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."

"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! "

"We’ve just had a wonderful stay with our two dogs. From the initial booking to follow up messages everything was handled well. On arriving late we were met by the restaurant manager and shown to our room which was very nice. Needs a little bit of maintenance on the old windows so that they all be open but otherwise all was good. Breakfast was excellent and served in the bar so our dogs could be with us. Similarly we had evening dinner in the garden room. The grounds are lovely with lots of walks for the dogs. Thank you for a lovely stay and a special thank you to Hubert for his hospitality"
