Located on the edge of the village of Heiton, nestled in the magnificent countryside of the Scottish Borders, the Roxburghe Hotel and Golf Resort has good access from the A68 and A1 via the A698. For discerning race-goers visiting the nearby Kelso Races, the Roxburghe Hotel creates the feeling that one is checking into a beautiful home rather than a hotel. Indeed, for visitors who shun modern soulless accommodation in favour of tranquility and a bit of up market sophistication, then this is the hotel for you.
Owned by the Duke of Roxburghe, and a few minutes drive from the romantic Floors Castle, the hotel nestles privately amongst woodland on the banks of the River Teviot. Many of the hotel’s 22 luxury guest rooms have been designed by the Duchess, (an interior designer in her own right). The hotel offers single, twin and double bedded rooms, including four poster rooms and suites. These are split between 16 rooms in the main house, and 6 bedrooms in the Courtyard Annex. Similar to the hotel’s spacious reception rooms, all of the guest bedrooms are furnished with care and elegance, and 2 have the added comfort of real log fires. Each room provides fluffy bath robes and slippers, morning newspaper and complimentary mineral water. Despite the relaxing country house ambience, all guest rooms surreptitiously incorporate all the modern amenities expected by discerning guests.
Whether for lunch or dinner, eating at the Roxburghe Hotel Restaurant is a culinary experience not to be missed. Head Chef Mark Swinney uses home grown produce from the Roxburghe estate, including; game, salmon, wild mushrooms and freshly picked herbs from the garden, thus ensuring diners receive only the freshest of home made cuisine. As everything is freshly made, the kitchen staff can also create individual menus for guests with allergies or special dietary requirements. To this fine standard of food, the restaurant also offers a fine selection of wines from the Duke’s cellar, and there is also a comprehensive whisky selection for an after dinner dram. On request, private parties can also be accommodated with private dining facilities.
The Roxburghe Estate is not just the perfect place for golfers; there are also fishing, shooting, mountain-biking, riding and beauty treatments on offer.
