, for the warmest weather and longest days, summer is your best bet.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Ellemford hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Ellemford hotel?

Newcastle Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here. The staff are amazing, very friendly. The food is great with a good choice. Breakfast is included in the price and is one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had in a hotel. The rooms are spotless as is the rest of the hotel. They are also dog friendly. I will definitely be staying there again."

Marshall Meadows Manor House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one Saturday night in early August. A nice welcoming hotel with ample parking. We had a premier room which was very comfortable, quiet, and had pleasant views over the gardens. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and reminded us that everything in the minibar was complimentary! As we’d eaten prior to arriving, the snacks and drinks - both alcoholic and soft were just enough to keep us satisfied until our good night’s sleep. Breakfast in the morning was plentiful and served in the hotel’s restaurant. This was a good choice for an overnight stay, especially in a premier room."

The Linton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Small hotel ( essentially rooms above the bar and restaurant) in a pretty East Lothian village. Easy on-street parking, straightforward check-in , decent size room. Amenities are a little basic and I was frustrated that the shower in my room had very low water flow. Nice to have a cooked breakfast available every day. I didn't eat in the evening but the dinner menu looked tempting and good value."
