My wife and I stayed for two nights at the end of October returning from Scotland. What a great place in a good location. Really friendly, excellent accomodation as we looked around the area. Great breakfast, the porridge and whisky with Cream are well worth it as was the cooked breakfast. Quiet and relaxing , good room which was great . Even the wall paper looked new and neat ( my wife noticed). We.will stay again. Loved it Loved the rooms, well thought through.

Booked an evening meal and all three of us really enjoyed it. Lasagne was delicious and filling, balti curry was just right and scampi and chips were perfect. Nice friendly welcome from the barman and other staff and drinks and meal prices were soooo reasonable. Would have no hesitation on making a return visit.

Lovely community owned pub, locals and staff were very friendly and welcoming. I arrived on a pushbike and they stored it overnight for me which was convenient as it’s right on the Coast and Castles route. The room was very clean and comfortable, I slept like a baby. Oh and the shower pressure was superb, I felt very clean after a much needed shower! The breakfast was very delicious and a good portion. They weren’t serving dinner the evening I stayed due to a staff absence but they told me well in advanced and gave me alternative suggestions. Spectacular all around!

The accommodation at the Fishers Arms was top notch. A lovely place run by the community. The breakfast was delicious, the folks really friendly and the room was really comfortable. The shower pressure in room one was amazing. I think I could move in for that shower alone! My visit had coincided with the Tuesday night live music sessions and I've uploaded a clip. Really lovely. A convenient location for sightseeing. As it is run by the community, there are sometimes glitches when short staffing lead to no evening food availability, but the team were able to recommend lots of alternatives that were not far at all. A lovely picturesque place to visit - you can tell they have won awards for their gardens, as every corner had amazing flowers too.

Booked a table for a group of us walking the Berwickshire Coastal Path. Staff were very friendly and the food was excellent and great value! The pub has a "cosy" atmosphere and we had a very enjoyable evening. It was our favourite of the 4 pubs we used whilst in the area. Well recommended!

Community-owned pub serving good local beer and tasty food in a friendly, cosy atmosphere. Close to the River Tweed, this is great stop off – or you can stay the night in one of their two rooms. Great to visit when on holiday but I wish it was my local!

We were very grateful for the warm welcome we received in this community owned pub 4th September 2025. A really genuine friendly, relaxed reception by not just the "staff" serving, but also the fellow customers!!! They made us both feel very at ease, and Bobby the Labrador very much at home. The food was nicely prepared and nothing was too much trouble! With Appreciation Dave & Alison

Great community pub at the end of a long riverside walk from Berwick upon Tweed. Two excellent ales on offer and what friendly locals. Shame there was no lunchtime food (well it was February). Bus stop back to Berwick just up the road.
