Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel has a superb location of 11 acres alongside the river Tweed. Ample car parking, outdoor seating, very close to Dryberg Abbey and with historical roots, the house has great character. It is spacious and comfortable throughout with two lounges and virtually all day catering. Obviously with a hotel of this history and size there are areas which need renovation. Our room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the en suite likewise but the TV didn't work, which was not a problem for us. The breakfast was excellent offering a wide range of choices and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall we were very pleased with the hotel. It was good value and very convenient for touring the Scottish borders. We recommend it and are likely to return."

"A rather old fashioned and somewhat dowdy hotel. Our room was somewhat antique, but clean with a modern bathroom. There were large windows and a glass door from outside into the room. We had to try several windows to find one that was open. There were large floor to ceiling curtains that were difficult to draw and did not properly cut out the outside light. There were few amenities provided in the room, limited toiletries, no bottled water, etc. There is a car park but we only managed to squeeze in using the electric charger space which was broken as there was limited space. Overall it was OK but gave the impression of being somewhat uncared for."

"This hotel is in an amazing location and the views are stunning. The food, staff, grounds and pool etc were what definitely what makes this hotel a 4 star. The room however was rough round the edges with threadbare carpet, holes on the armchairs, bed base pretty rough and the TV unable to get basic channels. The bathroom was beautiful and the room was really clean. It just needs investment but it is huge! "

I hadn’t booked a table to eat but they squeezed me in at the bar. My burger was delicious. They also had a great selection of local beers."
