The Grapes Hotel is a cycle hub in the heart of the Scottish Borders, close to the famous Kielder Water and we are a good stop over on the wonderful Reivers Route or Coast to Coast Route which links the Irish Sea with the North Sea.
Many cycle clubs meet at the Grapes and stay more than once a year - Some are family groups just out for a break.

Those wishing to tackle this 173-mile long challenge should book in now and check out the rest of the route on www.reivers-route.co.uk , or in Coast to Coast Cycle Routes (Baytree Press ) available on www.c2c-guide.co.uk
