Top Dryburgh Abbey Hotel Reviews

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This property is in a quiet place right next to Dryburgh Abbey. It's a great location to explore the other abbeys and small towns in the area. The rooms were quite large with large bathrooms. It's an old building, so the floors slope, which for us, added to the charm. The restaurant is very good for dinner. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely stay there."

Schloss Roxburghe Golf Resort, Part of Destination by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding service, food, amenities and grounds. We enjoyed our 5 days at Schloss Roxburghe immensely which made it truly difficult to tear ourselves away. The Golf course is spectacular and the views of the rolling hills, ancient bridge and cattle in the distance are so delightful. Nod to the lovely staff at both the clubhouse and estate. The dinner at Charlie's was superb and Sunlaws was exceptional. The service we received throughout our stay was so welcoming and first class. We could have spent the whole day at the wonderful spa so I can appreciate why there is a 4 hour limit. I would also add that the town of Kelso is close by and we enjoyed shopping and dining there as well. Looking forward to returning to Schloss Roxburghe!"

George and Abbotsford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, good location, pleasant staff and overall a good stay. I am happy to recommend this hotel for a stay."

Newcastle Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Just booked in for one night just me and my dog my room was big I had a choice of double bed or 2singlebeds all to myself everything was spotless . Staff were helpful and very nice good food and fab breakfast. I would definitely use them again"

Roxburghe Cottages, Part of Destination by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"What a perfect place to stay. We stayed in one of the two bedroom cottages which was perfect. I could not say a negative thing about the cottage. We only stayed for 2 nights while visiting near bye family. But we will be back for a proper break"

The Royal Hotel

8/10 Good

"No frills hotel, very basic, but clean. OK for a night. Brekkie was nice."

Balcary House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great place and location. Must admit I find it unusual that I book and paid for a 3 person room. Then told on arrival supplement for 3rd person needs to be paid."

The Central Guest House

8/10 Good

"This accommodation is very well located in the Kelso town square and within easy walking distance to pubs, cafes and restaurants.The bakery to the left of the front door is outstanding for home cooked morning rolls and beautiful cakes. Apartment 1 is spacious, clean and has everything you need despite the furnishings being a bit dated. Note this accommodation may not be suitable for those with mobility issues due to the stairs to all rooms. This is a great base for trips to Lindisfarne,Bamburgh castle(Last Kingdom) and abbeys in Melrose, Jedburgh and Kelso itself. Cute shops in Kelso as well."

The Border Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with excellent pub attached, particularly good for a drink but also served good food. Breakfast was also very good, and packed lunches are can be bought for anyone on a hiking trip if you arrange this the evening before"
