© The Plough Inn Leitholm 2025
A warm, friendly welcome awaits you.
We
are
a
small
family-run
coaching
inn
in
the
village
of
Leitholm
(pronounced
Leitolm,
the
‘h’
is
silent),
near
Coldstream,
in
the
Scottish
Borders.
We
are
family
and
dog-friendly.
David
manages
front-of-house
and
our
cellar
while
Sarah
manages behind the scene and cooks our delicous food.
The
Scottish
Borders
offers
spectular
scenery,
loads
to
do
-
crafting,
golfing,
walking,
cycling,
horse-riding,
fishing,
hunting,
wild
swimming,
surfing,
historical
sites, wildlife boat trips to name but a few - and great places to eat local produce.
Being
just
six
miles
from
the
Border,
we
are
perfectly
situated
to
explore
Northumbland
as
well
as
Berwicksire
and
Roxboughshire.
We
are
45
miles
from
Edinburgh
and
66
miles
from
Newcastle,
so
a
day
trip
is
easy
to
do
either
by
car
or
car and train.
We
welcome
cyclists,
bikers,
riders
and
walkers
whether
for
a
pitstop
or
an
overnight
stay.
We
have
secure
storage
for
bikes
and
can
arrange
livery
stabling
locally.
We
also
welcome
motorhomes/camper
vans;
please
phone
ahead.
We
do
not
charge,
but
hope
that
owners
pop
in
for
a
drink
or
two,
or
a
meal
subject
to
table
availability.
Weather-permitting,
vans
park
around
back
in
our
garden
with
a
stunning
view
of
the
countryside.
Please
note
however,
that
if
the
ground
is
too
soggy
parking
is
available
at
the
front,
roadside.
Using
our
toilets,
when
we
are
open, is fine too. We are listed with Brit Stops and SearchforSites.

We
have
four
comfortable,
well-appointed
en-suite

method
of
booking
accommodation,
we

live

However,

us
directly
is
our
preference
and
usually
affords
you
a
better
deal
with
the
flexibility
to
book
our
Dinner,
Bed
and
Breakfast
rate
(available
seven
nights
a
week).
Whichever
way
you
book,
if

time
of

We
do
not,
currently,
charge
a
fee
for
a

however,
if
extra
cleaning
is
needed,
because
of
your

there
will
be
a

We ask dog owners to:
- wipe your dog's paws if wet and/or muddy before going upstairs;
- keep your dog off the furniture including the bed;

Once
