What a joy to arrive at this wonderful Arts and Craft house. Warm welcome from Linda and Derek. Splendid tea with home baked biscuits and cakes. Guided tour of the house built in 1906 with all original fixtures together with furniture and soft furnishings of the period. Lovely bedrooms. Beautifully cooked breakfast to set us up for the day.

We booked two rooms recently for two nights and we can not fault it! The house is remarkable and has so much beautiful character. The owners, Derek and Linda, could not have been more helpful and welcoming, they make great hosts. Breakfast was delicious, so many lovely, local things to try! We will definitely return to this lovely guest house... More

There is very little to add to the many glowing reports of this wonderful B & B. the warm welcome, marvellous decor and superb cleanliness it is at the very peak of accommodation in the Borbers. Quite simply -the very best you could wish for.

This beautiful boutique guest house in the Scottish Borders is so good that words cannot describe the experience, the grounds and the house are stunning. Then you add the magic ingredient, your hosts Derek and Linda Chapman. If you are fortunate enough to visit the Scottish Borders and you are lucky enough to book into the Maplehurst and have the...

I'll keep this short as the fact that 71 other reviewers have given this 5 stars and said pretty much everything I'd want to say. If you've checked out the Trip Advisor website or Maplehurst's own website you'll know just how stunning this place is. What you won't necessarily get from the pictures is the kindness and attentiveness that Derek... More

I loved it here so much I could cry. Dramatic I know, but true. Beautiful Arts & Crafts home lovingly restored - a real joy to look around. Cosy, homely and special. Every detail was spot on - fresh milk (not UHT), apt coffee-table books, the treats in the fridge, the whisky... It was quiet whilst I was there -... More

Whilst touring the borders over Easter, we booked Maplehurst for 2 nights and had the warmest of welcomes from Derek and Linda, greeted with afternoon tea and goodies on arrival. We were shown around the beautiful house and our accommodation and there was never any need to rush. Every attention to detail was paid and nothing was too much trouble!... More
