“Great hotel for you and your dogs. Large grounds for walks and your right next to the river. Staff are fabulous and rooms cosy too. We had a large double bed room with modern bathroom. We ate in the restaurant for evening meal and had breakfast with your normal continental and full scottish breakfast. I couldn't fault this hotel. When we were on our way there we stopped at Scott's View and then stopped at the car park for Wallace Statue which is a short 5 minute walk from the car park. We had a day out in Jedburgh and visited Mary Queen of Scott's House and Jedburgh Jail which was free admission. On our last day we went a walk from the hotel to the suspension bridge and you will also see and a few steps to climb to the nature statue on the hill. Ideal hotel if you are taking your dogs. They can dine with you at breakfast and dinner and you can relax outside for refreshments and take in the beautiful views.”

“The hotel is a classic Scottish mansion with grand public areas. Staff were pleasant and helpful, although some in the restaurant areas were rather lacking in focus. Overall, the stay was very good and our dog was made very welcome. We would certainly visit again.”

“Room was good but have stayed in better at same price. The only disappointment was breakfast, there were 4 staff on duty but it took 40 minutes for anyone to take our order. We were due to stay a week later when I was going to ask for better service but due to circumstances we weren't able stay.”

Would you like to add any more feedback about your stay? We really feel that Dryburgh Abbey could be fantastic, but we were quite disappointed by the lack of staff training - some service was wonderful, but some was certainly lacking in the basics. The website suggests “fantastic seasonal cuisine” with “menus driven by what is available and fresh on the day” - however, we were given the same, minimal, laminated menu each evening and, other than the Cajun chicken, the food was mediocre at best. Providing condiments in plastic sachets is not only environmentally terrible, but also what I would expect from a fast food restaurant not a high quality establishment. Similarly, providing sachets of Nescafé original at breakfast was far from what I would expect, or consider acceptable. The breakfast was largely tasteless, with cheap gristly sausages. We did have a lovely time, but sadly would not hurry back.

“I previously left a review after my stay. It suggested some room for improvement. I had no response so went to the website to check, and noticed that mine and 2 other ‘less positive’ reviews had been deleted. If you can’t get honest feedback/reviews, I would avoid using this service. The grounds of the hotel and views of the river are fantastic. The dogs certainly loved the freedom and warm welcome they always received from the staff. Our room was large and comfortable, but very dated (especially the bathroom). We felt quite let down by the quality of food, which did not live up to the high expectations set on the hotel website. (The Buccleuch Arms in St Boswells, was however exceptional).”

Would you like to add any more feedback about your stay? Did ask for Soya milk as I have cancer but was told they only have Oat milk, so not happy about that. had black tea instead

“Very welcoming, staff were able to help if needed. Comfortable feling in all the rooms. Bedroom large and yet cosy. very clean. meals were great, but used the same menu for all of the three days we were there which was a bit monotonous. Dog got a sausage for breakfast which she loved.”
