All in all i would highly recommend this little gem of a place to any passers by, it's literally 2 minutes off of the M74, if you do decide to stop in you certainly wont regret it! This is now in my notes and I'll be nipping in for sure next time I'm passing! NOTE; we did not stay the night in a room however if they are anything compared to the rest of the inn then they will be excellent!

I would the decor was contemporary Scottish and cosy. We sat in the bar area as that was where they allowed dogs. The first table we sat at was a bit in the middle and as Luna (the dog) likes to spread out, they asked if we would like to move to a corner table where she has more room, I really appreciated this thought. I had lamb with potatoes and a jus. The lamb was perfectly cooked and moist. There was a lot of lamb as well, great portion size. My other half had a fish pie which was jam packed with prawns, salmon and white fish. Really fab. It was during desert that they really hit the mark. I ordered a cheese board for us to share. First came the crackers. Something that really annoys me about a cheese board is that you get lots of cheese and then 3 crackers. What you meant to do with that? I usually end up having a ton of cheese and not many crackers! This was not an issue at Burts. They brought a basket of crackers...yes, a basket. I have uploaded a picture to show this delight. The cheese was all local and ymmuy as well. They also serve real ale. My partner complained that one of the ales was off. Without questions, they changed it for something else. This place is maybe a bit more pricey compared to other restaurants in Melrose but I think it is well worth it.

The town is full of historical buildings, but this place is centrally located and had servers that truly wanted to help and serve.

Really a great find with wonderful dishes all over the menu and great decor. But it's the truly top notch five star excellent service that I remember the most. Wonderful all around.

It is so pretty in the summer when it is adorned with flowers that you just can't help but want to stop off there as you're passing through :-) Inside it is rather more modern than you might expect and quite smart for a pub. There is a bar area, and a room off to the side with leather chairs and sofas and a TV. At the other end of the pub there is an extensive dining area and the pub does seem heavily geared towards dining. We had just popped in for a beer and there was Black Sheep and Old Speckled Hen on both of which were very pleasant. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we spent a relaxing and very enjoyable hour there.

This was just the experience we were hoping to find: busy and unpretentious (although the wifi password was painted in handsome script above a doorway). If we didn't have to get back on the trail we'd probably come back another day.

The hotel only has two rooms, a small bar, and two separate dining areas, with a beer garden outside. On our four day stay in one of the rented nearby cottages we where literally two minutes walk to the bar from the house, with three of the days we ended up here on most days at lunch time till close. Food is served at lunch times and the evenings and also we ate here three days out of four, and the food was pretty good serving the likes of Fish & chips, macaroni cheese and burgers to name a few. The bar area is small, and choice was limited, but I think this was due to the location, and locals didn't seem to go out drinking. Overall we had a great time here, and would recommend The Inn at Kingsbarns to anyone that was passing through or staying nearby.

Still, there are precious few places in this neck of the woods that can do food of this standard, so don't be put off. For starters, I had the scallops (without the bacon and black pudding), which were so succulent that they practically melted in the mouth. That was followed by an evening special of halibut, which arrived with two round slices of what looked like cheese on top, but which turned out to be a slightly spiced butter concoction. Yowza! It also came with samphire, one of my favourite greens. I was pretty full after that, but manfully struggled on to the dark chocolate torte (sans ice cream), which was a perfect finishing touch to the meal. Herself opted for the cheeseboard, which had a nice selection of local cheeses (but not too much) with grapes and water crackers. Full marks for the cuisine, slightly less for decor and service.
