The Allanton Inn

Passion

Since 2010, William & Katrina Reynolds and their family have been hosts at The Allanton Inn. Katrina was delighted to return to the area where she grew up and her family have continued to farm for over 70 years, (although have farmed in the south of Scotland for hundreds of years). 

The Allanton Inn is very much a family run business passionate about its place in history, the local community and in promoting the beautiful region.

Pride

William & Katrina pride themselves on their life-long commitment and dedication to the hospitality industry, using their expertise from many years working in the trade since having first met in 1990 when studying Hospitality Management at Robert Gordons University, Aberdeen.  They have worked hard at transforming the inn to provide unparalleled hospitality and service in the Scottish Borders and were were delighted to be awarded Highly Commended Medium Sized Business at the Scottish Borders Chambers of Commerce Business Excellence Awards 2023.

Positivity

True to the nature of an inn, the Allanton Inn is a rural hotel which provides accommodation, food & refreshments for travellers.

The guests that come back time and time again and the positive online reviews reinforce the first-class hospitality the inn endeavours to offer.

Professional

Relaxed, friendly and professionally run, the inn welcomes and is frequented by locals, trade & business bookings, families, tourists, and weekenders alike.
