Abbey guests at the Dryburgh

A lovely old country house hotel in outstandingly beautiful countryside. Welcoming family friendly atmosphere, the decor us maybe a bit 80s but the staff are wonderful and you will be well fed and watered in their bistro and bar. Lots to do locally and a great location for a long weekend.

Wonderful country setting on the River Tweed and right next door to the atmospheric abbey ruins. Good walks in the area. Nice for a romantic getaway. The breakfast rooms were traditionally elegant but the dining room lacked charm and ambience. The two should be reversed with a more upscale menu for dinner.
