We loved staying in this beautiful old hotel. The staff were so kind and treated us like we were the only ones there. The food was delicious and the head chef was so thoughtful that she put a vegetarian dish on the menu for me. We only planned to stay one or two nights but couldn’t bring ourselves to leave and ended up staying 4 nights.

The Dryburgh Abbey Hotel was simply lovely, quiet, and beautiful along the River Tweed. It was especially nice because the Dryburgh Abbey was walking distance from the hotel and something to see and experience. Everyone at the hotel and the guests were very friendly. The restaurant was delicious. It's definitely an adult hotel as there was very little to nothing to do for children. We had a very pleasant stay in a nice room.

This hotel is charming in every way. It is situated in a very beautiful setting, along the Tweed River, next to the stunning Dryburgh Abbey ruins. It is very peaceful and quiet, a wonderful getaway from the daily grind. Breakfast was a wonderful meal each day and there is also dining options for the evening. Free parking on site which was also convenient for my rental car. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Dryburgh Abbey Hotel and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely setting and grand old place with the usual creaks and sound effects of an old and grand house. The staff were friendly and pretty efficient; - slightly sad we could not take the dogs down to the magnificent River Tweed running past - but presumably there would be safety concerns as well as outrage from anglers! The Abbey Ruins next door are stunning as well. Overall, we were very happy indeed

We stayed 2 nights, a traditional hotel which exceeded expectations, the hotel was grand and not what we normally use, but it was great. Some of the decorations were tired but they are working on all these areas. Beds we’re comfortable and breakfast had good choice. We attended the Kelso ram sale and it was a lovely treat.

Disappointing a grand old hotel that has seen better days.Pub style food service on plain Formica tables,no table clothes,no character . Gone have the bottles of water in the room and the toiletries,it’s all about the bottom line Lethargic staff,who took 1/2 an hour to realise they hadn’t put the table number on our food so it sat in the kitchens as no one thought to see who was without food! Pathetic

It's nice, but it's pretty rundown at this point. The breakfast is awful, but the staff are nice and helpful, and the area is great, but the hotel itself is just rundown and sad.

A truly beautiful hotel in a wonderful country setting. We only spent one night there as part of a longer trip but we could have very easily spent a few days there exploring the surrounding countryside. If any traveller is looking for a great place to relax and forget the rest of the world for a while, we would recommend this spot.

We had a nice, quiet stay at this hotel to end our visit to Scotland. It was a very relaxing stay to end our trip. Our room was spacious, quiet, and comfortable. The Dryburgh Abbey is directly across the parking lot from the hotel. Nice views of the Abbey and the River Tweed from the hotel. We were sad to check in and walk to the Abbey just as they had closed for the evening, so we sadly weren’t able to visit it during our stay. The hotel has a small dining area and bar. I would recommend making a reservation for dinner if you are visiting.

Quality of food did not reflect the prices, a cocktail bar that only offered bloody mary or mojito and the choice of 1 from 4 draught beers since 3 of the fonts off due to no beers available. Very disappointing
