A POPULAR and award-winning Borders pub, hotel and restaurant has put expansion plans on the agenda.

A planning application has been submitted to Scottish Borders Council for alterations and extension to provide self-contained guest accommodation at the Gordon Arms Hotel and Restaurant in Yarrow.

The work is earmarked for an existing storage area and former bunk house and will also involve the replacement of windows.

The AA four-star rated business was taken over by Bryn and Oxana Jones when they moved to the region from Oxfordshire in April last year.
