The Roxburghe Hotel and Golf Course reflects the warm, friendly country house atmosphere to be expected when staying with friends in a beautiful home rather than merely checking into a hotel.

If you shun modern and soulless accommodation in favour of tranquillity and a bit of up-market sophistication this is the place for you.

Owned by the Duke of Roxburghe, the hotel nestles privately amongst woodlands on the banks of the River Teviot. Many of the 22 bedrooms have all been individually designed by the Duchess herself, some of which have four poster beds and log fires.

The Scottish Borders is renowned for the quality of its fish, meat and game and this local produce is used to good effect by the award winning Chef Keith Short. The hotel has a fine choice of wines with a selection from the Duke's own cellar, to compliment the high standard of food.

Roxburghe Golf Course

The Championship Roxburghe Golf Course lies adjacent to the hotel. Home to the Charles Church Scottish Seniors Open for 5 years, the course has been selected to host the prestigious 2008 Amateur Boys championship inaugurated by two members of the Royal Ascot Golf Club in 1921 . It is the 5th top inland course in Scotland, designed by Dave Thomas and fast becoming well recognised around the world. The course record is 66, held by Sergio Garcia. Colin Montgomerie maintains "It's a perfect course for professionals and amateurs".
