Beautiful location and building
The hotel itself is beautiful and my room overlooked the River Tweed…. Scenery is unbelievable and the view from the window could be on a postcard. The hotel was fairly clean, some of the decor is a little tired, but it’s an old building and modern fixtures or decoration would ruin it. The bed and pillows weren’t great, my advice would be to invest in new mattresses and supportive pillows… it was the only negative but a nights sleep is important. The food in the restaurant was lovely and the bar/wait staff were very accommodating and pleasant. I would definitely stay again and would like to come back for a short break so I can enjoy the local area, rather than rushing off to meet customers.

We often stay at the Dryburgh Abbey Hotel because of its warm and friendly welcome. The staff are professional and go the extra mile to make a comfortable, happy, friendly atmosphere. The hotel surroundings are naturally very attractive and peaceful with views of the river and Abbey.

Location was perfect for us. It felt remote but was still only a short drive to the village. Visited local areas and easily caught the train to Edinburgh. The staff were friendly and approachable and the room very comfortable. We would consider staying again.

Beautiful character building - with a little more attention to detail could be excellent. Lovely rooms but would be better if bathroom had full instead of part renovation. Most staff friendly- some if receptionists could be much more so! Left today with not so much as did you enjoy your stay, goodbye or have a good journey!
