A stately country house that draws together a championship golf course and beautifully manicured gardens and woodland, The Roxburghe Hotel exclusively offers not only first-class food, but also the warmest of Scottish welcomes, and much more besides.

An extension of The Roxburghe Estate, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, the hotel has the power to lift your spirits, even before you’ve stepped through its palatial threshold – simply driving along the long winding road through acres of woodland is nothing short of magical. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of outdoor pursuits (fishing, golfing, shooting or horse riding) or a weekend of pampered bliss (the hotel includes a health and beauty salon), The Roxburghe will succeed in its mission to rejuvenate and reinvigorate.

Needless to say, dining at The Roxburghe is an unforgettable experience. After an exhausting day trekking the rolling countryside, retire to The Dining Room at The Roxburghe, where the stately elegance continues. All dishes on the finely crafted menu make use of home-grown produce, including Roxburghe Estate game, salmon, wild mushrooms and freshly picked herbs. For starters, my smoked salmon was firm but flaked perfectly from the bone – the freshest salmon I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. To follow, my sirloin was tender, my knife running through it to reveal a perfectly pink centre. All dishes we sampled further confirmed The Roxburghe’s deserved reputation as one of the finest hotels in the region. This beautiful place is perfect for all kinds of celebration, so don’t delay in booking a room, a table, or indeed both.
