Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

Dryburgh Abbey Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is large with plenty of comfortable lounges to relax in. There is an outside area for lunch or drinks if the weather is nice. The hotel is next to the ruins of Dryburg Abbey which is Def worth a visit. The food is good. Breakfast excellent with lots of choice. Evening meal was good. Staff were great. The hotel is clean and well cared despite being very old. Lots of places to walk in the grounds and beside the river. There is onsite parking"
